Maulve's Scythes
by Maulve
Maulve's Scythes adds scythe weapons in several materials to Fabric, with abilities such as healing on kills and crop harvesting.
What it does
Scythes are added as a set of weapons in iron, diamond, netherite and amethyst, along with a reinforced stick and a scythed amethyst item. Each scythe sweeps wider than a sword, and the mod adds a sweeping arc that extends the attack range. Life Drain restores health to the player after a kill, and scythes can harvest crops and other plant blocks across a 3 by 2 area.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric only, across 12 release versions 1.20 – 1.21.4, with 1.3.0+1.21.4 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Scythe set in four materials
Iron, diamond, netherite and amethyst scythes sit alongside the other weapons, with an extra recipe for the amethyst version.
Life Drain
Killing a mob with a scythe heals the player, so combat can recover some health without potions.
Sweeping Arc
The sweeping attack covers a wider arc than the vanilla sweep, reaching more mobs in one swing.
Crop and plant harvesting
Scythes harvest crops and other plant blocks in a 3 by 2 area, clearing a patch in one action.
