Summary
Enables Better Combat attack mechanics and animations for CustomNPCs on NeoForge 1.21.1.
CNPC-BetterCombat
CNPC-BetterCombat is a compatibility addon that integrates CustomNPCs with Better Combat, allowing NPCs to use Better Combat's combat system instead of the default CustomNPCs melee behavior.
NPCs can perform Better Combat attacks, use compatible weapon animations, and benefit from Better Combat's attack mechanics, making combat feel much smoother and more immersive.
Features
- Replaces the default CustomNPCs melee attack system with Better Combat.
- Supports Better Combat combat animations.
- NPC attack speed is affected by both:
- Better Combat weapon attack speed.
- CustomNPCs' native Melee Delay setting.
- Designed for NeoForge 1.21.1.
Why was this mod created?
After CustomNPCs was ported to NeoForge 1.21.1, NPCs could no longer properly use Better Combat. At the same time, the compatibility addon available for Forge 1.20.1 stopped receiving updates.
CNPC-BetterCombat was created to fill that gap and bring Better Combat support back to modern versions of CustomNPCs.
The original reason was actually very simple: one of my friends wanted this feature. After finishing it, I decided to release it publicly so everyone can enjoy Better Combat with CustomNPCs again.
Supported Version
Current
- NeoForge 1.21.1

概述
让 NeoForge 1.21.1 的 CustomNPCs 支持 Better Combat 的战斗机制与战斗动画。
CNPC-BetterCombat
CNPC-BetterCombat 是一个 CustomNPCs 与 Better Combat 的兼容模组,它让 NPC 不再使用原版 CustomNPCs 的近战攻击方式,而是使用 Better Combat 的战斗系统。
NPC 可以使用 Better Combat 的攻击机制,并播放兼容 Better Combat 的武器战斗动画,使战斗体验更加流畅、自然。
功能
- 使用 Better Combat 替换 CustomNPCs 默认近战攻击系统。
- 支持 Better Combat 战斗动画。
- NPC 的攻击速度同时受到以下两项影响:
- Better Combat 武器攻速。
- CustomNPCs 原生 Melee Delay 设置。
- 当前支持 NeoForge 1.21.1。
为什么制作这个 Mod?
当 CustomNPCs 移植到 NeoForge 1.21.1 后,NPC 已无法正常使用 Better Combat 战斗。
与此同时,Forge 1.20.1 上对应的 Better Combat 兼容 Mod 也已经停止维护。
CNPC-BetterCombat 的目标就是填补这一空缺,让现代版本的 CustomNPCs 再次拥有 Better Combat 的战斗体验。
当然,最初制作它的原因其实很简单——因为我的朋友想要这个功能。既然已经完成了,那就顺便公开发布,希望更多玩家能够享受到 Better Combat 与 CustomNPCs 的结合。
支持版本
当前
- NeoForge 1.21.1
