Diamethysts!
by mc-goodch
Diamethysts! adds a crystalline material and a set of weapons, tools and armor crafted from it, with a bow and sword variants that differ in speed and damage.
What it does
The mod introduces a mystical crystal named Diamethyst, which is made by infusing crushed crystal dust with other materials in liquid form. Items made from it come in swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes and armor, each with greater durability and power than the vanilla counterparts they replace. Several sword types cover different playstyles: a heavy sword that hits hard but swings slowly, a faster blade, a scimitar that is a little quicker than a standard sword, and battle axes.
The bow line gets more damage and a longer draw before the arrow is released, and diamethyst arrows can affect mobs and blocks in several ways and fly further. Crafting follows a chain: a sword needs a hilt, and a hilt needs a leather-bound stick. The mod requires Fabric API on no loader; it is published only for Forge and NeoForge.
Installation runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Optional dependencies are Better Combat, Realistic Horse Genetics and Shield Expansion, which add their own combat and horse features when installed. Diamethyst Arrows, Diamethyst Golem, Diamethyst Medieval Weapons and Diamethysts Treasure2 Loot all require this mod. Diamethysts! is published for Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved.
