Supporoform is the fabric version of Tinker's Construct
**Supporoform for Better Combat** is a datapack that gives Supporoform tools and weapons proper **Better Combat** attack animations on **Minecraft 1.20.1**.
Supporoform does not ship Better Combat weapon attribute files, so its tools keep vanilla attack behavior even with Better Combat installed. This datapack fixes that by mapping each weapon/tool to the closest Better Combat animation preset.

### Requirements
- Minecraft **1.20.1**

### Installation
**Per-world (vanilla):**
1. Create or open a world
2. Copy the zip into `saves/<WorldName>/datapacks/`
3. Enable the datapack in world settings
4. Rejoin the world
**Modpack-wide (recommended):**
| Loader | Where to put the files |
|---|---|
| **KubeJS** | Extract and copy `data/tconstruct/` into `kubejs/data/` |
| **OpenLoader** | Drop into `config/openloader/data/` |
| **Paxi** | Drop into `global_packs/required_data/` |
For KubeJS, you only need the `tconstruct/weapon_attributes/` folder — not the whole zip.
The set up should look like this --- KubeJS>Data>tconstruct>weapon_attributes
---
### How it works
Better Combat looks up each held item at `data/<mod_id>/weapon_attributes/<item_id>.json`. This datapack adds those files for Supporoform items, each inheriting from a Better Combat preset:
```json
{ "parent": "bettercombat:sword" }
