[MCPE 1.21+] RR Java Combat V2: Sweeping Edge, Blood Effects & Physics (Script API)

For over a decade, Minecraft Bedrock Edition players have felt a distinct disadvantage compared to their Java Edition counterparts. The combat system on mobile and console feels "floaty" and lacks impact. In Java Edition, a single swing of a sword can clear a crowd of zombies, particles fly everywhere, and critical hits feel powerful. In Bedrock? You just spam-click until your finger hurts.

It is time to level the playing field. I am thrilled to present the RR Java Combat Addon (Version 1.2 Update). This is a massive overhaul that rewrites the combat mechanics using the Minecraft Script API. We aren't just changing textures here; we are changing the physics of how your sword interacts with the world.

In this detailed changelog and guide, I will walk you through the new Sweeping Edge physics, the visceral Blood Particle system, and how you can unlock the advanced "Pro Settings" to customize your PvP experience.

Version 1.2: What Changed?

This update focuses on stability and visual feedback. Previous versions relied on experimental features that often broke with game updates. Version 1.2 has been rewritten from the ground up.

• Optimized Particle Engine: Blood particles now spawn using less memory, reducing lag on low-end devices during intense mob fights.
• Smart Hitbox Detection: The "Sweep" mechanic no longer hits armor stands, paintings, or item frames. It intelligently targets only hostile mobs and players.
• New Settings Panel: We have removed the chat-based commands and replaced them with a clean UI panel accessible via items.
• Audio Feedback: Added crisp "Swoosh" and "Impact" sounds that play when you successfully land a sweep attack.

Core Mechanics Explained

Let's dive deep into the three pillars of this combat overhaul.

1. The Sweeping Edge Logic

In vanilla Bedrock, swords deal single-target damage. If you are cornered by 10 zombies, you have to hit them 10 times individually. With RR Java Combat, the script calculates a "Sweep Arc" in front of the player.

When you strike a primary target, the addon scans for other entities within a 2.5 to 3.5 block radius (depending on the sword tier). It then applies a percentage of your weapon's damage to all of them instantly, along with a knockback impulse. This makes XP farms and dungeon clearing significantly faster and more satisfying.

2. Visceral Blood Particles

Feedback is crucial in combat. You need to know when your hit connects. We have added a dynamic particle system that generates "Blood" (Redstone-style particles) at the point of impact. The more damage you deal, the more intense the effect. Critical hits generate an explosion of particles, letting you know you landed a perfect strike.

3. Damage Indicators & UI

Gone are the days of guessing a mob's health. The Action Bar (located above your hotbar) now displays real-time combat data. Upon hitting an enemy, you will see:

• Enemy Health: Exact HP remaining.
• Damage Dealt: How much damage your hit caused.
• Sweep Count: How many extra enemies were hit by the sweep.
• Crit Status: A "CRITICAL!" text pops up if you land a jump attack.

Visual Interface Gallery

Here is a look at the new UI panels and in-game visuals included in the Version 1.2 update.

Free vs Pro Mode

The addon is completely free to use for basic survival. However, for PvP servers or advanced users, we offer a "Pro Mode" that allows you to tweak the internal values of the script.

Feature	Free Version	Pro Version
Sweeping Edge	Enabled (Fixed Range)	Custom Range (2-5 Blocks)
Damage Output	Standard (Vanilla)	Adjustable (10%-100% Sweep Dmg)
Particle Effects	Always ON	Toggle ON/OFF (Lag Reduction)
PvP Mechanics	Standard	Disable Sweep on Players (Friendly Fire)

How to Unlock Pro Settings

To access the Pro Settings Panel, you do not need to pay money. You simply need the Authentication Key. This mechanism prevents accidental setting changes by unauthorized players on your world.

Unlock Instructions:

1. Get a Name Tag in your hand.
2. Crouch (Sneak) and Use Item (Long Press).
3. A menu will appear asking for the Key.
4. Tap the hidden box below to reveal your Pro Key:

Copy the code RJC-5541-PRO and enter it into the game menu. You will receive a "PRO MODE UNLOCKED" notification, giving you full control over the combat physics.

Installation Guide

This addon modifies core game mechanics, so it requires specific experimental settings to function.

1. Download the updated .mcpack file from the link below.
2. Open the file to import it into Minecraft.
3. Go to your World Settings -> Experiments.
4. IMPORTANT: Turn ON "Beta APIs". The script will not load without this.
5. Activate the Behavior Pack and start your world.

Download Section

This version (1.2) fixes the API errors found in previous releases and is compatible with Minecraft Bedrock 1.21+.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this work on Servers?
Yes, it is fully compatible with multiplayer. However, all players must download the resource pack (if prompted) when joining, although this is primarily a Behavior Pack.

2. Can I use this with custom weapons?
The Sweeping Edge logic looks for items with the "sword" category in their ID. Most custom addon swords should work, provided they follow standard naming conventions.

3. Why aren't particles showing up?
Check your video settings. Ensure "Particles" are not set to "Minimal". Also, verify that the Behavior Pack is active and "Beta APIs" are enabled in world settings.

4. Is the Pro Key permanent?
Yes. Once you enter the key in a specific world, that world remains unlocked forever. You do not need to re-enter it every time you play.
