Malfu Combat Animation 3.1-1.21.1++mod targets 1.21.1, 1.21.4 with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 4 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Malfu Combat Animation required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Malfu Combat Animation 3.1-1.21.1++mod need?
3.1-1.21.1++mod. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Better Combat, playerAnimator, Fabric API, Cloth Config API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 4 come through another mod in the chain.
4 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Malfu Combat Animation add?

Hello there everyone!
I modify default Better Combat weapon_attributes, and add some of my custom animation!
so far i've changed weapon_attributes and added animation for Axe, BattleStaff, Claymore, Claw Cutlass, Dagger, Doubleaxe, Fist, Halberd, Hammer, Mace, Rapier, and Sword.
DATAPACK AND RESOURCEPACK REQUIRED. Use Paxi or OpenLoader to load both DP and RP.
Mods is made from a package feature from modrinth. Sometimes the load order is wrong, causing the animation to not play properly. Paxi or Openloader work most of the time.
Player Invalid? use Packet Fixer mod
Turn out, modrinth has a generator to make datapack to whatever loader i want. Cool!
