Many players stick with older versions for the old combat, which makes PvP more interesting and skill dependent. But thanks to the Old Combat mod, the system from version 1.8.9 is also available on the newest versions. It brings back the old way swords worked, where they could be swung without a cooldown. The mod can work in a single game, but it is most in-demand online. For proper functionality, it must be installed both on the server and on the client.
How to install Old Combat mod
- Make sure you have installed Minecraft Forge.
- Download the mod for your version of the game.
- Put it in the ‘mods’ folder, which is located in the game folder.
