MCM adds a set of new swords and bows for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, with crafted and loot-found weapons that change how combat plays out.
What it does
The mod adds a collection of new weapons to the game. Swords are described as sharp and bows as strong, and each weapon has its own characteristics, so players can try different tools and settle on the style that suits them. Weapons can be crafted from straightforward recipes or found as hidden loot, which makes obtaining them part of normal progression.
The weapons are balanced to sit alongside vanilla equipment without overpowering it. The mod is aimed at players who want a combat change that can be picked up quickly, with no steep learning curve. The developer plans regular updates that add weapons, optimizations and features based on player feedback. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
