Introduction
Adjusts the attack range calculation logic of the Better Combat mod to be compatible with the vanilla forge:entity_reach attribute, making the actual attack range fully respect and use the value of this attribute. Allows all mods that modify attack range through trinkets, potions, enchantments, or other means to work properly.
The original Better Combat mod, by design, completely overrides Minecraft's attack range calculation logic, causing all other mods' functionality that adjusts attack range by modifying the forge:entity_reach attribute to fail. No matter how much attack range you increase through any means, the actual attack range will be forcibly fixed to the weapon's default value by Better Combat. This mod changes this behavior, returning attack range calculation to the vanilla attribute system.
Configuration:
Default mode – Preserves weapon attack range differences (e.g., spear > sword) and stacks reach bonuses from all sources.
Alternative mode – All weapons use the same entity_reach value, ignoring inherent weapon differences.
You can switch modes in the configuration file: config/better_combat_reach_fix-common.toml
