Combat mode
Press B and your hands become weapons.
Turning it on
Press B to toggle combat mode. A message tells you Combat mode: on or off, and the combat block slides in at the bottom right of the screen.
In combat mode, left click strikes instead of mining, right click (held) raises your guard instead of using items, and Left Alt dodges. Turn it off to mine and build again.
How blows work
Every strike is a real animation whose blow lands at a set moment. Blows that land can make the target stagger: a short reel, a long one, a knockdown or a launch. Big foes such as golems barely reel. A staggered mob stands still; a staggered player loses the move they were playing.
On impact both bodies freeze for a few ticks (hit stop), with sparks, a camera shake and a white flash on heavy blows.
The mod's mobs fight with their own moves, and every one of their blows meets your guard, parry and dodges.
The combat block
At the bottom right, a pixel-art block shows your active art's name, your Qi as a jade bar notched every 10 Qi, up to six interlocked technique seals, each tagged with its key, and a gold octagon for the ultimate (key R). Techniques cannot be cast yet. The vanilla hotbar stays.
