What it does

Scythes sit between swords and axes in the mod's design. Each one is crafted from a material, and each carries properties of its own, including a sweeping attack that can reach a wide area and an extended reach. The new combat items come as a set, so a player can fight with weapons that differ from vanilla ones in both range and damage pattern.

Shields are split into two tiers. Basic shields come in wood, stone, iron, diamond and netherite, and a set of unique shields joins them. A breeze rod collected from breeze mobs opens the recipe for the Windbound Katana. The mod is built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so one install covers the common loaders.

Mo-Combat is needed by the server, while players may add it to their client for extra features, so the server must run it and clients may skip it. Files exist for game versions 1.21.4, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8 and 1.21.9, with 1.4.1+mod for 1.21.9 as the latest release. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares

Full comparison

Expanded Armory covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is server required with optional client, and is published for 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, under All rights reserved and not open source. Shield Upgrades is also server required with optional client, runs on the same four loaders for 1.21.5 – 26.3, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so its source is open. Mo-Combat works on the same loaders and environment, but covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.9 and focuses on scythes and shields.
