Lues Scythe
by Lue
Lues Scythe adds a NeoForge scythe weapon for Minecraft 1.21.1, with a slash attack, a healing effect tied to each slash, and a sneak-triggered counter.
What it does
The scythe is a weapon whose slash can heal its wielder, and the amount grows with the level of the enchantment that governs it, up to level III. At level III the slash is described as hitting three times in total, plus extra counts beyond the vanilla attack. The healing from each slash is set at 0.25, 0.5 and 1 across the levels, and the cooldown is 3 seconds, shared with the Lifesteal effect.
The sneak plus right-click action sets up a counter that reflects arrows and hits most entities. Its cooldown is 15 seconds, and it increases the damage dealt by the counter. A Strong Stance effect also comes with the weapon. The author notes the scythe model is still a placeholder, and that the sprites were made as an original design.
Installation is on NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. The current file is 2.0.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-04-12 on the beta channel.
