Combat

Civ servers often change combat to pre-1.8 mechanics, make players tankier, and generally rebalance all combat-affecting items. The plugin that handles this is often Finale.

Changes

Specific changes will vary heavily from server to server. On CivClassic, the following changes to combat were implemented:

• Revert combat to pre-1.8 mechanics
• Dual wielding is enabled.
• Clicking at rate higher than 8.5 (?) CPS will decrease the overall damages dealt.
• Ender Pearls have a cooldown of 15 seconds (vs. 1s in vanilla).
• Ender Crystals do not inflict damage on the player but will still destroy surrounding blocks.
• Snowballs and eggs do no inflict damage nor knock players back but will slightly damage armor.
• Buff bows by 20%
• Enchanted golden apples turn to normal golden apples when eat attempted.
• Increases damage reduction granted by the Protection enchantment
• Nerfs the strength potion back to pre-1.5 mechanics
• tripled added damage from strength potion levels
• 30% chance projectile causes slow debuff for 100 ticks
