AutoAttack
Toggle continuous attack with a keypress instead of holding the button. Configurable keyboard and gamepad toggles, pause/cancel buttons, on-screen messages, bow and crossbow support. Client-side only.AutoAttack
Press a key to start continuous attacking — the mod keeps the attack button held for you — and press it again to stop. No more holding the attack button through long fights.
Client-side only: neither the server nor other players need the mod.
Features
- Toggle on/off with a keyboard shortcut (default
Mouse1 + LeftAlt) or a gamepad combo (defaultJoyLBumper, JoyRBumper= L1 + R1). - Pause: holding a configured button (block, jump, secondary attack, movement by default) temporarily pauses the toggle; it resumes automatically when you release it.
- Cancel: pressing a configured button stops the toggle completely.
- Weapon change protection: automatically cancels when the equipped weapon changes (can be disabled).
- Bows: keeps drawing and releases the shot automatically once fully drawn.
- Crossbows: waits for the reload instead of holding through it.
- On-screen messages for on/off/cancelled, with configurable texts (empty text = hidden) and position.
- Per-button configuration: every input button the game registers gets its own on/off entry, split into keyboard and gamepad sections and generated from the game's own input registry at startup.
- Master switch (
[General] Enabled) to turn the mod fully off and get vanilla behavior.

Notes:
- The gamepad button list is generated at startup from the game's own input registry and reflects the controller layout active at that moment; restart the game after changing the layout to regenerate it.
- Unknown button names simply never trigger, and a warning is logged once.
