Jacob's Weapons
by JacobG5
Jacob's Weapons adds combat weapons, enchantments, tools and structures for players who want new gear on Fabric.
What it does
The mod adds a set of combat weapons built around a crafted metal material. The mid-tier weapons hit moderately with a slow swing, while the high-damage weapons swing slowly and strike hard. Some weapons sweep multiple enemies in an arc like swords, and certain weapons can break shields.
Alongside the weapons, the mod introduces a pickaxe-like tool that breaks blocks in a wider area, a new Silk Touch Mending enchantment that lets a player break several blocks at once, and structures that generate in the world. Craftable materials tie the new items into ordinary survival progression.
The mod is for Fabric only and is published for 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. Client and server both need it, and it requires Fabric API and JAPI to run. The code is all rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
