Knightly Weaponry
by GalaxyBoi
Players who want swords, axes and staffs with distinct stats can add Knightly Weaponry, a Forge mod that brings seven new melee weapons into the game.
What it does
Knightly Weaponry introduces seven weapon types, including battle staffs, battle axes and daggers. Each weapon is defined by its speed, damage and durability, so one kind can strike quickly with little force while another hits hard but more slowly. The author notes that the first release is somewhat unbalanced, especially where daggers are concerned, and the weapon set may shift in later builds.
Recipes for the weapons are listed in recipe viewers such as Enough Items, which the author recommends for finding how each piece is made. The author also suggests pairing the mod with Better Combat for a smoother feel during combat. Knightly Weaponry is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge file is version 3, dated 2024-08-17.
Key features
Seven melee weapons
The mod adds seven new weapons, among them battle staffs, battle axes and daggers, each with its own stat profile.
Varied speed and damage
Some weapons swing quickly and deal light damage, while others are slow and strong, giving players different combat styles.
Durability tiers
Weapons range from low to high durability, so a player can choose between a short-lived blade and a sturdier one.
Recipe viewer support
Recipes can be looked up in a recipe viewer such as Enough Items, which is recommended by the author for checking how each weapon is crafted.

How it compares
BladeCasting is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that runs on the client and server and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Damku's Weaponry is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it targets the same Forge 1.20.1 version with the client and server environment. Spartan Weaponry TFC covers Forge 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is not open source. Weapons & Stuff is released under All rights reserved and spans 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 rather than one version. Arsenal+ works on either side, and neither needs it, with All rights reserved, and is not open source.
