Better Combat [Fabric & Forge] for Minecraft

Review Better Combat [Fabric & Forge]

Better Combat

The Minecraft cubic world is not limited to building a house, going down mines, and extracting resources. The player also has to constantly fight mobs, overcome bosses, repel pillager attacks, protect villages, collect loot, build farms, and engage in PvP battles. All that require various types of weapons. However, the Minecraft combat system is slightly outdated, as it could not boast any special effects from the outset. That is why fans created a mod called Better Combat, which became one of the most popular options to improve the combat system and add cool effects and animation.

The Better Combat add-on implements several types of attack animations for both one-handed and two-handed weapons. They look much more spectacular, and it becomes more interesting to play Minecraft, as every fight now feels like a full-fledged knight simulator. Numerous effects, a reworked combat system, new types of attacks, nice graphics, and much more — all this is just a small portion of the features you get after installing this mod, which is included in many packs and has more than eleven million downloads.

Review of the Better Combat Mod

Enjoy a new combat system for Minecraft thanks to this mod. You will not want to return to the old mechanics anymore, as it brings many cool effects. And even if you do not capture videos or create other content, it is still more pleasant to play with such a mod, and you get used to this system quickly. It can boast really a lot of different options that will surely please you. We have tried to take screenshots for you, but it is still better to participate in any battle, whether with players or mobs, to appreciate everything yourself.

As the designers of Better Combat claim, you will not have to hunt pixels anymore. The player can safely swing their weapon and hit everything in their way. That ensures a more natural look of combat and creates the impression that you are indeed participating in a battle, feeling each of your blows and enjoying the desired result. As a result, playing with a third-person becomes much more pleasant. All the features of this add-on come down to the following:

Natural look and feel. As we have already noted, your every blow becomes more natural: you will not have to hunt pixels anymore, as you can just swing your weapon and inflict damage to opponents.

Uncommon attack animations. The Better Combat mod features several types of attack animations for Minecraft mobs and players for swords, bows, crossbows, and other weapons. Moreover, if you use this add-on together with other mods, you will also see all the animations.

Weapon combos. Some weapons have different types of combos, and you need to get used to such mechanics to crush your in-game opponents more effectively.

Dual wield mode for any weapon. If the player has a one-handed weapon in both hands, they will be able to attack alternately. Have you ever seen a person just running and waving his arms, trying to hit? You will see something like that, but more spectacular.

Two-handed weapons. If some weapon is two-handed, the player's off-hand slot will be disabled, as the weapon requires two hands, and you cannot use anything else. That is another elaborate mechanic that improves the gameplay in many respects and adds realism.

Reworked Sweeping Edge effect. The game will now feature a unique Sweeping Edge enchantment, which will allow you to inflict damage peculiar to your weapon on all targets nearby. Without this effect, your weapon will still cause reduced damage to several enemies.

Constant attack. The player can hold the attack hotkey to deal damage during cooldown.

The Better Combat mod is perfectly compatible with many other Minecraft add-ons, and if you decide to change the standard in-game combat system and enjoy new features, it is the most noteworthy option among all the others. It features intense battles, cool effects, and a reworked combat system that affects battles both against mobs and players. The Better Combat add-on is actively used on many servers and included in major popular game builds. So if you wish to really enjoy the gameplay, be sure to install this mod and write whether you like its mechanics and features in the comments below. For now, the mod is available for Minecraft 1.20.2.
