中华古刃 - Chinese Ancient Blade
by LegolasSong
With 中华古刃 - Chinese Ancient Blade, players can wield Tang Hengdao, Ring-hilted Dao and other ancient Chinese weapons from the Huaxia period in Minecraft.
What it does
The mod adds ancient Chinese weapons of the Huaxia era, including the Tang Hengdao, the Ring-hilted Dao, the Yanlingdao, the Yanchidao and the Miaodao. Weapons that carry a lightness skill can be activated with the default G hotkey to perform an internal-energy technique, and the light movement system has been refined over several releases. Some weapons, such as the Nether Baodao, the Golden Strategy Guard Hengdao and the Cold Iron Spine Hengdao, drain a small amount of experience while held, in exchange for a Damage Absorption or Strength effect.
The mod needs Geckolib and Player Animator, and it is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only. Both client and server need it. Better Combat is optional and works alongside the weapons. Most weapons are crafted in separate steps: a blade blank, then the blade, then the sheath, with some pieces made through forging upgrades. The author recommends a mod that displays crafting recipes. Files are released under the ISC License, and the code is not open source.
