Metal pipe
by DeM0RG
Metal pipe is a Cursed weapon mod that adds a heavy melee item with a strong knockback punch for players and mobs.
What it does
A metal pipe is a melee weapon that carries a crushing blow. Striking a mob sends it back more than 50 blocks, and striking another player sends that player back more than 40 blocks. Each hit comes with particles and a sound, and the weapon is balanced by its crafting cost, so it is not a free upgrade.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Mobs cannot use metal pipe functions, which keeps the weapon in player hands. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across the 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 range, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.8 and the 1.3 release as the latest file on each loader. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Fabric 1.20.1 builds include the mod already running, so the mod can be launched directly on that loader without a separate installation step.
