Swing Speed
Swing Speed lets players change how fast the hand swing animation plays, from 10% up to 100% of the default speed.
What it does
A player who wants a snappy response can raise the speed, while a slow-motion swipe is available at the low end. The value is set with a percentage slider in the in-game configuration screen, which opens with the Right Shift key. The key can be rebound, and the menu also has a toggle that switches the mod on or off.
The mod is a client-side only change, so players install it alone and servers need nothing. Files exist for Fabric only, and Fabric API is required. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.2 across eight release versions, with the latest file, 1.0+26.2, targeting 26.2 and dated 2026-07-21. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. It was first published on 2026-03-28 and last updated on 2026-07-21.

Pressing Right Shift opens a clean menu where the speed and the enabled state can be changed in game.

Use cases
Fast combat feel
Players who prefer an instant response can keep the speed high, so the swing finishes quickly after each action.
Dramatic animation
Players who want exaggerated motion can lower the speed toward 10%, which stretches the swing into a slow swipe.
Who it’s for: Players who want to tune the look of the hand swing animation on Fabric. Only the player needs the mod, so it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike.
