Combat Crafts
by gmlopez2007
Combat Crafts changes the recipes for combat tools, so swords and bows take more crafting steps than they do in vanilla.
What it does
The mod alters how weapons and combat tools are crafted. Instead of the single-step vanilla recipes, a sword or bow is assembled through a longer sequence of crafting steps, which the author describes as a semi-realistic weapon crafting system. The tools still craft at a regular crafting table, so no new block or station is required.
Combat Crafts is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with a single alpha build, alpha-0.3.0, dated 2024-12-26. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and source code is linked publicly.
Key features
Longer weapon recipes
Swords and bows require additional crafting steps before they can be finished, lengthening the path from materials to a usable weapon.
Semi-realistic crafting
The weapon crafting system aims for a more accurate, semi-realistic process than the vanilla recipes provide.
Vanilla crafting table
Combat tools are still crafted at the standard crafting table, without any new block or workstation.
