Daggers and purpur
by Unblonded
Daggers and purpur adds a tiered set of daggers and a purpur ore line with its own armor, all built for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod brings daggers into the game at the same material tiers as swords and tools: wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond, netherite and a new purpur tier. The daggers trade damage for attack speed, so each hit lands faster but does less damage than a sword of the same material. Players who want a light weapon that swings quickly can use them in place of heavier options.
Purpur is a new ore found in the End. Mining nine purpur ore and smelting the results yields purpur nuggets, and nine nuggets craft into a purpur ingot, the same way iron nuggets become iron ingots. Purpur also forms an armor set, and a purpur upgrade template turns the purpur armor into a fuller set, found as End city treasure, that can be combined with netherite armor.
The mod needs Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is installed on both the client and the server. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with the latest Forge file, 1.0.2, dated 2024-08-02.
