Elementary Equipment
by AmongFox
Elementary Equipment adds elemental weapons to Fabric, each with passive and active abilities that players gain and use through custom game mechanics.
What it does
Weapons in the mod carry an elemental theme. Each weapon gives a permanent passive bonus while held, and an active ability that a player triggers by right-clicking. The abilities come with their own particle effects and element sounds, so combat and use look distinct from vanilla weapons.
The mod is built on Fabric and needs Fabric API. It is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.5, with files for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4 and 1.20.5. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is public. Its settings, including the balance of abilities, can be changed through a configuration file.
Key features
Elemental weapons

Passive abilities
Each weapon grants permanent bonuses while it is equipped, without any input from the player.
Active abilities
A right-click triggers a weapon's special ability, with dedicated particles and sounds for each element.
Rollback balancing system
A rollback system lets the author revert ability changes, keeping balance adjustable across releases.
