EMF Compat: Better Combat
A small client-side mod that makes Better Combat attack animations work correctly with Entity Model Features player models.
Tested with Fresh Animations: Player Extension but it should work with any player animation resource pack.
Looks very good with Visceral Combat Also try Hackers 'n Slashers with EMF Compat: Hackers 'n Slashers
Features
- Compatible with Fresh Animations: Player Extension.
- Your weapon swings and charge poses look right instead of being overwritten by idle resource-pack animations.
- Body and legs keep their EMF animations during attacks; only arms switch to Better Combat.
- Held items align with your swing in first person, so weapons don't float next to your arm.
- Smooth hand-off back to EMF at the end of an attack, no single-frame snap.
- Works with one-handed, two-handed and mace attacks.
enjoy ^_^

- Added a config tab with toggles for arm sync, attack legs, weapon stances
- Added precise support for weapon stances: spear, trident, claymore and the rest keep their stance (off by default)
- Added attack footwork: your legs show the step while standing still, and give way to the walk cycle once you move
- Softer torso lean during attacks, so swings don't tip your whole body over
- Fixed the model flicking back to vanilla for a few frames right after an attack
- Other animation mods keep working normally — the addon no longer switches EMF's animation pause off for everything
