Astral Arsenal
by TeamVoided
Astral Arsenal reworks Minecraft combat on Fabric, replacing vanilla weapons and enchantments with new mechanics, weapons and a kosmogliph system.
What it does
The mod changes how fights work. Protection enchantments are replaced by Feather Falling, which grants damage reduction per level up to a cap of 80%. Shields lose their five-tick delay before blocking, and a new mechanic grants five ticks of bonus effect after an entity leaves the crosshair, so players can chain hits. Using bows, crossbows, food or other items slows movement less than in vanilla, and arrows deal bonus damage with reduced penalties.
Weapons gain new roles. The railgun becomes a strong weapon when paired with a kosmogliph, and the nailcannon fires a continuous stream of low-damage nails that recharges slowly. The astral greathammer uses a sweeping attack with the same cooldown as a sword. The tome applies hexes that buff allies and afflict opponents, and it can be interrupted while reading.
Astral Arsenal is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Fzzy Config are required, and the bundled farrow library is included inside the mod.
Key features
Kosmogliph system
Kosmogliphs are attached to weapons to add effects, and combinations of them can be tested for different results.
Reworked protection
Blast, fire and projectile protection are removed, and Feather Falling takes over as a damage reduction enchantment.
Timed combat hits
Hitting an entity within five ticks after it leaves the crosshair triggers a bonus effect, rewarding quick follow-ups.
Weapon roles
The railgun, nailcannon, astral greathammer and tome each have a distinct playstyle, from burst damage to hex support.
Adjusted penalties
Bows, crossbows, eating and movement have changed speed penalties, and Power deals less damage to players than to mobs.
