An add-on mod to Better Combat that allows it to work with (humanoid) mobs.
Requires Mob Player Animator to properly animate the mobs through Player Animator.
Config options are included to control which mobs are allowed to use the Better Combat system, as well as automatically blacklist mobs animated using GeckoLib since they are not compatible with Player Animator.
It is compatible with Guard Villagers and Villager Recruits.
