X-Tra Attacks
by OscarThomas
X-Tra Attacks replaces left-click spamming with a combat system inspired by Tears of the Kingdom, where the direction of a swing changes its outcome.
What it does
Swing direction is read from mouse movement at the moment of attack, so moving the mouse while striking changes the result. Sprint attacks always land as a forward lunge. Four distinct weapon types each handle these directional swings in their own way, giving players a reason to vary their attacks rather than click repeatedly.
Three new enemies inspired by the Hyrule setting join the game: Bokoblins, red-skinned scavengers that alert nearby allies, spot the player and flee once their health gets low; Moblins, hulking green brutes whose heavy slam takes a few seconds to charge and deals heavy damage while launching the player backward, leaving a window to dodge; and Evermeans, tree monsters that disguise themselves as scenery and stand motionless until the player wanders within four blocks. An Evermean's slam roots the player in place with Slowness IV.
The mod runs on Minecraft 1.21.1 with Fabric Loader 0.16.9 and is installed on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Fabric API is required alongside it. The MIT License covers it, though the project is not open source.

Directional swing combat
Mouse movement during an attack sets the swing direction, so the same click can produce different results.

Each of the four weapon types handles directional swings and sprint attacks in its own way.
Bokoblin scavengers
Bokoblins alert allies, spot the player and flee when their health runs low.
Moblin heavy slams
