Combat Re-Imagined
by Meowser
Combat Re-Imagined changes melee on Forge 1.20.1 with longer attack reach, a dash bound to movement input, and a scythe weapon.
What it does
Attack reach is the core mechanic. Different weapons reach different distances, so a player can strike from three blocks with one weapon or from six with another. The mod is built around positioning in fights rather than standing still and trading hits.
The dash lets a player move quickly in whatever direction they are looking, which suits escapes and aggressive closing. A scythe joins the weapon set with a wide sweeping arc that can hit several enemies in one swing, and its attack speed depends on the material it is crafted from. Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it.
The project is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Development continues, with more features and improvements planned by the author. Installation is Forge only, and the latest file targets 1.20.1, released 2025-02-08, with the first version dated 2024-10-18.
Key features
Attack reach by weapon
Weapons reach different distances, from three blocks for precise strikes to six blocks for ranged attacks.
Dashing
Holding a dash input while wielding an axe or scythe moves the player quickly in the direction they are facing.
Scythe weapon
A new scythe combines the attack damage of axes with a wide sweeping arc that hits several enemies at once.
Material-based attack speed
The material used to craft the scythe sets its attack speed, giving players a choice in crafting.
