BetterSurvival 1.4 — Sword & Board Update

The big one: you can finally block and attack at the same time.

New

• Attack while blocking. Hold a shield in your off-hand and swing your main-hand weapon at the same time — no more turtling in place. Works with any shield + any weapon (vanilla, this mod's, or other mods'), and it also gets along with Better Combat.
• Weapon allow/deny list. Don't want everything swinging through a shield? Pick which weapons can, by:
  • a whole category via item tags — e.g. #spartanweaponry:sabers for every sabre,
  • wildcards — e.g. bettersurvival:*nunchaku for all nunchaku,
  • or just one exact item.
    Blacklist or whitelist, your call.
• Guard Stamina (Elden Ring style). There's now a stamina bar above your hotbar. Blocking hits and attacking-while-blocking both drain it. Run dry and your guard breaks — shield drops, you get stunned for a moment, and you can't put it back up right away. Heavier shields and the Blocking Power enchant make you tankier. Fully configurable, and you can switch it off entirely.

Tweaks

• Retextured the Cursium / Ignitium / Living / Witherite weapon sets.
• Tuned the stamina defaults so it actually feels good (bigger bar, guard breaks a lot less easily, attacks cost less).

Config

• attackWhileBlocking — master switch for the whole feature (off = nothing changes).
• guardStaminaEnabled — turn just the stamina/guard-break part on or off.
• Costs, regen, break timing, HUD — all in the config, and it hot-reloads.
