About this project

What does Legacy Sword add?

Like the old times...

legacy_sword_banner
This datapack restores the classic pre-1.9 combat style by removing the attack cooldown only for swords. It brings back the fast, spam-click gameplay that many players loved in older versions of Minecraft, while keeping the rest of the combat system unchanged.

Only swords are affected: axes, tools, tridents, or any other weapon keep their normal cooldown and default attack behavior. This makes the gameplay feel more balanced and faithful to the original system without modifying the entire combat mechanics.

The datapack is lightweight, fully vanilla-compatible, and works without any mod or resource pack. Simply drop it into your world’s datapacks folder and enjoy the classic PvP experience again!

⚠ WARNING ⚠

  • For the Fabric version FabricAPI is needed.
