Old Combat Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on Old Combat Mod?
You can enable Old Combat Mod when creating a new world in the world creation screen, or use the mod toggle command in an existing world. Check your mod's configuration menu or in-game settings to find the exact command for your version.
Can I spam click with Old Combat Mod?
Yes, that's the core feature—you can click rapidly to hit enemies multiple times with no attack cooldown, just like pre-1.9 Minecraft. This works with any weapon and even while holding a shield in your off-hand.
Does Old Combat Mod work with shields?
Yes, you can hold a shield in your off-hand and still spam-click to attack with your main hand weapon at full speed with no cooldown.
What's the difference between Old Combat and the normal 1.9+ system?
Old Combat removes the attack cooldown (the delay between hits) and restores the rapid swing animation, letting you deal damage as fast as you can click instead of waiting for a cooldown meter to refill.
Can I disable Old Combat in just one world?
Yes, you can enable or disable the mod per-world using commands or the world creation screen, so you can have some worlds with old combat and others with modern combat.
Does Old Combat Mod affect my FPS or performance?
Old Combat Mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance issues, but performance depends on your overall modpack and hardware—test it in your world to be sure.
Will Old Combat Mod work with other combat mods?
Compatibility depends on which mods you're using; some combat mods may conflict with Old Combat Mod's mechanics, so test your modpack or check mod documentation if you're combining multiple combat-related mods.
Do critical hits work the same way in Old Combat?
Old Combat restores pre-1.9 swing mechanics, which affects how and when you can land critical hits—you'll need to jump and hit while falling, just like the old system.
Can I use Old Combat Mod on a multiplayer server?
Old Combat Mod is a client-side mod, so it only affects your own combat experience; other players on the server won't see your old combat mechanics unless they also have the mod installed.
What Minecraft versions does Old Combat Mod support?
Old Combat Mod is designed for modern versions of Minecraft (1.9 and later), but check the mod's download page for the specific versions it supports, as compatibility varies.
