CombatEventFix

BetterCombat replaces vanilla attack input handling, which keeps Forge's click input events from firing during custom attacks. CombatEventFix makes BetterCombat's custom attacks trigger the matching Forge input event and respect that event's cancellation result. Once the attacks are routed this way, other mods can catch them on the standard event path and stop them. The fix also lets BetterCombat and EpicFight work with ParCoolSkill, so skills that were previously blocked can trigger.

EpicFight swaps vanilla critical hits for its own implementation, which Forge's critical hit event cannot detect. The fix restores the vanilla critical hit path while keeping EpicFight's original critical hit behavior, so other mods can detect EpicFight critical hits through that event. A separate change moves EpicFight's damage multiplier to the stage where damage is calculated, so increased damage is applied before armor and other reductions, not after them. One case from the author shows a critical hit struck with a Diamond Sword at an armored Zombie, where the damage now comes out as designed.

The mod requires no extra mods, but Better Combat and Epic Fight are optional dependencies that it is built to fix. Cleave in EpicFight is excluded on purpose, because its design is intentionally incompatible.
