Right click on the modID folder and add a folder called weapon_attributes

Right Click that folder and click add JSON file

Name the JSON file with the weapon ID you'd like to customize - ensure each capital letter/space in the element name is separated by an underscore

json file naming

 

Within the JSON file, type the following, substituting one of the aforementioned presets into the <preset> placeholder:

{
  "parent": "bettercombat:<preset>"
}

Save the JSON file, and everything should be ready!

Is there any way to make custom animations for weapons? I watched a lot of tutorials but I don't understand English or other languages ​​of the tutorials or of MCreator itself well, I've tried a lot of things and made my own animations and uploaded them to MCreator but nothing, it only worked by putting the name of the weapon set as katana or dagger, etc. but not with my own animations. Thanks for reading

It would be great to see a separate tab "additional weapon properties", where you could select an item and set it the type of weapon, attack range, etc.

Hi, no matter how hard I try, I can't change the attack distance, could you help me here is the code itself:
{
"parent": "sins:custom/diana_hammer",
"attributes": {
"attack_range": "4"
},
"textures": {
"2": "sins:block/diana",
"particle": "sins:item/diana"
}
}

{
"parent": "sins:custom/diana_hammer",
"attributes": {
"attack_range": 4
},
"textures": {
"2": "sins:block/diana",
"particle": "sins:item/diana"
}
}
I changed the 4 to a digit and it didn't work either

Is there a way to extend reach on items? It looks... slightly strange to have a hammer or such that reaches like 7 blocks a away visually, but only can attack around the couple block directly in front of it.

Hey, I'm having trouble making a weapon with the Double Axe preset using the 'complex method' and i tried using "bettercombat:double_axe", "bettercombat:doubleaxe" and "bettercombat:DoubleAxe" with the element locked and unlocked, what am i doing wrong here?

Won’t naming the item one of those weapon types ruin the name for when you do /give in Minecraft because the name of the registry name isn’t correct.
