Legacy Sword

by Yumetztli

Legacy Sword brings back classic sword spam-clicking from the versions before the attack cooldown was added, for players who want that combat style.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.2

What it does

Only swords are affected. Axes, tridents and other weapons keep their usual timing, so the rest of combat stays as it is. The mod restores the older system without modifying the entire combat model, which the author describes as more balanced.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. The server is required and the client is optional, and the mod works with vanilla and without a resource pack. Files cover 1.21 – 26.2 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Classic spam-click combat

    Swords return to the rapid repeated-click attacks used before the attack cooldown was introduced.

  2. Swords only

    Other weapons and tools stay on their usual timing and standard attack handling.

  3. Datapack option

    A datapack version can be dropped into the world's datapacks folder for a classic PvP experience.
