I read project readme, checked client side and server side configurations, and no such feature exists - YES?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to make the vanilla tools (as in shovel/pick/hoe) have an animation too but I cannot figure out how to do so with the config file. I would also like to make the hands have a punching animation (but mostly for the not instant attack speed). I assume for this I can use "claw" but how do I add fists to the config file?

Describe the solution you'd like
If this is currently not possible, I hope it would be an easy addition.

Additional context
Im using a mod called "actions of stamina", and with no cooldown on those three tools I mentioned, you can rapidly click to drain all of your stamina almost instantly. But that does not seem to happen with the slow swing animations of the sword and axe, so I would like to add those to these other tools and fists.

This can be done via fallback compat, or datapacks.

Better Combat Discord FAQ:

How do I add compatibility for mod weapons?

• As a player - The compatibility of weapons is not designed to be changed by end users. If you are really determined, you can check the content of config/bettercombat/fallback_compatibility.json file to change what attributes are assigned by default, to weapons without dedicated compatibility
• As a mod developer - You can add dedicated compatibility for your weapons, following this guide:
  https://github.com/ZsoltMolnarrr/BetterCombat#-integrate-your-mod (This is the most preferred way!)
• As a modpack developer - You can add dedicated compatibility to weapons via datapacks, following this guide:
  https://github.com/ZsoltMolnarrr/BetterCombat#-using-datapacks

How can I exclude axes from this mod?
Use the fallback compatibility configuration to put them on blacklist.
/config/bettercombat/fallback_compatibility.json
"blacklist_item_id_regex": "pickaxe" ➡️ "blacklist_item_id_regex": "pickaxe|axe"
This works for any partial item id, not just axes.

Edit: that did work nvm but also:

how would I add the "claw" animation to basic fists (not holding anything/everything else?)

Currently, there is no way to modify how unarmed combat works.
It is very problematic to implement.
