1.8 PvP

Added in v1.0.1

Since 1.9, you have to wait for the attack bar to recharge between hits. Lots of players loved it, others missed good old spam clicking. With the oldcombat gamerule, you pick your side.

/gamerule oldcombat true

It's off by default, so vanilla combat doesn't change until you turn it on. It's also synced to players when they join.

What changes

No more cooldown

You click as fast as you can, and every click hits. The mod removes the attack cooldown by giving players a huge attack speed bonus.

Sword blocking

Right-click with a sword to block: you take 50% less damage, but you move slower while blocking. A good time to take an arrow, or avoid a finishing blow.

Stacking knockback

The more hits a player lands in a row on the same opponent, the farther that opponent gets knocked back. A well-placed combo sends them flying, and the bonus stops growing after a certain number of hits. If the victim isn't hit for 2 seconds, the combo resets. Dying or logging out also resets it.
