Crit Combo
by Volkeyn
Crit Combo adds a hit-streak system to Minecraft combat, where each landed critical hit in a row raises a counter that adds bonus damage to later critical hits.
What it does
Consecutive critical hits build a combo counter. Each stack adds 3% bonus critical damage, up to 15 stacks. A non-critical hit taken on the player, or 10 seconds without any hit, resets the counter to zero. Jumping and hitting an enemy while falling lands a critical hit, so the combo is built through normal play.
The combo counter is shown on the action bar, and particle effects grow more intense as the combo rises. A subtle bell sound plays on each increment, and the sound can be switched off. The config file sets the damage bonus per stack, the stack cap, the timeout and the sound option.
The mod runs on the Forge and NeoForge loaders. It is published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Forge and NeoForge, and for 1.21.11 on NeoForge, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, because the damage bonus is applied on the server.

What the author says
CritCombo adds a satisfying crit combo system to Minecraft combat. Land consecutive critical hits to build your combo counter. The higher your combo, the more bonus crit damage you deal. But be careful — missing a crit, taking damage, or stopping for 10 seconds will reset your combo back to zero.
