Beta's Better Weapons
by TheBetaBowl
Beta's Better Weapons changes the weapon set with a few new weapon types, a battleaxe, a spear, and two totem-style items that add health and armor.
What it does
The mod adds a small set of new weapon types through a datapack. The battleaxe deals the most damage of the added weapons but has the slowest attack speed. The spear has the longest reach, which makes it useful for breaking combos from other players, though its attack speed is slow. The totem items give extra hearts and armor when held in the hands. Installation needs a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt loader, and the mod is published for 1.20.5 – 1.21.7. The server must run the mod, while players may add it on the client. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

What the author says
### Battleaxe The Battleaxe does the most damage out of any weapon. Because of this it also has the slowest attack speed. ### Spear The spear has the greatest range and is ment to be used to break combos, but it has a slow attack speed so you can't combo other players with it.
