Aiming
Getting the first hit is essential in order to win a fight. Learning how to properly aim will help you as a better aim means more reach.
Aiming
First, make sure you have the mousedelayfix mod installed. If you are using Forge, the Patcher mod includes this. Lunar Client has this built in.
The reach distance in Minecraft is 3 blocks, starting from the center of your head. This means that in order to get the most amount of reach, you should aim parallel to the ground in most cases.

A 3-block ray from an eye height of 1.6 blocks. When your view hits the ground first, both the ray and horizontal distance stop there. Hitboxes, movement, and server conditions also affect hit registration.
