Artillery & Armory
by Ghost
Artillery & Armory is a Fabric equipment mod that adds combat weapons, including a lance, whose effects stun, launch and wither enemies.
What it does
The mod brings new weapons to combat, each with its own effect on the target. Hits can stun an enemy for a set duration, launch it into the air, or apply a withering effect that passes through armor. A lance grants extra speed and damage, and a critical hit on an enemy can put that enemy's item on cooldown.
Some effects cut both ways. Launch is also used against the player, so the wielder can be thrown into the air by a weapon. Speed from one item is stronger than a horse's speed boost, which can change how fights and travel play out. Players who fight in both single-player and multiplayer will see the same effects, because the server runs the combat logic.
The mod requires Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, across six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Stun effect
Weapons stun an enemy for a set duration, interrupting its actions while the effect lasts.
Launch effect
A hit can throw an enemy into the air, and the same effect can also launch the wielder.
Withering through armor
A withering effect applies damage that ignores armor protection, similar to the wither effect.
Lance speed and damage
The lance boosts the wielder's speed and adds damage to each attack.
