HELM

$attack

Walk to mobs and hit them. Available as $attack, with the aliases fight and hit.

$attack zombie
$attack zombie skeleton
$set attack.mode crit
$attack spider
$stop

Mobs only. Player names are refused by name, and the picker lists mobs alone, so a player cannot be targeted by accident.

Two ways to hit

attack.mode is spam or crit and can be switched at any time, including mid-attack.

spam throws a hit every attack.intervalMillis, two hundred milliseconds to start with. The game's own attack speed is four a second, so that default puts every hit at full strength.

crit jumps at the mob and throws a single hit part way down, which the game counts as a critical hit for half again the damage. Crit mode needs room: it will not stand, and will not stop walking, anywhere without three blocks of air above it, and pathing goes and finds somewhere it can jump from.

Fighting at a sensible distance

Distances are measured horizontally, so being above or below a mob does not count against you. Two separate numbers, because using one for both means a mob that shuffles is close enough to stop walking but too far to hit:

attack.radius is quietly capped at the hit distance, because a wider radius than the reach would park HELM somewhere it provably cannot hit from.

Seeing and keeping what you kill

The mob being hit is drawn with a glowing red outline, so it is obvious which one in a herd is next. When a mob dies, whatever it dropped is walked over and picked up before the next one is engaged.

Everything added

28 settings under attack, and one colour under outline:

Also changed

• $set attack.mode now offers both spam and crit instead of only the current value, and filters as you type.
• Typing $attack opens a mobs-only picker. It previously showed the macro keyword list.
• $stop reports Attacking stopped.
• $attack ends $follow, $farm, $mine, $goto, $autogoto, $autolookat and macros, and is ended by them and by leaving the world.
