combat plus
by Glowy
Combat plus adds five melee weapons to Forge 1.20.1, each built for a different fighting style, from wide sweeps to fast close-range strikes.
What it does
Combat plus introduces a scythe, a hammer, a knife and a bat, each crafted from iron, wood, string or leather. The scythe sweeps across several enemies in one swing, which helps when clearing groups of mobs. The hammer is slow but hits hard and throws enemies back, though it leaves blocks intact. The knife trades reach for speed, and the bat gives steady damage with a wide swing that works in early and late fights alike.
The mod needs Curios API on Forge 1.20.1 and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it installed. Files cover Forge only, for 1.20.1, with version 1.0.2 as the latest build from 2024-11-23. The mod was first published on 2024-11-19, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Scythe sweeps
The scythe strikes several enemies with one motion, which suits crowd control against swarms of mobs.
Heavy hammer
The hammer deals massive damage with increased knockback, sending mobs flying, but it does not break blocks.
Fast knife
The knife is light and quick, suited to rapid strikes at close range and to taking down enemies swiftly, though its durability is low.
Versatile bat
The bat offers solid damage and moderate attack speed, with a wide swing that reaches multiple foes.

Use cases
Mob-heavy nights
The scythe and bat give players a way to hit groups of hostile mobs without switching weapons constantly.
Early and late fights
Materials such as wood, leather and iron let players craft the weapons early, while the hammer and scythe remain useful against tougher foes later.
Who it’s for: Players who want more weapon choices in Forge 1.20.1 survival or adventure worlds, especially those who fight mixed crowds of mobs at different ranges.
