Epic Fight Combat

Epic Fight is the combat mod at the heart of Soulrend. It replaces Minecraft’s click-to-swing fighting with animated movesets: every weapon has combos, dash and jump attacks, a guard and a special move, and players dodge, guard and parry with stamina. Add-ons such as Weapons of Miracles, EpicFight Nightfall and Epic Fight Extra add more movesets and skills, and Soulrend’s own datapack assigns them to the pack’s weapons.

Epic Fight has a battle mode and a mining mode. Its toggle key is unbound in Soulrend; set it in Controls to switch to mining mode, where the left mouse button breaks blocks normally.
