DUEL!
by Noname_who
DUEL! adds a collection of rapiers, daggers, light maces and sabers for NeoForge, along with a duelist structure and villager that sells rapiers.
What it does
The weapons come in tiers from wooden to netherite for the rapiers, and three special weapons are included: the Leviathan Axe, the Daggers and the Light Maces. Rapiers are crafted in a diagonal pattern similar to a sword. Their attacks are quick and deal less damage than usual weapons, while the Light Maces hit very hard but swing slowly. Sabers are faster swords with lower damage, greater durability and enchantment support, and the Bone Saber is a narrow variant. Daggers deal small damage, with more damage when the player crouches and attacks the ground, and a smoke bomb gives brief invisibility.
A dash ability lets rapiers and daggers lunge forward on a cooldown. A new duelist structure can be found in the world, and a duelist villager there sells rapiers. The mod is published for NeoForge only and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, with 2.0.2 for 1.21.8 as the latest, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The author notes further updates with new weapons.
