About
Combat Nouveau adapts features from Mojang’s Combat Tests and adds customizable changes to Minecraft’s combat and item use. Combat can be tuned so changing hotbar items does not trigger the attack cooldown, missed attacks can avoid triggering it, low-cooldown attacks can be disabled, and holding the attack button can repeat attacks; the latter two missed-hit and repeat options are disabled by default. Swords, hoes, and tridents gain extra attack reach while the usual reach remains unchanged, and small targets such as fish, rabbits, silverfish, and baby mobs receive larger hitboxes. Sweep attacks require Sweeping Edge, deal half their usual damage, and can occur even when an attack misses; shields knock attackers back, activate without their usual delay, cover a narrower 100-degree arc, and display a use indicator. Other changes include larger stack sizes for snowballs, eggs, and potions, faster drinking of potions, milk, and bottled liquids, and a brief delay before throwing eggs or snowballs. Eating and drinking are interrupted by attacks, projectile hits no longer grant brief damage immunity, and hitting a target no longer stops sprinting, including while swimming. Players can also hide certain passively held offhand items, such as totems of undying. The mod is configurable, with available settings adjustable in-game where supported or through configuration files.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.31 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 24 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 24 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
AI was used for its text
The author declares AI text on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Declares AI text. No AI features declared.
