Japanese katana
by NIGHTBREZEE
Japanese katana adds a katana weapon to Minecraft Java Edition for players who want a samurai-style blade in survival and adventure play.
What it does
The katana is a melee weapon added to the game for 1.20.1, with builds for both Fabric and Forge. The mod was developed by NIGHTBREZEE, whose stated goal is a legendary katana for fighting monsters. Both the server and every player need the mod installed, and the code is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
I also worked on adding additional blocks for this Katana weapon and studied in more detail the program for creating modifications for the Minecraft game. So far, only one version will be released, this is: 1.20.1 Forge, but in the future I will make more and more supported versions for this wonderful game.
