Golden Age Combat is here to save Minecraft's combat by serving as a faithful recreation of Minecraft 1.8's old combat mechanics for modern versions without any compromises. So say goodbye to the attack cooldown and hello spam clicking!

From removing the infamous attack cooldown along with all traces such as animations and tooltips, over various small querks in combat oriented game mechanics to even very minor animations; this mod has it all!

For bringing back not just fast paced combat, but also the old sword blocking mechanic, make sure to check out Sword Blocking Mechanics.

Please note that Golden Age Combat is designed purely for an experience in singleplayer or on modded servers. Playing on vanilla servers, especially competitive ones, is not possible and won't be supported.

▶️ The attack cooldown is gone: No cooldown animation, no attack indicator.

▶️ Attack damage values for every weapon and tool are rebalanced to accomodate the removed cooldown, mostly resembling Minecraft 1.8's values.

▶️ Critical hits can be dealt while sprinting.

▶️ Knockback is effective in the air, sending your targets flying if you hit often enough.

▶️ Snowballs and eggs deal knockback to players

▶️ Fishing rod hooks are an effective weapon against entities and players, dealing knockback and not taking as much damage.

▶️ Hitboxes are inflated by 10%, making it easier to hit targets.

▶️ Client-side combat animations are re-added: Lost hearts no longer flash, bow / potion / food punching.

▶️ Quick health regeneration from food is reverted: Surplus saturation will no longer trigger a ridiculously fast regeneration boost (disabled by default).

▶️ Enchanted golden apples give the effects they used to (most notably regeneration).

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FORGE & FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

Configuration is easily possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric) by installing Forge Config Screens.

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod if any at all.

🌟 Thanks to OrangeMarshall and their Old Animations Mod mod for remembering some old combat features brought back to life in Golden Age Combat!
