Bone Knife
by biggsmcb
Bone Knife adds a craftable knife made from bone and flint, placed between the wooden sword and the stone tools as an early weapon.
What it does
The knife is made from vanilla materials with a shapeless recipe, so a player can craft it early without any special resources. Its base damage sits slightly below a wooden sword, and it accepts a high number of enchantments, which gives it a later use as an enchanting target. Forge and NeoForge are supported, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 1.21.4. The mod runs on client and server, and it is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features
Shapeless bone and flint recipe
The knife is crafted from bone and flint in a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can be placed in any arrangement.
Slightly weaker than a wooden sword
Base damage is set just under the wooden sword, keeping it a starting weapon rather than a replacement for later tools.
High enchantability
The knife takes a large number of enchantments, which makes it a possible later-game item for players who enchant weapons.

The Bone Knife is slightly weaker than a wooden sword, but easy to make and highly enchantable, more than a gold sword. I needed a weak starting weapon for a custom map that could be easy to craft from non-exploitable materials. I…
