About this project

What does Custom Combat Rules add?

Custom Combat Rules is a custom server-side combat utility mod created for the Bes Kardes Minecraft server. It expands and adjusts combat mechanics, primarily around Epic Fight and other combat-related mods, to provide a more controlled and balanced PvP experience.

Features

The mod introduces custom combat rules and interactions that are not available through the base mods alone. Current features include:

  • Custom stamina costs for combat actions: Certain actions, such as sprinting attacks, consume stamina to make powerful or aggressive movement more costly and tactical.
  • Accurate hit detection: Custom effects are triggered only when an attack actually deals damage. Blocked or dodged attacks do not incorrectly activate hit-based mechanics.
  • Weapon-specific combat mechanics: Individual weapons can have unique effects and rules. For example, some weapons can apply stacking effects after successfully hitting an opponent multiple times.
  • PvP-focused balancing: Combat behavior can be customized independently from the default behavior of Epic Fight and its addons, allowing weapons and abilities to be balanced specifically for the server.

How does it affect gameplay?

Bes Kardes Arena makes combat more tactical by giving actions and weapons additional costs, conditions, and consequences.

Players need to manage their stamina instead of repeatedly using powerful movement attacks without consequence. Blocking, dodging, successful hits, and weapon-specific abilities are distinguished from one another, allowing combat mechanics to react more accurately to what actually happens during a fight.

The project is primarily designed for use on the Bes Kardes server and contains mechanics specifically developed for its PvP combat system. More combat rules and integrations may be added as the server continues to develop.
