Combat Utils

CombatUtils is a lightweight utility mod for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10 focused on fair PvP and server administration. It combines reliable combat logging protection with optional detection of repeated F3+A chunk reload abuse, helping server owners reduce common forms of unfair play without requiring invasive client modifications.

Features

Combat Logging Protection

• Tracks players while they are actively engaged in PvP.
• Detects players who disconnect during combat.
• Persists combat-log data across server restarts.
• Configurable punishment when combat-logged players rejoin.
• Reliable JSON-based persistence.

F3+A Abuse Detection

• Detects repeated use of Minecraft's F3+A chunk reload shortcut.
• Designed to discourage using repeated chunk reloads as a wallhack aid.
• Configurable detection threshold and time window.
• Multiple punishment modes:
  • Log only
  • Warn
  • Kick
  • Execute a custom server command
• Server-authoritative handling with configurable rate limiting.

Built for Dedicated Servers

• Server-side logging and enforcement.
• No unnecessary client-side punishment or abuse logs.
• Lightweight networking with minimal overhead.
• Compatible with Forge 1.7.10 using UniMixins.

Configuration

CombatUtils is highly configurable. Server owners can customize:

• Combat tag duration
• Combat log punishment
• F3+A detection thresholds
• Detection time window
• Punishment mode
• Custom kick messages
• Custom server commands
• Logging behavior

Dependencies

CombatUtils requires UniMixins to be installed on both the client and server.

CombatUtils uses UniMixins to provide reliable runtime patches and compatibility without relying on legacy ASM transformers. The mod will not function correctly if UniMixins is not installed.
