Hold To Attack

Hold To Attack lets a player keep the attack button held. Instead of tapping once per swing, the attack fires when the cooldown indicator has filled, so every hit lands at maximum damage. The mod adds no items, blocks or menus; it only alters how vanilla combat responds to the mouse. Players using it on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt install it on the client, and servers do not need it, so it works in multiplayer and on realms without any server-side install.

The mod also checks whether the crosshair is on a valid target before it swings, which avoids wasted attacks into empty air. That makes it useful for long fights and for mob farming, where repeated tapping is tiring. Files are offered for 22 release versions 1.20 – 26.2, so one install works across that range.
