Arsenal Core
Arsenal Core is a Forge and NeoForge equipment mod that adds realistic base weapons and serves as the core for the Arsenal series.
What it does
Arsenal Core provides the six most basic weapon types of the Arsenal series, built on realistic weapon designs and meant to balance gameplay. Both client and server need the mod, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source. Files target 1.16.5 – 1.21.5 across Forge and NeoForge.
Better Combat and Curios API are optional dependencies: Curios API lets weapons be used as decoration in accessory slots, in the way the original Chinese Style Sword mod does.
