Katana+
Katana+ lets players craft katanas and a ninja armor set on NeoForge 1.21.1, with seven dye-colored katana variants.
What it does
A katana in Katana+ has the same damage, attack speed and durability as a netherite sword. Holding right-click raises the blade in front of the player to block frontal attacks, using the same first-person guard pose as a vanilla shield. Unlike a shield, blocking drains the katana's durability, so frequent blocking wears the weapon down over time.
The mod also adds two decorative items: a set of double shields and bonsai trees for placing in rooms and gardens. Seven katanas, one in each of Dark Red, Orange, Blue, Purple, Yellow and Green, sit alongside the base katana. A stealthy armor set completes the content.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, in the alpha channel. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
