Arcanic Armaments
by mewoDev
Arcanic Armaments adds a set of Forge weapons for 1.20.1 that are crafted from sculk materials, including a bow, a staff-like sceptre and a sculk-themed weapon line.
What it does
The mod's weapons are built from sculk-related ingredients. The Supersonic Bow uses sculkmarrow fragments as its main component and is combined with warden tendrils and iron blocks; it fires sonic booms that pierce up to five enemies and ignore armor, much like the warden's own sonic boom attack. Sculk catalysts and sculkmarrow fragments also feed into the Soulwhisperer, and wardens drop one to two of the fragments needed for the bow.
Several sceptres follow a progression. One is built from iron, diamonds and ender pearls and casts meteors from the sky that explode on nearby monsters. Another uses gold, iron and magma blocks to heal nearby players for a short duration on a long cooldown. The final sceptre is made from iron and the earlier sceptres and casts solar beams that deal fire damage, with a larger area of effect as its range increases.
Arcanic Armaments requires Geckolib on Forge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The files target only 1.20.1 and the latest Forge build is 1.1.0, released on 2024-11-12. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Command Block Sceptre is also Forge and NeoForge, targets only 1.20.1, runs on client and server and is licensed All rights reserved. Wintry Armaments is a Forge option for the same version with the same environment and license. XYZ Scythes is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 on Forge, so it reaches more versions than Arcanic Armaments.
