Combat Nouveau Mod Guide

Customizing Combat in Combat Nouveau

Combat Nouveau brings experimental combat snapshot ideas into your game, with every feature toggleable in the in-game config menu.

Key mechanics include:

• Hotbar switching no longer triggers attack cooldown, so swapping weapons mid-fight stays fluid.
• Missed swings don't reset cooldown (off by default).
• Uncharged attacks can be disabled entirely for cleaner combat.
• Hold-to-attack allows continuous attacking (off by default).
• Extended reach for swords, hoes, and tridents.
• Larger hitboxes for small mobs like fish, rabbits, silverfish, and babies.
• Shield knockback fix so shields properly push attackers back.
• Improved stack sizes for snowballs, eggs, and potions.
• Faster drinking for potions, milk, and bottled fluids.

Open the config menu to enable or disable any of these. Defaults keep the mod close to vanilla, so opt in to the changes you want.
