Hollowed's Swords & Sorcery
by Hollowed
Hollowed's Swords & Sorcery puts magic weaponry into the game, adding medieval fantasy weapons that give Forge worlds more to fight with.
What it does
The mod's stated aim is to add more content around magic weapons, and its author describes it as a medieval fantasy addition meant to make gameplay more varied. The author's plan is to ship a basic magic system before November, and the mod is built on the Lodestone API for its special effects. Lodestone and Cardinal Components API are named in the author notes, and Geckolib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod.
Better Combat is an optional dependency that the author lists alongside the mod. Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, across 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 0.1.0-1.20.1 for 1.20.1, a beta release from 2023-08-30. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.

How it compares
TugkanDeMan's Weaponry is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, so it has the same loader and environment as this mod. Exeventyre is also Forge only for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 and client and server, with All rights reserved. Fantasy Weapons (Medieval Series) covers Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, which gives it a wider loader choice and a later version range.

What the author says
Since development of the mod has been switched to fabric, development will take a long time. I am trying to get a basic magic system out before November of this year. The mod will now use Lodestone API for special effects so 1.21 will be delayed until Lodestone has finished porting. You can use this mod for modpacks…
