"September 30th 1998. it's a day i'll never forget. The cop inside of me died that day. I saw this sick new Minecraft mod that adds a Resident Evil inventory system and RE4 combat mechanics. The Merchant was included, with his voice lines and everything. You should definetly try it!"

☣️ Resident Evil 4 Remake: Combat, Attaché Case & Merchant Overhaul

Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) | Java 17

Transform Minecraft into an authentic Resident Evil 4 Remake survival-horror action experience. This overhaul replaces Minecraft's traditional HUD, inventory, chest storage, combat loop, and economy with faithful mechanics inspired by Resident Evil 4 (2023)—featuring the 2D Attaché Case, Knife Parrying, Roundhouse Kicks & Suplexes, The Merchant, the Pirate Shooting Range & Token Gacha, Over-the-Shoulder Third-Person Gunplay, and deep integration with TaCZ and Physics Mod.

🧳 2D Attaché Case & Chest Inventory System

Say goodbye to vanilla slot grids. Both the player and every storage chest in the world now use a spatial 2D Pegboard Grid Inventory:

• Multi-Cell Item Footprints & Rotation: Rifles (6x2), Shotguns (6x2), SMGs (4x2), Pistols (3x2), Knives (3x1), Grenades, Herbs, and Resources occupy realistic WxH compartments. Press [R] (or Right-Click while dragging) to rotate items 90° to fit tight spaces.
• Drag-and-Drop Combining:
  • Medical Herbs: Combine Green + Green, Green + Red, Green + Yellow, or Green + Red + Yellow Herbs directly in the grid—Yellow Herb mixtures permanently expand your maximum health gauge!
  • Field Ammunition Crafting: Combine Gunpowder (RE4) with Resources (S) or Resources (L) to craft TaCZ Handgun, SMG, Shotgun, Rifle, or Magnum ammunition on the fly.
  • TaCZ Weapon Attachments: Drag or combine compatible TaCZ Scopes & Accessories directly onto your firearms inside the Attaché Case, or right-click to Un-combine them at any time.
  • Knife Maintenance: Combine a damaged or broken Combat Knife with Resources or Iron to restore its blade.
• RE4 Chest Storage Overhaul: Opening any Chest, Large Chest, Barrel, Ender Chest, or Shulker Box opens a dual-grid screen with the Chest's 2D grid on the left and your Attaché Case on the right. Chests obey the exact same spatial rules and capacity limits as your briefcase—drag items back and forth, rotate them to fit, or [Shift + Click] to quick-transfer.
• Auto-Sort & Quick-Slots: Press [Alt] to automatically organize your case by category and size, and press [1]–[8] to bind weapons and grenades to your RE4 Quick-Switch Weapon Wheel.
• 3D Hanging Case Charms: Equip up to 3 Attaché Case Charms that visibly hang from the bottom-left of your briefcase and grant passive combat, crafting, stealth, and Merchant discounts.

🔪 Tactical Combat: Parries, Kicks, Suplexes & Stealth Kills

• Knife Parry System ([V]):
  • Time your [V] parry just as an enemy attack or projectile is about to land—even while holding a firearm!
  • Perfect Parries deflect all damage, send out a metallic spark shockwave, and immediately stagger the attacker.
• Targeted Limb Stagger & Melee Finishers ([F]):
  • Shooting enemies in the head triggers a blind/face-clutch stagger; shooting enemies in the legs drops them to their knees.
  • Approach any staggered enemy and press [F] to unleash:
    • Straight Kick: A fast, snappy left-foot front kick that automatically sprints Leon forward into range if pressed from a short distance away.
    • Roundhouse Kick: A cinematic 360° spinning roundhouse kick that blasts the target and surrounding enemies backward.
    • Close-Range Suplex: Grab knee-staggered enemies from behind and arch backward to slam them headfirst into the ground!
• Stealth Knife Takedowns ([F]):
  • Sneaking reduces enemy detection cones so you can creep up behind unsuspecting monsters.
  • Press [F] behind an enemy for a cinematic Stealth Throat-Swipe Takedown with a dedicated frontal action camera.
• Split-Second Fatal Hit "Dodge!" Prompt:
  • When a lethal blow is about to connect, a split-second [Space] Dodge! prompt flashes on screen—hit it in time to perform an evasive combat dive roll away from danger (100-second hidden cooldown).

🎥 Over-the-Shoulder Camera, HUD & Animations

• RE4 Third-Person Shoulder Camera:
  • Dynamic right-shoulder camera offset with smooth zoom-in when aiming down sights.
  • Seamless Scope Aiming: Right-clicking a firearm equipped with a TaCZ Scope smoothly transitions into First-Person optic view and hides the third-person crosshair, returning to Third-Person the moment you release right-click.
  • True Crosshair Bullet Convergence: Firearm projectiles align directly with the third-person center-screen reticle for dead-on accuracy at all ranges.
• Classic RE4 Health & Digital Ammo Gauge:
  • Replaces vanilla hearts and hunger with the iconic segmented green/yellow/red circular health arc and 7-segment digital ammo counter in the bottom-right corner.
  • No Vanilla Hunger: Stamina stays locked at full so you can always sprint in combat, while natural regeneration is disabled—heal using Herbs and First Aid Sprays found naturally across the world and in chests.
• 3D Weapon Holsters & Custom Animations:
  • Pistols visibly rest in a hip holster, Combat Knives sit in a leg sheath, and Rifles/Shotguns sling across Leon's back with custom draw/stow animations.
  • Custom two-handed pistol grip and bent-elbow aiming posture.
• Cinematic Death & Explosion Ragdoll System:
  • Features 10 unique player death animations and 12 custom monster death animations.
  • Touching the ground during a death animation—or getting hit by a lethal or non-lethal explosion—immediately transitions your character into a full 3D Physics Ragdoll!

🟣 The Merchant, Pirate Shooting Range & Token Gacha

• The Merchant:
  • Spawns naturally at outposts marked by purple Soul Lanterns as you explore the Overworld (or can be summoned once using the one-time Merchant's Purple Flame Torch).
  • Features iconic voice lines, an animated briefcase-unbuckling shop menu, and custom Merchant Shop Music.
  • Buy, Sell & Tune Up: Spend Pesetas (ptas.) dropped by slain monsters to purchase TaCZ firearms, attachments, Case Upgrades, grenades, and knife repairs, or sell excess gear directly from your Attaché Case.
• Pirate Shooting Range Minigame:
  • Collect Shooting Range Waivers from rare monster drops and speak to the Merchant under Minigames -> Pirate Shooting Range to teleport to a custom Pirate Shooting Gallery dimension!
  • Shoot moving Pirate Cutthroats, Captains, Dynamite Bombers, and Bonus Skull Medals while avoiding Friendly Sailors.
  • Includes periodic frozen-timer "RELOAD!" breaks where targets drop flat, plus Disco Fever Bonus Time with moving shader-compatible multi-colored stage lights and music!
  • Earn D through S+ Ranks, Pesetas, and Shooting Range Tokens on the final Results Screen.
• Token Gacha Machine:
  • Spend your Shooting Range Tokens at the Merchant's Minigames -> Token Gacha capsule machine!
  • Enjoy a full spinning capsule animation to win exclusive Attaché Case Charms (the only way to obtain Charms!), medical herbs, ammunition, or even firearms.
