Xmat5’s Weapon Compats Epic Fight Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why don't my modded weapons have animations?
Make sure the data pack is loaded in your world (check with `/datapack list`) and that you have Epic Fight's combat engine mods installed. Switch to combat mode by holding the attack button or using your configured combat toggle to see the animations activate.
Do I need to install anything else besides this data pack?
Yes, you need Epic Fight and its required combat engine addons installed as mods. This data pack only adds animations to weapons—it doesn't work without the base Epic Fight mod providing the combat system.
Can I use this with texture packs?
Yes, the data pack is designed to work alongside texture packs. If you're using a sword edge or weapon texture pack, the animations will display over your custom textures without conflicts.
What do I do if a weapon from a supported mod has no animation?
Check that the mod is in the supported list and that you're in combat mode. If animations still don't appear, try removing and re-adding the data pack to your world, or verify the mod version matches what the data pack supports.
How do combo moves work with these weapons?
Combo moves trigger automatically when you perform consecutive attacks in combat mode—keep attacking without pause to chain moves together. Different weapon types (swords, maces, bows) have different combo sequences.
Can I use this data pack with multiple weapon mods at once?
Yes, that's the main purpose of this data pack. As long as all your weapon mods are in the supported list, they'll all get animations and work together in the same combat system.
Do spellbooks and magic weapons work with this?
Yes, weapons from Iron's Spells and Spellbooks and Enigmatic Legacy have custom animations included. Equip them and switch to combat mode to see their specialized movesets.
Why is my game lagging after adding this data pack?
The data pack itself is lightweight, but running many weapon mods with Epic Fight animations can impact performance. Try reducing your render distance or disabling particle effects if you experience slowdowns.
Do bows work differently with this data pack?
Yes, supported bows from mods like Too Many Bows gain active combat animations instead of vanilla bow behavior. You'll see specialized draw and fire animations when using them in combat mode.
What happens if I remove the data pack mid-world?
Your weapons will revert to vanilla animations, but no data will be lost. You can re-add the data pack anytime and your modded weapons will have their animations back.
