This mod replaces the standard combat mechanics with a system that emphasizes timing, movement, and weapon variety, making every battle feel more intense and strategic. ### How It Works Epic Fight overhauls the way combat functions in Minecraft by introducing new animations, attack styles, and a dedicated combat mode. When combat mode is active, your character will perform different actions based on the type of weapon you're wielding, whether it’s a sword, axe, or even bare fists. ### Key Features - **Combat Mode Toggle (R)**: To switch between building and combat modes, simply press the `R` key. In combat mode, your character's movement and actions change to fit the more dynamic combat system. For instance, sprinting becomes a dodge roll, and standard attacks become combos and power strikes. - **Weapon-Specific Animations**: Each weapon type comes with its own set of animations and attack patterns. For example, wielding a sword allows you to perform quick slashes, while an axe delivers slower but more powerful strikes. The mod also supports shields, bows, and other weapons, each with its own unique combat style. ### Weapon Types The **Epic Fight** mod supports a wide variety of weapon types, each with unique animations and combat styles. The available weapon types in the modpack include: - Swords - Katanas - Tachis - Spears - Battlestaffs - Daggers - Axes - Greatswords - Shields - Tridents - Bows - Crossbows ### Mod Integration and Custom Support This modpack comes with full custom support for Epic Fight, seamlessly integrating it with every weapon in the game.
