Chefmakes' Wavedash

A wavedash is performed by jumping while holding a direction key and sneaking, which sends the player's thrust diagonally downward so the landing carries a short slide. The technique is taken from the well-known move in the Smash Bros. melee fighting game, and the mod recreates its general behavior for use in Minecraft. Several variables control how the slide plays out, including the traction and how strongly the thrust pushes horizontally and vertically, so the feel can be tuned toward a lighter or a heavier wavedash.

The mod suits situations where quick maneuverability matters, such as fights against bosses, where a fast dodge away from a hit can avoid taking damage. It runs on Fabric for 1.21.1, and the source code is publicly available. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu must be installed alongside it. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
