Kaotic Weapons
by h_kaos
Kaotic Weapons adds a set of melee weapons for Forge 1.20.1, including gauntlets and a zweihander sword, with more weapons planned.
What it does
The mod adds several weapon types in a vanilla style, among them gauntlets and the zweihander sword. The author plans further weapons, including special ones, and invites suggestions for future versions. Weapon models were made in Blockbench, and the mod was built with MCreator.
Better Combat is an optional dependency, and the author recommends playing with it installed to get the intended combat behavior. The license is Apache License 2.0 and the project is not open source. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Its first file was published on 2024-10-04, and the latest Forge file, 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, dates from 2025-01-17.
