Diamethyst Medieval Weapons
by mc-goodch
Diamethyst Medieval Weapons adds glaive, halberd, lochaber axe and ranseur weapons to the Diamethysts collection, each with its own special ability.
What it does
The mod adds medieval polearms and weapon types that extend the Diamethysts weapon collection. Each added weapon follows a historical design: the glaive has a single-edged blade on a long pole, the halberd combines an axe blade with a spike on a long shaft, the lochaber axe is a Scottish poleaxe, and the ranseur is a spear-tip with a cross hilt. The Diamethyst versions of these weapons carry unique abilities, such as a Sweeping Edge effect on the glaive, Sharpness on the halberd, a shield-disabling ability on the lochaber axe and a configurable chance to dismount a mounted attacker with the ranseur.
The mod requires Diamethysts!, and it does not run without it. It can also work alongside Better Combat, since its weapons are compatible with that mod. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.19 – 1.21.1 and the latest files targeting 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
