# Cooldown Remover++ (Requires ProtocolLib)<\/p>\n
**Real 1.8 combat on modern Minecraft servers.** Vanilla cooldowns gone, the authentic 1.8 sword-blocking animation restored \u2014 on Paper, Spigot, and Folia. No resource pack, no item NBT ever touched.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## What is Cooldown Remover++<\/p>\n
Two features, zero baggage:<\/p>\n
1. **Remove vanilla cooldowns.** The weapon-cooldown visual is gone and attack speed is unlocked. Swing as fast as you want \u2014 pure 1.8 rhythm.
\n2. **Restore 1.8 sword blocking.** Hold right-click on a sword and the authentic 1.8 block pose plays \u2014 the same animation the 1.8 client drew, still bundled in every modern client. Incoming damage from players and mobs is reduced by a percentage you control.<\/p>\n
Your real swords in chests, ender chests, and player inventories stay byte-for-byte vanilla forever. Uninstall tomorrow and there’s nothing left behind.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Why server owners pick it<\/p>\n
– **Real 1.8 animation, no resource pack.** The authentic sword-block pose Mojang still ships in every modern client \u2014 not a shield-swap, not a texture-pack fake.
\n– **Zero item-NBT pollution.** Your real swords are never modified. No tagged items in chests, no legacy tooltips, no cleanup when you uninstall.
\n– **Precision damage reduction.** Dial blocking from `0` to `100` percent. Tune it to the meta your PvP scene actually wants.
\n– **Per-world control.** Enable in the arena, disable on survival. One config block.
\n– **Spans the 1.20 \u2192 26 line.** Paper and Spigot each get a tailored rendering path, automatically selected at startup. Same behavior both places, zero manual config.
\n– **Reload-safe.** `\/crpp reload` swaps the config live. `\/crpp toggle` disables features at runtime without a restart.
\n– **Plug-and-play.** Default config is tuned for classic 1.8 PvP \u2014 hold-to-block, 50% damage reduction, all worlds on. Useful on boot with zero edits.<\/p>\n

## Two features, cleanly separated<\/p>\n
### Cooldown removal<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\ncooldown-removal:
\n suppress-packets: true # disables the server’s cooldown system for items
\n boost-attack-speed: true # unlocks weapon swing delay
\n“`<\/p>\n
– `suppress-packets` \u2014 stops the server from applying any item cooldowns. Ender pearls, chorus fruit, shields, weapons \u2014 nothing cools down anymore.
\n– `boost-attack-speed` \u2014 removes weapon swing delay on join. Reset automatically on plugin disable, so players aren’t stuck with it if you uninstall.<\/p>\n
Both toggle independently.<\/p>\n
### Sword blocking<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\nsword-blocking:
\n enabled: true
\n reduction-percent: 50 # 0-100, damage absorbed while blocking
\n hold-based: true # hold right-click (1.8) or click-for-window?
\n window-ticks: 10 # if hold-based=false, the block window after click
\n cancel-interactions: false # block chest\/door opens while blocking (strict 1.8)
\n worlds:
\n enabled: [] # non-empty = whitelist
\n disabled: [] # otherwise blacklist
\n“`<\/p>\n
### Hold vs. window<\/p>\n
– **Hold-based (default).** Hold right-click to block. Release to stop. Mirrors 1.8 exactly.
\n– **Window-based.** One right-click opens a `window-ticks`-long damage-reduction window. Gives players forgiving block timing without the hold commitment.<\/p>\n
### `cancel-interactions`<\/p>\n
Off by default. Flip it on and right-clicking a chest while holding a sword won’t open the chest \u2014 the classic “I can’t open my own base while I’m PvP-ing” 1.8 behavior.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## How blocking looks on the client<\/p>\n
The real 1.8 pose. The sword tilts across the body, same animation Mojang still ships in the vanilla client. First-person and third-person render correctly. No shield, no arm-raise fake, no texture pack.<\/p>\n
The plugin auto-selects the best available rendering path for your server type at startup \u2014 Paper and Spigot each get a tailored implementation that produces the same visual. `\/crpp status` shows which path is active.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Commands<\/p>\n
| Command | Permission | Purpose | Tab completion is wired up for every subcommand, every world name, and every `on`\/`off` argument.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n ## Permissions<\/p>\n | Node | Default | Grants | Revoke `crpp.block` from specific groups if you want blocking gated behind donor ranks.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n ## Zero footprint by design<\/p>\n The whole plugin is architected around one rule: **never touch the real `ItemStack`.**<\/p>\n – The blocking visual is generated per-player, per-packet. The real item in the player’s inventory is never modified. Uninstall the plugin and every sword on your server is identical to before you installed it. No orphaned tags in chest inventories, no “I need to `\/clear` everyone” cleanup, no support tickets about weird tooltips three months after you tried it.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n ## Platform support<\/p>\n | Platform | Support | Notes | Earlier Minecraft versions aren’t supported \u2014 the 1.8 animation technique requires features introduced in the 1.20.5 client.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n ## Install<\/p>\n 1. Download the jar from the **Versions** page. The shipping config is tuned for classic 1.8 PvP out of the box \u2014 hold-to-block, 50% damage reduction, all worlds enabled, full cooldown removal. Join a fresh server, right-click a sword, and the animation plays on the first connection.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n ## Links<\/p>\n – **Discord** \u2014 discord.gg\/aJqqs2hYQJ Fully restores 1.8 PvP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":45782,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"cooldown-remover++","_minecraft_project_id":"7f6WcUTg","_minecraft_author":"Gluckz","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":706,"_minecraft_follows":3,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"cooldown-remover++.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":57449,"_minecraft_version_count":2,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T09:37:25.680763Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-09-05T23:27:36.747871Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-24T09:45:14.127814Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/cooldown-remover++","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":45782,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-02T07:01:55+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"f7ea491d35186f98e1a0511a504cf309","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[124,88,125,89,90,127,128,129,92],"mod_loader":[130,131,132,133,134],"minecraft_version":[59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-45781","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-bukkit","mod_category-equipment","mod_category-folia","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-optimization","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-spigot","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-bukkit","mod_loader-folia","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","mod_loader-spigot","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\n

\n2. Drop it into your server’s `plugins\/` folder.
