Rapier — Precision Thrust & Sweet-Spot Combat [Vanilla+ 2D]

Master the art of fencing spacing in vanilla Minecraft! Rapier introduces craftable rapiers for all 7 tiers, meticulously styled in authentic 16x16 2D pixel art with crisp vanilla outlines to blend seamlessly into your survival world.

Unlike standard swords, the Rapier is a high-skill spacing weapon: hit your opponent at the exact tip sweet-spot for massive piercing criticals, but keep your distance or face punishing recoil stun!

✨ Features

• 🎯 Sweet-Spot Precision: Land thrusts at 2.30m–2.85m to deal massive 2.25x–2.5x piercing criticals with crisp metallic audio & thrust particles.
• ⚠️ Close-Range Recoil Penalty: Striking within 1.80m reduces damage to 1 and triggers a 1.25s full recoil stun (movement & swing freeze with knockback recoil).
• 🛡️ Right-Click Counter (Riposte): Right-click arms a ~0.75s counter window. While armed, movement/jump are locked (input permissions — no Slowness). If you take a melee hit in that window, damage is negated and you auto-deal a 1.5× sweet-spot riposte with knockback. Projectiles are not countered.
• ⏱️ 0.25s Native Item Cooldown: Attacks trigger native item cooldown overlay (similar to Ender Pearls), enforcing clean fencing rhythm.
• Counter use: 2s hotbar cooldown on a separate category (attack CD cannot shorten it).
• 💨 Sneak Quick Backstep: Attack while sneaking to perform an instant backward fencing retreat and re-establish optimal spacing.
• 🗡️ All 7 Material Tiers: Wood, Stone (Cobblestone/Deepslate/Blackstone), Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite (Smithing Table).
• ✨ Full Sword Enchantments: Fully compatible with Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, Fire Aspect, Looting, Unbreaking, and Mending.
• ⚙️ In-Game DDUI Settings: Run /rapier:settings to toggle combat mechanics, backstep, and view in-form credits.
• 🛡️ Zero Conflicts: Built purely on Script API without modifying player.json — 100% compatible with Actions & Stuff, animation packs, and custom armor!

❓ FAQ

• Q: Why does my attack deal only 1 damage?
  A: You are attacking too close (<1.80m). Step back to 2.30m–2.85m to trigger sweet-spot criticals.
• Q: Can I enchant Rapiers on an Enchanting Table or Anvil?
  A: Yes! All standard sword enchantments (Sharpness, Unbreaking, Mending, Fire Aspect, etc.) apply seamlessly.
