GabCraft19's Medieval Longswords
by GabCraft19
GabCraft19's Medieval Longswords adds a set of longswords with medieval designs, each made from its own material and tuned for a different style of combat.
What it does
Each longsword in the set has its own material and stats, so a player can pick a heavier, slower blade for damage or a lighter one that lasts longer in a fight. The weapons are meant to sit alongside vanilla Minecraft combat without overpowering it, with a mix of high damage and durability that keeps the balance of a survival or adventure world.
The mod is a Fabric mod and both the server and every player need it, since the environment is client and server. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for 1.20 – 1.20.6, with 1.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. It is designed as a standalone base, and the author plans further additions in the same series, so it can grow alongside them.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want medieval-styled melee weapons in a Fabric world, and server owners who want the weapons on a multiplayer server where every player installs the mod.
How it compares
BetterWeapons is open source under the MIT License and supports only 1.20 – 1.20.1 on Fabric, so it covers a narrower version range. Better Combat Conquest's Medieval Armors and Weapons Patch is also MIT licensed but not open source, and targets 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, the same range as this mod. Both alternatives run client and server like Medieval Longswords.
