Incompatibility with Deployer (Create)

[LegendOfCatBro]

Minecraft version - 1.21.1
Mod loader - Neoforge
Mod version - 2.2.5
I am using the latest version available - Yes

Describe the bug
Because better combat replaces sweeping edge, Create mod deployers cannot use sweeping attacks. This breaks many machine designs that rely on killing more than one mob at a time.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install BetterCombat and Create mod
2. Place and power a deployer facing a pit full of mobs
3. Give the deployer a sword
4. Observe the deployer hit only one mob at a time

Expected behavior
The deployer should perform a sweeping attack that hits multiple mobs.

Screenshots or video recordings

If this is determined to be "create mod's fault" then I might just write my own compatibility patch. I've found the function inside create mod responsible for attacking with the deployer, I just don't understand the codebase and don't wanna spend the next week reading it all. Is there a way to make a forge "FakePlayer" perform a BetterCombat sword swing?

Better Combat was created for light hearted action RPG gameplay, giving zero care about mechanic abuse (such as mob farms).

What exactly is the expected technical solution here?

[LegendOfCatBro]

I dug through the code trying to figure out a solution, but I gave up because I don't undestand how Better Combat works or how it replaces vanilla sweeping edge, so I don't know the technical solution.

My best guess would be to see if there is some way to still access the vanilla code for sweeping edge and player.attack? Then you could tell specific entities (or items?) to use that player.attack instead of the BetterCombat one? This is just a guess, I have no idea how BetterCombat works under the hood and I'm unfamiliar with the minecraft codebase in general, I only know the language.
