BestHurtCam by RayDeeUx

A direct modification of Scherso's BetterHurtCam mod, which allows you to adjust Minecraft's hurt animation based on damage sources and player conditions, by selecting a number. Scherso's BetterHurtCam mod was originally inspired by boomboompower's HurtAnimationRemover mod, which cancels Minecraft's hurt animation regardless of the damage source/player conditions. Licensed under the GNU-GPL v3 license as per the terms of section 5. Development of BestHurtCam originally began in mid-February 2022, halted almost immediately after due to personal circumstances, and finally finished on mid May 2022.

Disclaimer: BestHurtCam only supports Minecraft Forge 1.8.9, unlike its ancestor BetterHurtCam by Scherso, which supports multiple versions of Minecraft.

Installation Guide

1. Install Minecraft 1.8.9
2. Install the Forge Loader for 1.8.9
3. Build this repository
4. Place the resulting file in your minecraft/mods directory

Build Guides

For those who would like to build themselves (the original guide Scherso included for BetterHurtCam)

Build with Gradle using Arch Loom

• Make sure Java 17 is installed on your computer

1. Git clone the project: git clone https://github.com/Scherso/ForgeTemplate/
2. Run:

• Unix in Terminal:

Note: If you plan to only build once add the —no-daemon flag to the build.

cd ForgeTemplate ; chmod 755 ./gradlew && ./gradlew --refresh-dependencies build

• Windows in Powershell:

cd ForgeTemplate ; .\gradlew.bat --refresh-dependencies build 

3. Check the directory ForgeTemplate/build/libs or Windows; ForgeTemplate\build\libs

For IntelliJ

IDE Setup

1. Open the project from File > Open... Select ForgeTemplate from it’s given file location.
2. Let the IDE collect dependencies and index the code. (this may take a couple seconds)
3. Go to File > Project Structure... > SDKs and make sure an SDK for Java 17 is installed and selected, if not download it here

Build

Test if the environment is set up correctly setup by clicking the refresh button in IntelliJ’s Gradle tab, if it has indexed properly with no errors do the following:

1. Go to ForgeTemplate > Tasks > loom > genSources in the Gradle tab and run genSources
2. To build the mod as a jar run ForgeTemplate > Tasks > build > build. Gradle will create a new directory called build.
3. Once this process is done, the .jar file will be located in build/libs You can see this in your file tree.

How I built this mod (not sure why you'd like to know it, but here it is anyways in case you use macOS)

Building it the way RayDeeUx did

• Make sure the Java 8 JDK is installed on your (macOS) computer, as well as macOS Homebrew.
• Additionally, make sure your macOS Terminal is set to running on the bash shell and not the zsh shell.

1. Open the macOS Terminal, brew install git or brew upgrade git if necessary.
2. git clone https://github.com/RayDeeUx/BestHurtCam/ && cd BestHurtCam/ && chmod 755 ./gradlew && ./gradlew build
3. Check BestHurtCam/build/libs for the resulting .jar file.
