Hephaestus Expansion

by EnchantedWisp

Hephaestus Expansion is a Fabric addon for Hephaestus that adds new weapons, including twinblades and rapiers, with their own traits.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Weapons added by the expansion use custom textures in the style of Mythic Metals materials. Each one receives a custom trait of its own, and the add-on introduces a handful of new weapon types for players to craft and wield. Twinblade and rapier are the two new weapon types named by the author so far.

Hephaestus is required, so it must be installed alongside this add-on. Better Combat is optional; the author states compatibility with it is still being worked out. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. Only version 1.20.1 is covered by the files, which are released under the MIT License and open source, with source code and an issue tracker public. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.2 for 1.20.1, a beta build dated 2025-08-12, the same day the mod was last updated.

Key features

  1. Twinblade weapons

    A twinblade weapon type is added to the catalog of weapons the mod introduces.

  2. Rapier weapons

    A rapier weapon type joins the new weapons, giving players a thinner blade to choose from.

  3. Custom weapon traits

    Each weapon carries a custom trait of its own, rather than using a trait system borrowed from another mod.

  4. Mythic Metals style textures

    New weapons use custom textures modeled on the look of Mythic Metals materials.

What the author says

A Hephaestus add-on that introduces a handful of new weapons to tinker around with. Future plans include adding more variations, custom traits, and unique counterparts for each weapon. Also Better Combat compat should improve as I figure it out.
