Knifestock

Knifestock changes melee combat against livestock: an animal can only be hit when the player holds a knife, and the mod checks the items against the knifestock:knives tag. The livestock list comes from the knifestock:livestock tag, which covers the animal entities it targets. Ranged weapons keep working as normal. The mod was made because BetterCombat makes slaughtering livestock tedious with its large area-of-effect attacks. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds exist for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest file on Fabric and Quilt, and the code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.
