Fast Tool Switching

by CursedFlames

Fast Tool Switching changes how switching items interacts with the attack cooldown, so a quick swap cannot be used to bypass it.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.1

What it does

Swapping to another item resets the attack cooldown in vanilla play, which lets a player alternate weapons to strike again sooner. This mod keeps the time since the last attack when the held item changes, so the swap no longer clears the wait. Rapid switching gains nothing, and an item with a longer cooldown still applies its full delay after the switch. Client and server both need it, Fabric API is required, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Builds exist for 1.21 – 26.1 on Fabric and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Cooldown kept on switch

    Switching held items no longer resets the attack cooldown, so the timer carries over from the previous attack.

  2. No quick-swap exploit

    Alternating between weapons in quick succession does not let a player attack faster than the cooldown allows.

  3. Full cooldown for slow items

    An item with a longer attack cooldown still waits its full delay after being switched to.

What the author says

Stops players' attack cooldown from resetting when they switch items. The time since last attack is retained, so this cannot be exploited by attacking with a quick weapon then switching to an item with a longer cooldown. (The full cooldown will still apply)
