Custom Combat Mod
by maksim56456
Custom Combat Mod adds two keyboard-triggered melee moves, a basic punch and a stronger kick, to Forge builds for Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
Two special combat moves are bound to keys by default: a punch on the default attack key, and a kick on the V key. The punch deals 2.0 damage across a 4.0 block range, while the kick deals 4.0 damage across a 3.5 block range and pushes the target back with strong knockback. Both moves play their own animations, so the attacks read as distinct actions rather than standard swings.
The mod is published for Forge only, with a single build, 1.0.0, for 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Settings are changed in the in-game controls menu under Key Bindings, in the Custom Combat Mod category, and the configuration is stored through Forge's config system. Multiplayer synchronization is included, so the moves work on servers as well as in single-player worlds. The code is not open source; the author holds the rights under All rights reserved.
