Reduced Invincibility Frames
by MrSypz
Reduced Invincibility Frames shortens the brief window after a hit in which Minecraft ignores further damage, so back-to-back attacks land more often.
What it does
Reduced Invincibility Frames, abbreviated RIF, lowers the duration of the invincibility frames that follow each hit, and can disable them entirely. The author describes the aim as bringing combat closer to older Minecraft versions, where repeated attacks were not blocked as often. Damage falloff for rapid attacks is reduced by 20%, 40% or 60% at most, so fast attack patterns deal more damage than in the vanilla setting.
The mod is server-side only: the server must run it, while players join without installing anything. Both the server and each player need Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu. Mod Menu opens the configuration screen, and Cloth Config provides the settings. Reduced Invincibility Frames is published for Fabric across four release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.5, and the latest file targets 1.21.5. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author maintains an issue tracker and plans further updates.
