Golden Age Combat
by Fuzs
Golden Age Combat removes the attack cooldown and adjusts damage, knockback and hitboxes so combat plays like an older Minecraft style, for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The attack cooldown is removed, along with its animation and attack indicator, so players can attack as fast as they can click. Damage values for weapons and tools are rebalanced to offset the missing cooldown, following the values of an earlier release. Critical hits can land while sprinting, and knockback works in the air, so a series of hits can send a target flying.
The mod also covers smaller combat details: snowballs and eggs push players back, fishing rod hooks act as a weapon that deals knockback and takes less damage, and hitboxes are inflated by 10 percent. Client-side animations return, including lost hearts that no longer flash and punching with a bow, potion or food. The author describes it as a fit for singleplayer and modded servers, not vanilla competitive play. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, and Forge Config Screens is optional. Settings can be changed in game through Mod Menu on Fabric, or edited in the config folder in the client, common and server config files.
