Grafted Weaponry
by diejeff1
Grafted Weaponry lets players build unique melee weapons by combining parts taken from mobs, using two new crafting stations.
What it does
Players collect essence from mobs they kill, and the essence takes the color and nature of the mob it came from. Each essence can be shaped into weapon pieces at the surgery table, and the finished pieces are combined at the grafting table into a single weapon. Recipes for the pieces and the grafting steps can be viewed in JEI.
Weapon grafting is meant for players who want a weapon that no other player is likely to have, since the parts depend on which mobs were slain and in what order. Essence can also come from modded entities, so the set of possible parts is not limited to vanilla creatures. Grafted Weaponry is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Both sides need it, so the server and every player run the mod, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Surgery table
Shapes individual weapon pieces from collected mob essence, so each part is made before the final assembly.
Grafting table
Joins the finished pieces into one grafted weapon, which is the last step of the crafting chain.
Mob essence drops
Essence drops from entities in the world with a chance to appear when a mob is killed by a player, and it carries the mob's color.
Modded entity support
Essence is collected from modded mobs as well as vanilla ones, which widens the range of weapon parts.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Exploring mob drops
Players who hunt different mobs collect a varied set of essence and build weapons that reflect their hunting route.
Modded pack progression
In packs with many mobs, the grafting chain gives players a long crafting path that uses the mobs they encounter.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy crafting paths built around mob drops, and server owners running modded packs on Forge or NeoForge, where both sides need the mod.
