Frequently asked questions

How do I enable critical strikes instead of jump crits?
The mod automatically replaces vanilla jump critical hits with the chance-based system when installed—no configuration needed to start. Your sword swings and arrow shots will now roll for critical hits on every attack rather than requiring you to jump.
What's the difference between Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Damage?
Critical Hit Chance controls how often you land a critical strike (base 5%), while Critical Hit Damage determines how much extra damage each crit deals (base 50% bonus, or 1.5x multiplier). You can increase both separately through enchantments and status effects.
How do I stack critical chance bonuses?
Use the Critical Hit enchantment (up to level 5, adding 4% per level) on your weapons, drink Critical Hit Effect potions (5% per level), and adjust the base critical chance in the mod settings to combine all bonuses together.
Do critical strikes work on bows and crossbows?
Yes, ranged weapons trigger critical strikes just like melee weapons do. Every arrow or bolt shot has a chance to crit based on your total critical chance, and you'll see custom particles and hear distinct sound effects when they connect.
