Mace Variants

by GamerPotionDev

Mace Variants adds RPG-style variants of the vanilla mace, each with its own special effect and ability, crafted from the recipes the mod defines.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v2.0 onlyOpen source1.21.1 – 26.2

What it does

Each variant is a mace item with extra attributes: attack damage, attack speed and increased movement speed when the weapon is held in the main hand. Some variants carry special effects such as Density II, which alters how the mace deals damage, and enchantment-like effects such as Fire Aspect II Smite and Wind Burst II Sharpness. The variants extend the mace introduced in version 1.21, so the vanilla weapon remains the base and the variants build on it.

The variants are crafted from recipes listed on the mod's page, and more variants are planned for later releases. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across five game versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, and the source code is available under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, so the mod is open source.

    Each variant is crafted from a recipe listed on the mod's page, so players work toward them through normal progression.
