If you've ever felt that knockback on Spigot 1.8.8 just doesn't feel right — you're not wrong.
Spigot slightly changed the knockback system compared to pure vanilla Minecraft, which made PvP hits feel heavier and slower.

VanillaKnockBackPlus fixes that by restoring the original 1.8.8 vanilla knockback logic from the game's source.
No random tweaks — just the smooth, clean knockback everyone remembers.

Features

• Real vanilla 1.8.8 knockback physics
• Simple config: choose between PvP-only or all entities
• Lightweight — zero lag or extra calculations
• Works with Spigot, Paper, TacoSpigot, and forks
• No dependencies or setup hassle
