Hidden Arts
by Cosmi_C
Hidden Arts is a NeoForge magic mod for 1.21.1 that adds jutsu-inspired abilities, mutations and weapons, built for the Hidden Arts SMP server.
What it does
Hidden Arts brings Naruto-inspired ninja abilities into Minecraft. A player picks one mutation, and each mutation can be toggled on or off as a buff that also changes the player's cosmetic appearance. Some mutations are tied to stats: Crystal Body raises defence, and Inkling grants greater movement speed. The content is shaped around the Hidden Arts SMP server, which the mod was made for.
The mod also adds a set of new weapons. The Lance attacks faster with slightly less damage, the Paintbrush adds extra damage while a rider is mounted, Crystal Larissa slows any enemy it hits, and the Cursed Longsword is a crystalline spear-style weapon. Weapons were made to work alongside the Better Combat mod. The mod runs on NeoForge only, and since it is a client and server mod, the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest NeoForge file, released under All rights reserved.
