COForceMouseDirectionSelection
requires Overhaullib (only tested with 1.15.8, and by the looks of it won't work with newer versions) In Combat Overhaul mod, you can enable some settings that allow you to lock the attack direction in place using hotkeys. Doing this removes depth from PvP.

COForceMouseDirectionSelection 1.0.0 targets 1.21.0, 1.21.1-rc.1, 1.21.1-rc.2. It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 1 required mods have matching files.

About this project
What does COForceMouseDirectionSelection add?
requires Overhaullib (only tested with 1.15.8, and by the looks of it won't work with newer versions)
In Combat Overhaul mod, you can enable some settings that allow you to lock the attack direction in place using hotkeys.
Doing this removes depth from PvP.
This small patch ignores those settings, effectively forcing everyone to use their mouse to choose directions.
The mod also makes it so you cannot have a direction sensitivity lower than 0.05
