Five Duration Swing

This is probably one of the niche mods out there, but it is made to solve a nitpick I have about minecraft's handswing. It feels too slow.

What the mod does

It changes one single thing: reduces the handswing animation length from 6 to 5 ticks. That's it. No configuration, no runtime toggle.

This mod is so simple that it doesn't even need fabric api, you can just plop it into your newly created fabric instance and it will work out of the box.

Datapack edition

For all the maniacs (me) who want to use a faster hand swing mining animation without wanting to install mods.

Version 2 and older

Works by conditionally applying haste 1 effect on the player, then scale back the mining and attack speed buff.

This runs a predicate check every tick and can potentially hurt performance if run in a server.

Version 3

Specifically applies the swing animation data component to the player's mainhand's tool.

Version 4

Now uses the schedule command to reduce the check frequency to 1 per second.

Enjoy!
