Dangerous Daggers
by jodim
Dangerous Daggers is a NeoForge equipment mod that adds tiered daggers which can be tipped with potions, along with enchantments and achievements.
What it does
Daggers come in several tiers, including a copper tier, and each can be tipped using the same recipe as tipped arrows. A tipped dagger carries a potion effect such as blindness. A hidden knife can be held behind the hand and breaks instantly, which suits sneak attacks. A new achievement tab collects dagger-related achievements, and one of them covers making sneak attacks such as dropping onto a ceiling easier to perform.
Two enchantments are added for daggers. The first, penetration, ignores the armor level of the target. The second makes enemies hit by a dagger glow for a period whose length grows with the enchantment's level. Goblins spawn in a new dagger temple structure and sometimes carry a water bucket, which can be used for clutching. Dagger Trader villagers sell daggers and tipped daggers.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, across 1.21.1 – 1.21.6, with 1.2.4-1.21.6 for 1.21.6 as the latest file. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
