Gladius
by Feliscape
Gladius adds new melee weapons with their own mechanics, enchantments and effects to the combat on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Gladius targets the equipment category and expands combat by introducing weapons that behave differently from vanilla swords and axes, with new enchantments and effects that vary the choice of approach in a fight. Some items are still in progress and can only be obtained through commands. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project lists public links for its source and issue tracker.
Key features
New combat weapons
Weapons with distinct mechanics add options to melee fights beyond the standard vanilla equipment.
Custom enchantments and effects
New enchantments and effects let each weapon be tuned toward a different style of combat.
Work-in-progress items
Some items are marked as unfinished and are reachable only through commands while their functions are still being refined.
