[1.8/1.6.4][Forge] Xaero's Special Attacks 2.0.1

What does the mod add?

• Ability to charge any vanilla Minecraft weapons to give them special attacks.
  
• Specials attacks/effects for all charged weapons.
  
• Special energy bar above your hunger bar whenever there is a charged weapon in your hotbar.
  
• 2 categories of special attacks: special attacks and special effects.
  

Important information:

• To charge a weapon, simply surround it with 4 Crystals of Energy in a pattern shown in the image below. Please note that the weapon has to be completely unused.
  
• Charged weapons will also have increased durability. 100 more uses than the normal ones.
  
• To activate or disactivate a special attack press R and the next time you hit a target a special attack will execute. When activated, if you have enough energy the name of the special attack will go green, if not - yellow.
  
• Special effects will execute as soon as you press R.
  
• All special attacks/effects require special energy which can be restored by drinking Energy Potions.
  
• Energy Potions can be made by smelting Crystals of Energy and then combining Liquid Energy, which you get from smelting, with Glass Bottles. Crystals of Energy spawn exactly like diamonds but in bigger stacks.
  
• Your energy also regenerates at a rate of 5% every 15 seconds. This effect can be boosted with a Helmet Of Energy.
  
• Scroll down for crafting recipes and a list of all special attacks!
