Mekanism Tools: Simply Swords
Mekanism Tools: Simply Swords adds swords made from Mekanism Tools materials, with Better Combat attributes and recipes for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Swords are added for the Mekanism Tools materials, including Lapis Lazuli, Refined Glowstone and Refined Obsidian, each with an item registration and a crafting recipe. Weapon attributes follow the Better Combat values that the Swords weapon types define, and scythes behave like the other swords and carry the same attribute data. The textures are Mekanism-styled recolors built to fit in with the vanilla and Mekanism Tools look.
The mod requires Mekanism Tools and Simply Swords, so both must be installed alongside it. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with v1.0.0 as the latest file in the beta channel. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Swords for Mekanism Tools materials
Sword items are registered for each Mekanism Tools material, so the weapon set matches the materials players already craft with.
Matching recipes
Each sword has a crafting recipe built from its material, so the weapons can be made as soon as the materials are gathered.
Better Combat attributes
Weapons carry attribute data for the weapon types that Swords defines, and scythes use the same sword behavior and attribute values.
Recolored textures
The item textures were regenerated in a palette that fits with the look of vanilla and Mekanism Tools items.
