Dune : Maker's Crysknife
Dune : Maker's Crysknife adds a sacred Fremen weapon from Frank Herbert's Dune novels to Minecraft as an equipment item for Forge.
What it does
The crysknife is a sword-type weapon meant to replace the standard sword in a Dune-themed world. Players who want the weapon in survival can find it in desert pyramid chests, where it has a 3.125% chance per chest. Other ways to obtain it are planned for later updates.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Desert Behemoths: Sandworms! is an optional dependency that works alongside it, and the mod otherwise requires no other dependencies. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Files are published for Forge across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest file targets 1.20.6.
