Bigger Arsenal
by Jaidev
Bigger Arsenal adds four new weapon types to Minecraft, each a variant of an existing tool that reaches farther or harvests a wider area.
What it does
Each new weapon is close to the normal tool it is based on, with a few changed values. The axe-style weapon reaches farther and can harvest a 3x1x3 area of crops at once. Melee range is slightly reduced by half a block, while attack range and block break range each gain two blocks. A small throwable weapon is included as well.
The mod depends on Jaidev Library, which must be installed alongside it. Bigger Arsenal is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
Key features
Four new weapon types
The mod adds four weapon types that are not part of vanilla, each shaped on an existing tool.
Wider crop harvesting
The axe-style weapon harvests a 3x1x3 area of crops in one action, the same time a normal harvesting tool would take.
Extended reach
Player attack range and block break range are each raised by two blocks, while melee range drops by half a block.
Throwable weapon
A small throwable projectile weapon joins the set, giving a ranged option beyond the standard tools.
