BladeCasting
by SajNinja
BladeCasting adds nine medieval melee weapons to Forge 1.20.1, and each one is crafted from a blade shaped in a casting mold.
What it does
Weapons are built in two steps. A casting mold is first shaped into a blade, using the mold and four diamonds, and the finished blade is then combined with sticks at a crafting table to make the weapon.
The nine weapons are Daggers, Longswords, Broadswords, Greatswords, Spears, Greataxes, Hatchets, Rapiers and Throwing Spears. Each has its own attack damage, speed and reach, and Daggers trade high damage and speed for a shorter attack range. Hatchets and Throwing Spears can be thrown, and a thrown weapon keeps its enchantments, although sweeping and loyalty enchantments do not apply to thrown weapons. Blades can be made from gold, iron or diamond, and netherite versions are made by upgrading the diamond weapon at a smithing table.
BladeCasting runs on Forge 1.20.1 only. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Nine medieval weapons
Daggers, Longswords, Broadswords, Greatswords, Spears, Greataxes, Hatchets, Rapiers and Throwing Spears join the vanilla weapon set.
Casting molds and blades
Each weapon starts as a blade shaped in a mold, so the material of the blade decides the final weapon.
Throwable weapons
Hatchets and Throwing Spears can be thrown, and the enchantments of a melee weapon carry over to them.
Weapon material costs
Crafting costs differ by weapon: Daggers and Spears use 1 material, Hatchets 2, Longswords and Broadswords 3, Greatswords 4 and Greataxes 5.
Mold duplication
A casting mold can be copied with four diamonds and four stones, one per stone type, which keeps the mold supply steady.

How it compares
Swords of Adventure is a Forge 1.20.1 mod under All rights reserved and is not open source, with the same client and server environment. Knightly Weaponry is also Forge 1.20.1, client and server, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Scarlet Dagger adds one dagger type under the MIT License, also for Forge 1.20.1 and client and server, so it covers a narrower set than BladeCasting.
