Criticals

In vanilla Minecraft a critical hit deals roughly 50% bonus damage, but only when you're falling through the air at the moment you attack — you can't be on the ground, in water, on a ladder, and so on. Criticals takes care of this for you, landing a crit on (almost) every hit instead of only when you happen to be falling. It's a staple companion to melee modules like KillAura and AutoClicker.

The Mode setting decides how the crit is achieved. Jump physically performs a tiny hop so you're falling when the hit lands. Packet and NoGround instead manipulate your movement packets so the server believes you're in the air without you actually moving much, which makes them far harder to detect — but the right choice depends on the server's anti-cheat. Timer briefly bends game speed to squeeze a fall in before the hit, and Blink holds packets back until a crit is possible. Pick the mode that matches the anti-cheat you're up against; the packet-based options include presets tuned for common systems.

Sprinting normally cancels critical hits, so the WhenSprinting group can briefly drop your sprint around an attack to let the crit go through. Visuals controls the crit star/particles, letting you show extra effects or even fake them when no real crit happened.
