Eugene's Guan Dao
by Eugene
Eugene's Guan Dao adds a polearm weapon from ancient China to Fabric, modeled on the curved blade with a hooked edge and scalloped spine.
What it does
The weapon is a guan dao, a historical cavalry polearm known for its long curved blade with a pronounced hook and a scalloped spine. Historically it was used from horseback rather than by foot soldiers, and it is most often linked with the famous weapon of a hero in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The mod brings that weapon into Minecraft so players can wield it in combat.
When a player strikes an enemy while riding a horse, the hit applies slowness and weakness for a number of seconds, which reflects its mounted use. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it is client and server. The mod is published for Fabric only, on the 1.20 – 1.20.4 range across five release versions, and it requires no other mod.
