Epic Fight Mod Wiki

Epic Fight Mod completely replaces the vanilla Minecraft combat system with a dynamic, animation-based engine. It introduces a 'Combat Mode' that changes how players move, attack, and interact with enemies. The mod is designed to provide a 'soulslike' experience where timing, stamina management, and weapon choice are critical to survival.

Combat Mode

Players can toggle between Mining Mode (Vanilla) and Combat Mode by pressing the 'R' key (default).

• Mining Mode: Standard Minecraft behavior for building and gathering.
• Combat Mode: Enables custom animations, weapon-specific movesets, and the ability to use skills. In this mode, the player's model changes to a more flexible 3D version capable of complex movements.

The mod introduces several core attributes and systems that govern every encounter.

Stamina and Posture

• Stamina: Displayed as a bar in the bottom-right. Stamina is consumed by dodging, sprinting, and using certain skills. If stamina is depleted, the player cannot dodge or perform special moves.
• Posture (Impact/Stun): Every entity has a hidden posture meter. Taking hits increases stun. When the meter is full, the entity is momentarily incapacitated (stunned). Heavier weapons deal more 'Impact,' making it easier to break an enemy's posture.

Weapon Attributes

Skills are learned using Skill Books found in dungeon chests or dropped by mobs. They are categorized into four main types.

Dodge Skills

Used to avoid damage with 'I-frames' (invincibility frames).

• Roll: A long-distance dodge that consumes 4 stamina. Provides high invulnerability.
• Step: A quick, short-distance dash consuming 3 stamina. Faster than rolling but covers less ground.

Guard Skills

Used to mitigate incoming damage.

• Guard: Basic blocking that consumes stamina instead of health. Effectiveness depends on the weapon's block rating.
• Parrying: A high-skill move. If timed perfectly against an attack, it negates all damage and deals massive posture damage to the attacker.
• Impact Guard: Reduces stamina consumption while guarding and allows blocking of explosions and magic.

Passive Skills

Automatically active once learned and equipped.

• Technician: Reduces stamina cost for dodging.
• Berserker: Increases damage as the player's health decreases.
• Sword Master: Increases attack speed with sword-type weapons.
• Stamina Pillager: Grants a small amount of stamina back upon killing an enemy.
• Hyper Vitality: Increases natural stamina regeneration speed.

Mobility & Revelation Skills

• Demolition Leap: A high jump that deals damage upon landing.
• Phantom Ascent: Allows for a mid-air dash or double-jump-like maneuver.
• Meteor Slam: A powerful plunging attack from height.

Epic Fight adds several new weapon classes, each with unique animations and special attacks. Vanilla weapons (Swords, Axes) are also patched with new movesets.

Weapon Types and Stats

Special Attack Gauge

Dealing damage builds up the Special Attack Gauge. Once full, players can press the 'X' key (default) to unleash the weapon's unique special move.

The mod fundamentally changes how hostile mobs behave, giving them their own versions of the Epic Fight combat system.

Enhanced Entities

• Zombies: Use telegraphed swings and can perform a lunging grab.
• Skeletons: Will switch to a melee dagger if the player gets too close. Their bow shots are now projectile-based and can be dodged or parried.
• Creepers: Instead of simply exploding, they may charge at the player before detonating.
• Endermen: Extremely dangerous. They use teleportation to get behind the player and perform rapid multi-hit combos.
• Wither Skeletons: Equipped with Greatsword-style AI, using heavy sweeping attacks that can stun the player.
• Iron Golems: Possess massive Impact; their attacks will break a player's guard almost instantly.

Mob Drops (Skill Books)

Hostile mobs have a chance to drop specific Skill Books upon death:

• Husk: Guard, Berserker, Endurance.
• Wither Skeleton: Death Harvest, Stamina Pillager.
• Skeleton/Stray: Technician, Sword Master, Emergency Escape.
• Enderman: Parrying, Forbidden Strength, Phantom Ascent.
• Creeper: Impact Guard, Hyper Vitality.

Most Epic Fight weapons are crafted using standard vanilla materials (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) in the same patterns as vanilla tools but with slight variations.

Key Items

• Skill Book: The primary way to learn new moves. Found in loot chests (Dungeons, Strongholds, Bastions) or as rare mob drops.
• Uchigatana: A high-tier Katana that can be found in specialized loot tables or crafted with a specific recipe involving iron and a soul-like essence.
• Stray Hat/Robe: Specialized armor sets that provide low weight and high stamina regeneration, ideal for 'dexterity' builds.

The mod is highly configurable via the in-game config menu or the epicfight-client.toml and epicfight-server.toml files.

Default Keybinds

• R: Toggle Combat Mode
• Left Alt: Dodge (Roll/Step)
• X: Special Attack
• P: Show Weapon Tooltip (detailed stats)
• K: Open Skill Book / Skill Tree (if addon is installed)

Technical Configuration

Server owners can adjust stamina consumption rates, stun durations, and whether certain mobs are 'patched' with the new AI. Datapacks can be used to add Epic Fight support to weapons and armors from other mods.
