Malfu Combat Animation Resource Pack: Installation and Load Order

Getting the Animations to Work

Malfu Combat Animation is a resource pack built for Better Combat. It swaps the default attack motions for new battle moves across many melee weapon types, and it also adjusts weapon attributes so each swing's timing and flow match its animation.

The pack does not work alone. A companion data pack links every swing to the correct weapon category, so both must be present for animations to display properly. Because the resource pack and data pack need to load in the right order, asset management mods such as Paxi and OpenLoader are useful for controlling that order and keeping the pack compatible with custom modpacks.

Once loaded correctly, close-quarters fights take on a distinct visual style, with different strike animations for the weapon classes Better Combat supports. If animations look wrong or fall back to defaults, check that the companion data pack is enabled and that load order is set through your asset manager.
