apocolyptic weapons
Apocolyptic Weapons adds melee weapons suited to a zombie apocalypse setting, such as spiked bats, katanas, cleavers and kitchen knives.
What it does
The weapons are added in several material tiers, including wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond and netherite, so a player can pick a weapon that fits their progress. Bats come in more than one kind, and the knife group covers pocket knives, kitchen knives and cleavers alongside the katana. The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Its files are released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
The author notes that the weapons pair with combat mods and knife textures, but no specific companion mod is named on the Modrinth page.
