Arsenal and Anvil
by junya
Arsenal and Anvil is a NeoForge equipment mod that adds twelve weapons and tools, with tiered weapons that include katanas, glaives and hammers.
What it does
The twelve new weapons are grouped into fast weapons, heavy weapons and polearms, and the tiers give players a range of options for fighting. Items are crafted the same way as their vanilla counterparts, and a guide book helps players get started with the new content.
Some tools do more than their vanilla versions. Facing a block, a hammer breaks a three-by-three patch aligned with the direction the player is looking, while a paxel combines the pickaxe, axe and shovel roles into one tool, and a sickle reaps a three-by-three set of crops with a small chance of bonus drops. The mod needs Curios API, Patchouli and Placebo, and it is open source under the MIT License. It is published for 1.21.1 only, with the 1.0.0 NeoForge file dated 2025-05-30. Installing it requires the client and the server to both run it.

How it compares
Just Paxels offers paxel-style tools for NeoForge 1.21.1 under All rights reserved and is not open source. Ranutils is also a NeoForge 1.21.1 mod under All rights reserved and is not open source. Iron Hammer covers NeoForge 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is not open source, so its version range is wider than this mod's single 1.21.1 release.
