Laceration

Three weapons come with the mod: the Serrated Cleaver, a Netherite Axe upgraded with materials Vindicators drop, which adds bleed damage on a critical strike; the Bloodwoven Needle, assembled from blood vials taken from bleeding mobs and metal Vindicators leave behind, a slightly weaker take on the Netherite Sword that depends mostly on custom enchantments; and the Bloodtassle Glaive, a weapon meant to even out the balance between swords and axes. Three enchantments and four food items complete the set, and the enchantments can be obtained from Evoker drops.

Laceration is built around combat that spends health. Its custom enchantments trigger on specific weapons: the Sanguine Lunge dash costs a small amount of health and impales what lies ahead, applying a slowing damage-over-time effect, and it is only applied to the Glaive and the Needle. Scarled Mark launches three blood daggers that temporarily reduce a target's maximum health, while Marking Prey makes a thrown weapon impale its target and amplify the damage it takes from Laceration items. Kill scaling grants health based on the victim's maximum health.

Laceration is for Fabric players on Minecraft 1.20.1 or 1.21.1 who want weapons with new mechanics rather than stat changes. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Cardinal Components API is bundled inside the mod, so no separate install is needed.
