Legendary Weapons
by illumn8n
Legendary Weapons adds three late-game Forge weapons for Minecraft 1.20.1: an XP scythe, a light-manipulating sword and a combat axe.
What it does
The XP Scythe is built for fights against monsters and other mobs. Each hit gives its user 10 XP, and its special attack fires a blast of raw XP that the author describes as dragon-breath-like, with damage tied to the target's armor value. The Light Blast sword manipulates light: its attacks can apply darkness and speed to the enemy and night vision and speed to the wielder for a short time, and its special attack shoots a spectral arrow that gives the user night vision and speed on a cooldown. The Combat Axe is aimed at player-versus-player fights and, according to the author, shreds netherite armor.
The weapons are crafted from recipes that need a diamond block, and the amount of diamond needed can vary depending on the weapon. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, and it is a client and server mod, so players and the server both need it. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Use cases
Late-game survival
The weapons are meant for the later stages of a world, once players can reach diamond blocks.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners can add the combat axe and scythe to a server, since both sides run the mod.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.20.1 who want legendary weapons for late-game combat. Server owners running Forge 1.20.1 can install the mod on both the server and client.
How it compares
Classic Scythe is a Forge scythe for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, client and server, but it is not open source. Dungeons Weaponry is also Forge, client and server, under the MIT License, and covers 1.19.4 – 1.20.4. Sword Variants is a Forge sword mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, client and server, so it shares the environment and license of this mod.
