Kitchen knife
by kiloo87gd
Kitchen knife is a Forge equipment mod that adds a cleaver-style weapon for players who want a melee item with unusual powers.
What it does
The cleaver is craftable through an in-game recipe and is shaped like a plain kitchen blade, though the author describes it as flawless and silent when held. The mod gives it special attacks: Entity Purge Protocol, Stasis Trigger and Oblivion Strike, which the author describes as a 50 by 50 area-of-effect strike. The author also notes that the weapon is meant to take down relatively weak mod creatures, and that it was built to outperform a similar beginner kitchen knife from another mod.
Technical Lore Acquisition is listed as a feature, and the author text says the cleaver can be obtained by defeating a hidden boss dimension or by editing one's creative inventory through external means. The mod is Forge only, for 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Epic Core API must also be installed. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Overview: Forged from concepts rather than matter, the Cleaver is an anomalous artifact that operates on a meta-level, manipulating the fundamental rules of the world. It appears not as a grand sword, but as a simple, unnaturally flawless kitchen cleaver, its blade reflecting not light, but a silent void. This…
