I really like naionyt's mod (https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/betterdaggers) and the additions to the dagger, but the tweaks to the stabbing mechanic are designed poorly, making it very difficult or nearly impossible to hit the 6 hit combo the mod adds anywhere besides tight spaces. I really ruined the mod for me cause the daggers we're now better for mobility but sucked as weapons.
I am neither a modder or know how to code besides printing "hello world", but this bothered me enough that I dug through the mod's folder, found the appropriate files, learned how to tweak .json files, and make a mod of my own from scratch that only tweaks the dagger mechanic without adding particles, and animations, and special moves.
