Me and my brother tested this and I can confirm this to be true

setting dir.y to 0 has no effect. Also, it is set to 0 by default when you get the mod.

Replace lines 9 to 11 with dir.y = 0

https://github.com/LoneWolfHT/knockback ... nit.lua#L9

Doesn't work.

Whoops, now change this line https://github.com/LoneWolfHT/knockback ... it.lua#L19
to pos.y = pos.y + 0.1

Already tried that and it has barely any effect at all. If I set it to 0 it makes the player go under the ground by a block.

It worked for me
Changing the y movement to 0 won't fix the jerkiness. The player is being teleported a small distance away from their attacker

Yeah, I will just leave it as it is. Hopefully when the devs make knockback an official thing it will be less jerky.

Would It be possible to get the velocity of the puncher and also use that for knockback? Like if the puncher is walking towards the player getting hit then it does a lot more knockback?

I don't think that would work too well. In PvP players are usually always moving. So I might as well just increase the knock back a little

Ok

Minetest has knockback builtin now since 5.1 IIRC. So this mod is no longer useful for people with 5.1+
