CombatEdit

A server-side Fabric mod that brings back 1.8-style combat to modern versions of Minecraft! Can additionally configure default attributes for all entities and items.

Requirements

This mod does not require client-side installation or the Fabric API (necessary Fabric API modules are bundled with the mod), however, to configure attributes with a GUI, Mod Menu is required to open the configuration screen.

Features

The default settings of this mod bring back 1.8-style combat. Additionally (since version 2.0), the following options are configurable either via the options screen or the configuration file (see Configuration):

• Default entity attributes for living entities (max health, attack damage, attack speed, movement speed, ...)
• Default item attribute modifiers for all item types (additional damage, attack speed, ...)
• Which attack sounds should be enabled or disabled
• Whether 1.8-style knockback should be enabled

Please note that although changing item and entity attributes while in a world is possible and I've tried my best to make it work as seamlessly as possible, it could potentially still lead to unexpected behaviour and (probably smaller) bugs.

Configuration

CombatEdit uses different concepts for configuring itself:

Settings file

This is the main way for players to configure the mod. Configurations made in the settings file take precedence over the base profile and profile extension configurations, and the settings file determines which base profile is to be used. For users, the main way to configure the settings is using the GUI screen accessible via ModMenu in the Mods list (by clicking on the gear button once CombatEdit is selected). The settings file is saved in .config/combatedit/settings.json relative to the minecraft/server directory.

To configure these options on a server, you can create and save your configuration on the client using the configuration screen and then upload the config file (in config/combatedit/settings.json) to the same directory inside the server directory.

Base profiles

Base profiles determine the main configuration for entity and item attributes. CombatEdit includes two base profiles:

• the 1.8 Combat Profile (combatedit:1_8_combat), which is enabled by default and sets entity and item attributes values to resemble a modern version of 1.8 Combat (using the same damage values as Bedrock Edition)
• the Vanilla profile (combatedit:vanilla), which leaves default entity and item attributes untouched.

Datapack creators can provide their own base profiles (see Datapacks) to create different base configurations.

Profile extensions

Profile extensions allow adjusting the configuration of a base profile (such as adding addition item modifiers or overriding others set in the base profile). They are aimed at mod developers who want to provide different item or entity settings for base profiles (for example by changing damage values for the 1.8 Combat profile on custom items to compensate for the lack of any Attack Cooldown as a balancing measure). See Mod developers for more information.
