Duelist's Glove

by ThrowNewError

Duelist's Glove lets a player wield a sword in each hand, with the second sword held in the off hand and swung through a Curios glove slot.

What it does

The mod adds a Duelist's Glove that equips into the gloves slot of the Curios menu. While the glove is worn and a sword is held in the main hand and another in the off hand, attacks alternate between the two hands automatically, with vanilla swing animations for each strike. Every successful dual-sword hit uses one point of durability, and the glove has 3122 durability, so the glove wears down over fights and breaks when it runs out. Once it breaks, dual-sword mode stops until a new glove is equipped. While dual-sword mode is on, both hands get a 30 percent longer attack cooldown, a deliberate cost that slows each blow.

The glove is crafted in survival and works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, with both loaders needing the Curios API and the open-hands-lib library. Duelist's Glove is open source under the MIT License and is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Fabric builds also require Fabric Language Kotlin, Trinkets and open-hands-lib, and NeoForge builds require Kotlin for Forge alongside the Curios API.

Key features

  1. Dual-sword attacks

    Holding a sword in each hand lets attacks alternate between the main and off hand, each with its own swing.

  2. Glove durability

    The glove has 3122 durability and loses one point per successful dual-sword hit, breaking when used up.

  3. Attack cooldown trade-off

    Dual-sword mode raises the attack cooldown of both hands by 30 percent.

  4. Curios gloves slot

    The glove sits in the Curios gloves slot, which the player opens from the Curios menu.

Questions

Which loaders does Duelist's Glove support?

The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1. Each loader needs its own set of required libraries.

Does the server need Duelist's Glove?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Why does the glove stop working?

Each successful dual-sword hit costs one point of durability. When the 3122 durability runs out, the glove breaks, and dual-sword mode stays off until a new glove is equipped.

What the author says

A Curios glove for dual-wield sword combat on NeoForge. Alternate attacks between your main and off hand with vanilla swing animations — each hit plays from the hand you strike with. When the glove breaks, dual-sword mode stops until you equip a new one.
