Tired of inconsistent knockback ruining your PvP experience? Our plugin recalculates knockback as if it were done clientside, leveling the playing field and ensuring every player enjoys a fair fight, no matter their connection quality.

Minecraft doesn’t factor in network latency when determining a player's actions on the server. This causes the server to receive outdated information that doesn’t reflect the player's clientside position, leading to varying knockback effects based on connection quality.

This plugin intercepts and adjusts knockback calculations to match what would occur clientside, effectively mitigating the disadvantages caused by high latency. By synchronizing knockback handling, we ensure that players experience consistent and fair knockback, providing a balanced and competitive environment for all."
