Minecraft 1.20.1
Forge
1.8.1
I am using the latest version available

Describe the bug
Whenever a sword has negative swing speed, it basically becomes unswingable, theres certain mods that adds swords with negative swing speed, therefore the swords are unusable.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch Vanilla Minecraft (or disable BetterCombat)
2. Set a negative generic attack speed, swing your sword, it works
3. Enable BetterCombat, set a negative generic attack speed, swing your sword
4. It won't swing

Expected behavior
I think it should behave like Vanilla Minecraft, since it still swings.

Attack speed is meant to be handled within reasonable range.
What is the attribute value of attack speed in your case?

-4.1 since the sword adds negative 4.1 to the base 4 attack speed of the player. There's a second sword that adds negative 4, turning the attack speed to 0

What is the expected rate (attacks per second) at speed 0?

Idk, so the swords are basically unusable with better combat, that's it?

Umm I don't think so.
I am still trying to understand what a negative attack speed would look like.
