Sombrius's Weaponry
by Sombrius
Sombrius's Weaponry adds a set of new melee and ranged weapon types, each with its own damage profile, speed and requirements, for players who want more variety in combat on Forge.
What it does
The mod was remade from the ground up with new textures, models and weapon behavior, with the aim of reducing the jankiness of earlier versions. Every weapon trades strengths for weaknesses and is crafted from a material. The author recommends a recipe viewer such as JEI for looking up crafting recipes, and the mod is compatible with Better Combat.
Several weapons need two hands. Spears, halberds and two-handed scythes are slower but reach far or hit hard, while the rapier and messer trade damage for speed. The gladius can block an incoming attack from the off-hand, and the saber absorbs a share of incoming damage. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, across the 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 range with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
Key features
Two-handed weapons
Spears, halberds and jousting lances reach far and hit hard, but swing slower and occupy both hands.
Defensive weapons
The gladius blocks attacks from the off-hand and the saber protects the wielder from a portion of incoming damage.
Status effects on hit
The khopesh inflicts mining fatigue and can make an opponent drop a shield, while the sickle adds bleed damage.
Conditional damage
The scythe does more damage to targets without a helmet, and the jousting lance does more damage to riding entities.
Auto crossbow
The auto crossbow shoots standard arrows in rapid succession without reloads, at less damage than a normal crossbow.
