epxzzy's sabers
by epxzzy
epxzzy's sabers adds several new melee weapons to Forge 1.20.1, some with unique gimmicks such as projectile deflection and ignition.
What it does
The sabers are built for high-speed dueling. Swings, strikes, blocks, stances and abilities are tracked with exposed hitpoints shown in real time, and the animations are drawn to match each action. Sabers deflect a blow the way a sword meets a blow, while the blocks and strikes of the axes follow their own rules.
Seven weapon variants are included, with more planned. Five abilities are spread across three of the variants, and players switch states that can be toggled on and off. Holding Shift and right-clicking cycles through seven stances. Each saber's color can be set through individual RGB values, and there is no limit on the number of colors.
The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It is published for 1.20.1 on Forge, and it runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. The source code and a wiki are linked from the project.
