Zav's Stamina and Abilities

by Zav

Zav's Stamina and Abilities adds a stamina bar, stamina-driven combat abilities and a learnable set of moves for Fabric players and servers.

FabricClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.19.2 – 1.20.6

What it does

Each ability spends stamina from a new bar, and the bar refills over time. Running stops stamina recovery until the player stops moving. Only the attack action drains stamina, so blocking and moving without attacking do not use it. Learn abilities books and learner items teach the moves, and most dungeons and mobs such as zombies and spiders drop the items needed to learn them.

The ability set covers Dodge, Kick, Parry, Backflip, Foot Stomp, Sword Dash, Full Swing, Guard Counter, Shield Crusher and Mega Dash. A Honey Fruit Punch food item temporarily increases stamina recovery. The mod requires Geckolib and playerAnimator, and the stamina bar slot in the texture pack belongs to Hecco, who gave the author permission to link it.

The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.6 across seven release versions, with the latest file built for 1.20.6. The server and every player need it. Earlier builds have a visual bug when switching dimensions.

Key features

  1. Stamina bar

    A stamina bar tracks how much energy the player has for moves, shown on the HUD.

  2. Stamina-drained attacks

    Only attacks drain stamina, and running pauses recovery until the player slows down.

  3. Combat abilities

    Eleven abilities, including Dodge, Parry, Sword Dash, Full Swing and Mega Dash, use stamina on activation.

  4. Learnable moves

    Learn abilities books and learner items teach the moves, and dungeon loot and mob drops supply them.

What the author says

This mod adds a new stamina bar. You can only drain it when you attack. Running however will stop the stamina recovery. Any version under 1.1.1 will get you a visual bug when switching dimensions!
