Sweep 'N Slash

Sweep 'N Slash: Bringing Classic Java Combat to Bedrock Edition

Sweep 'N Slash is a specialized add-on designed to bridge the gap between Minecraft Bedrock Edition and the beloved, tactical combat mechanics introduced in Java Edition's 1.9 Combat Update. By installing this add-on, you can transform your Bedrock combat experience into one that mirrors the precision and depth of the Java Edition style.

Technical Requirements and Compatibility

Before installation, please be aware that this add-on requires the Beta API to be enabled.

Additionally, a Gametest version is provided specifically to address compatibility issues with other add-ons, such as Understudy. However, please note that the Gametest version is not compatible with certain hosting services, including Aternos. If you are unsure about your specific environment or technical requirements, it is strongly recommended that you stick to the stable release.

Core Combat Mechanics

Sweep 'N Slash elevates your combat experience with several key modifications:

Sword Sweep Attacks and Shield Balance: This add-on implements the signature sweep attack for swords and removes shield knockback, ensuring that melee combat feels both balanced and strategic.

Java Edition Damage Calculation: The plugin rebuilds the damage calculation formula to perfectly emulate that of the Java Edition. For instance, when wielding a Netherite axe with Strength II, landing a critical hit, and utilizing Smite V against undead or arthropod mobs, players can achieve a precise, maximum damage output of 36.5.

Authentic Knockback Feel: While Bedrock Edition's inherent knockback mechanics differ significantly from Java's, this add-on utilizes custom mechanics to replicate the distinct Java Edition knockback behavior as closely as possible.

Saturation Healing: Accurately implemented saturation healing mechanics are introduced to replace the default system. Please note that enabling this feature forces the 'Natural Regeneration' gamerule to be turned off. Remember to re-enable it manually if you disable this feature. It is also advised against using this feature simultaneously with other saturation healing add-ons.

Customization and Visual Enhancements

The add-on offers extensive options to tailor the experience to your preferences, all accessible via the configuration menu:

Attack Indicator Styles: Choose the style that fits your UI perfectly, with options including Crosshair, Hotbar, and Geyser styles.

Customizable Sweep Particles: You can customize the color of your sweep attack particles, with effects synchronized for visibility to other players on the server.

Advanced Features and Deep Configuration

Beyond core mechanics, Sweep 'N Slash provides a suite of advanced configuration options:

Serverside Configuration: Enjoy the flexibility of toggling the add-on mid-game and utilizing Debug Mode via the 'sweepnslash.config' tag.

Fine-tuned Control: Includes options for Axe vs. Shield balance toggles, as well as saturation healing toggles restricted to operators.

Compatibility: Full support for Java Essentials' team mechanics, utilizing specific prefixes for team tags.

Gameplay Enhancements: Projectiles inherit the shooter's velocity for more realistic physics. Furthermore, the add-on includes features like PvP bow hit sounds, the ability to avoid hitting tamed pets during sweep attacks, and custom hit particles for enchantments like Sharpness, Smite (against undead), and Bane of Arthropods. Personal semi-clientside particle visibility toggles are also available to ensure the game feels exactly how you want it to.
