🗡 Features
Fancy attack animations
This mod includes several one-handed, two-handed and dual wielded attack animation resources.
Accurate weapon collision detection
No more pixel hunting with your cursor, you can now just swing your weapon and hit whatever is in the way. Enjoy playing in third person view. :)
Natural look and feel
Attacks have an upswing phase before the hit is actually performed, like in real life.
Weapon combos
Some weapons have a sequence of different attacks.
Dual wielding
Dual wield any one handed weapons! Use the attack hotkey to alternately attack with main-hand and off-hand.
Reworked Sweeping Edge
Weapon swing hitting multiple enemies deal reduced damage. To deal full weapon damage against all targets, you need to have Sweeping Edge enchantment.
Hold to attack
Hold the attack hotkey to spam attacks on cooldown (configurable).
Swing thru grass
Attack instead of mining zero hardness blocks (configurable).
Support any item from any mod (with data files)
Automatic compatibility with most mods (weapons without attribute file, will be automatically assigned a matching weapon preset, based on item id).
Super easy to add dedicated compatibility, support via Discord for partnering modders.
🔨 Add compatibility to any weapon
Add uniquely created or out of the box behaviour to any weapon from any mod, by just creating JSON data files.
Check out our integration guide here.
🔧 Configuration
Client side settings can be accessed via the Mod Menu.
Server side config can be found at:
- General properties: config/bettercombat/server.conf
- Fallback compatibility: config/bettercombat/fallback_config.conf
Automatically created with default values, upon loading any game world for the first time.
⛓ Compatibility
With an open source and modular mindset, this project is aiming for maximal compatibility. However, mods trying to change the same mechanics will never be compatible (such as dual wielding mods).
🤝 Partnerships
We partnered up with the following mods, to fully utilise the JSON API of Better Combat:
- MC Dungeons Weapons
- MCDoom
- MedievalWeapons
- Mythic Metals
- Simply Swords
- Spectrum
ABOUT THIS LISTING
This page describes Better Combat by ZsoltMolnarrr. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on Modrinth on 26 October 2026: https://modrinth.com/mod/better-combat
Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.
The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements
Game version
26.3
MOD LOADER
This release is built for Fabric. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.
GAME VERSION
Built for Minecraft 26.3. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.
THIS IS A LIBRARY
On its own it adds nothing you can see. It is here because other mods require it, and installing it is usually something another mod asked you to do.
DEPENDENCIES
Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.
Installation
1. Install Fabric for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.
2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.
4. Launch the game with the Fabric profile selected.
ON A SERVER
Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.
UPDATING
Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
This release downloads from cdn.modrinth.com, not from us, so
there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
Tell us if something is wrong — a file that will not work, content taken from
someone else, or anything that looks unsafe. Reports go to our review team, not
to the author.
