L2 Weaponry
by LightLand
Players who want more weapon types can add daggers, claws, machetes, hammers, battle axes, spears and throwables, each with its own special ability, through L2 Weaponry.
What it does
L2 Weaponry adds several weapon families and two shield types. Daggers strike fast and deal double damage to enemies that have not noticed the player. Claws gain damage on consecutive hits and block for a short time after a successful strike, and dual-wielding two claws raises the damage cap and widens the sweep. Machetes trade some attack speed for higher damage. Hammers and battle axes are slow and heavy, with the hammer piercing armor and the battle axe breaking shields. Spears sweep at long range, while throwing axes and javelins can be thrown and enchanted with Loyalty.
The mod also contributes legendary weapons that carry stronger effects, such as flame and frost on targets, teleportation toward a marked enemy, and magical protections that some attacks bypass. The round shield allows sprinting while held, and the plate shield reflects damage and bypasses armor on its hits. The mod requires L2 Complements and L2 Library, and optional content hooks into Aerial Hell, Ars Nouveau, Better Combat, Ice and Fire, Just Enough Effect Descriptions (JEED), Modular Golems and The Undergarden.
Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.1 for Forge and NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the project is open source.
