Counterattack
After landing a successful parry, you have a brief window to strike back for bonus damage.
All values mentioned on this page can be adjusted in-game. Use /parrymodsettings to configure them.
How It Works
When a perfect parry triggers, a counterattack window opens for 450ms. If you attack the parried entity during this window, your hit deals 1.25x damage.
The counterattack window only applies to the entity you parried, hitting a different target during this window won't grant the bonus.
Counter Reticle
When enabled, a counter reticle appears on your HUD during the counterattack window to indicate you can strike back for bonus damage. This is controlled by enableCounterReticle.
Effects
When a counterattack lands:
- A counter particle effect plays at the hit location
- A counter sound effect plays

Enchantment Integration
If the Simple Enchanting mod is installed, the Riposte enchantment multiplies counterattack damage further. Each level of Riposte increases the counterattack damage multiplier, stacking on top of the base counterattackDamageMultiplier.
See Simple Enchanting for details.
