What it does

Apocalypse Rising adds a large set of melee weapons modeled on modern designs, with detailed 3D models and unique weapons. Weapons are crafted through data-driven recipes, and each weapon can be given a different skin to change its look. The mod also includes more decorative blocks. Curios API is required, and the mod is built for Forge on 1.20.1 only.

Better Combat is optional and the mod is compatible with it, and Epic Fight compatibility is also included. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it needs it too. JEI is optional and, when present, lets players view recipes for the weapons and blocks.

Questions

Does Apocalypse Rising need Curios API?

Yes. Curios API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Apocalypse Rising on Forge 1.20.1.

Does the server need Apocalypse Rising?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Can Better Combat be used with the weapons?

Better Combat is optional, and the mod is compatible with it, so it can be added without changing the weapons.
