Tetra x Better Combat Patch
by Puggicorn
Tetra x Better Combat Patch lets the vanilla modules of Tetra tools work with Better Combat's attack animations.
What it does
The patch is a simple datapack that gives Tetra's vanilla modules combat behavior they lack on their own. Tetra tools built from these modules pick up the attack animation logic of Better Combat, and crafting with the base Tetra modules takes effect in combat. Support extends to Tetra's addon mods, which the datapack does not directly break. Installation needs Better Combat, Better Combat NBT fix and Tetra, and the patch is published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1. Only the server needs it, while players may add it, and the code is MIT licensed but not open source.
Key features
Module combat effects
Vanilla Tetra modules gain combat functions through a datapack, with no extra items needed.
Better Combat animations
Modular Tetra tools use Better Combat's attack animation logic in place of the default swing.
NBT compatibility fix
A known problem with Minecraft's NBT handling stopped the datapack from working; a community fix resolves it.

What the author says
This datapack allows using better combat's attack animation logic alongside tetra's modular tool items. It does this by using a crafting effect for each vanilla module in base Tetra. This datapack does not support any of Tetra's addon mods by itself, but shouldn't be directly incompatible either
