Expanded Arsenal

by Saturn_Dog_Enthusiast

Expanded Arsenal adds a set of new weapons to NeoForge 1.21.1, six of them with special abilities, so combat gains more variety.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

Players craft the new weapons in survival, using two added crafting ingredients, and a greatsword handle called Longstick is available for building custom swords. Six weapons carry special abilities that set them apart from the rest of the set, and the weapons use animations supplied by Better Combat, which the mod requires.

The mod is a client and server install, so the server and every player need it. It is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file at 1.6.3, released on 2025-08-02 and first published on 2025-07-28. Better Combat is required as well. The code is released under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Six special-ability weapons

    Six of the added weapons come with special abilities that change how they are used in a fight.

  2. Two new crafting ingredients

    Two added materials are used in recipes, so the new weapons join the survival crafting progression.

  3. Longstick greatsword handle

    A Longstick handle is available for greatswords, giving builders another part to combine.

  4. Better Combat animations

    Weapons use the attack animations that Better Combat provides, so swings look consistent with the rest of the combat system.

How it compares

Full comparison

Pale Arsenal is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is also client and server and under All rights reserved, so it sits closest to this mod in version and license. ApplePie's Arsenals targets 1.21.8 on NeoForge, which makes it a different choice for players on that release. Sidegrade Weapons is NeoForge for 1.21.1, client and server, and released under the MIT License, so it differs from this mod in license.
