About this project

What does Parry and Headshot add?

This mod adds parry, headshot, leg damage dash and more to Minecraft.

Key binds can be edited in-game settings.

Each abilities can indivisually turned on and off in the config.

Parry: Press Q(default). 0.2 seconds of I-frame. Cooldown 2 seconds. When succeeded, there will be no cooldown.

When you successfully parry, you receive attack damage buff, heal, regeneration and mobility buff. Basically, you can fly(you can dash and jump mid-air at this state). You also receive arrows, and your equipments (armor and items in your hands) gets repaired as well. All these buff effects will be cleared when you fail to parry and receive damage.

You can parry any damage, but if the damage is not a mob's attack, the amount and types of buff effects you receive will be reduced.

Headshot: Top 20% of all mobs' hitboxes are judged as heads. Including any modded mobs. Successfull headshots will deal extra damage, including percentage damage which bypasses any resistance and protection.

Leg damage: Bottom 40% of all mobs' hitboxes are judged as legs. Including any modded mobs. Successfull attacks to legs will apply slowness (Levels depends on the amount of damage) but deal less damage.

Melee attack: Headshot and Leg shot can be triggered by melee attacks as well.

Dash: Press Left Shift(default). It does not have I-frame.

Set spawn anywhere: By right-clicking a block while shifting and with both hand slots empty, you can set your spawn point in any vanilla dimension. However, this causes a bug when you set your spawn point in the end dimension that you cannot return to the overworld, so there is an emergency escape feature. By holding end stones in both hands, standing on an end stone and with an end stone placed just above your head, you can return to the overworld by right-clicking the floor.

Headshot and Leg damage does not only work for mobs but also works for players. Basically, the world is more dangerous.
