Ice and Fire Dragons X Better Combat
by jslament
Ice and Fire Dragons X Better Combat connects the weapons of the Ice and Fire mod to the Better Combat combat system, so that dragon-themed gear works with its attack animations and combos.
What it does
The mod adds Better Combat compatibility to weapons from Ice and Fire. Amphithere Macuahuitl, Hippocampus slapper and troll weapons are among the items that take part in the Better Combat system once it is installed alongside both mods. The integration is limited to the weapons it covers, and other Ice and Fire items keep their normal behavior.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing it. It targets Forge and is published across 10 release versions, with 1.0 for 1.19.4 as the latest Forge file. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source. Ice and Fire and Better Combat must both be present for the compatibility to work.
Key features
Amphithere weapon handling
The Amphithere Macuahuitl follows the Better Combat attack behavior instead of its default swing.
Hippocampus slapper attacks
The Hippocampus slapper uses the combat rules of Better Combat, so its strikes follow that system's timing.
Troll weapon coverage
Troll weapons from Ice and Fire receive the same combat handling as the other supported weapons.
Modpack setup
The integration is intended for modpacks that combine Ice and Fire with Better Combat, so one setup covers both.
