Addon Overview

This Java addon lets you craft the crowbar with Half‑Life–style animations and introduces the Headcrab entity for dynamic encounters during gameplay. The experience focuses on fast melee combat, resource management, and survival tension: caves, ruins, and labs become dangerous as Headcrabs ambush you, while the crowbar becomes both your weapon and utility tool.

How It Changes the Player’s Experience

Tactical melee combat: The crowbar isn’t just damage; its quick animations and short recovery allow chained strikes, box breaking, and tight‑space control. Players are encouraged to move, dodge, and time their hits.
Constant Headcrab threat: Headcrabs leap toward your head from low and high angles, forcing you to check corners and ceilings. Exploration becomes tense and unpredictable.
Exploration rhythm: Their sudden appearances create spikes of tension, alternating calm exploration with bursts of action.
Skill‑based progression: Mastering crowbar timing and reading Headcrab animations matters more than raw stats.
Resource economy: Breaking crates with the crowbar saves ammo, making loot and healing items more valuable.
Strong thematic identity: Half‑Life sounds, animations, and enemy behavior give the addon a coherent sci‑fi survival feel.
