Many people dislike the 1.9+ combat mechanics with attack cooldown, but enjoy other changes to the game. This datapack modifies the combat mechanics back to 1.8 so that there is no attack cooldown and weapon attack damage values.



Short video demonstrating the datapack

This datapack has 3 main presets:

• 1.9+ (unmodded Minecraft default): Attack cooldown enabled, no weapon attack damage modifications, netherite gear enabled
• 1.8 with Netherite (this datapack's default): Attack cooldown disabled, weapon attack damage modifications, netherite gear enabled
• 1.8 without Netherite: Attack cooldown disabled, weapon attack damage modifications, netherite gear disabled

The three presets can also be modified more specifically through 3 configurations:

• No Attack Cooldown (enabled by default): Removes the 1.9+ attack cooldown
• Weapon Attack Damage Modifications (enabled by default): Modifies attack damage of weapons to match 1.8 (example: 1.9 diamond axes deal 9 damage, 1.8 diamond axes deal 6)
• Enabling Netherite (enabled by default): When disabled, prevents you from holding or wearing netherite tools, weapons, and armor. You can still use netherite items like ingots and blocks when disabled. However, this option is off by default.

One more addition is an attack damage identifier, which shows how much damage you will deal when you hold a weapon or tool. Sometimes it doesn't match what the tooltip on the item says, but the GUI is always correct, even when the tooltip isn't. Players can toggle this by typing "/trigger lc_dmg_gui"
