CutAndSlash

Players who tire of the vanilla weapon set can use CutAndSlash to add many new ones drawn from different eras and cultures, from ancient Egypt to crossovers with other games. Each weapon has its own strategy and is meant to change how the end game is played, since the effects differ from those of vanilla weapons. Some weapons activate an ability on a cooldown, some apply a passive effect while held, and others change how an item behaves compared with the rest.

The mod is built around combat variety. Weapons include a light, quick sword made from Tamahagane, a wooden staff that breaks bones and causes a radial explosion, projectiles fired in rapid succession, a sticky bomb, a trap of thorns that impedes enemies who walk into it, and a flail-like baton that grants temporary immortality. Several weapons can be upgraded, with a Tamahagane upgrade that raises durability, strength and explosion power.

CutAndSlash is a Forge mod and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 and is released under the AFL-3.0 license, which means it is not open source. Create is an optional dependency that the mod can use alongside its own content.
