About this project

What does Strike After Swing add?

StrikeAfterSwing delays mob melee damage until the attack swing animation finishes.

In vanilla Minecraft, many mobs deal melee damage immediately when the attack starts, even though the swing animation is still playing. This mod changes that behavior so the damage lands at the end of the swing instead.

Features:

Delays non-player mob melee damage until the swing animation finishes
If the target moves out of range before the delayed hit lands, the attack is cancelled
Keeps player attacks unchanged
Makes melee combat timing feel more consistent with attack animations
Works through mixins with minimal gameplay changes beyond attack timing
