Mushroom Hammer
by babuin66754
Mushroom Hammer adds an aerial combat weapon for Forge 1.20.1 that turns the wielder's movement into knockback on impact.
What it does
Before each swing, the hammer reads the player's motion and turns it into directional force. The direction can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal, so the weapon works during falls, jumps and running alike. Vertical strength scales with 25% of the attacker's fall distance, and horizontal strength with 25% of the attacker's movement speed.
The mod is built for Forge only and is published for 1.20.1 alone, with 1.0.1 as the latest file. Both the client and the server need it, since knockback is applied on the server and every player who uses the hammer has to run the mod. The code is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features
Movement-based knockback
The hammer reads the player's motion before the swing and turns it into directional force on the target.
Aerial strikes with rebound
A successful strike in the air bounces the attacker back, so falling attacks can be chained with jumps.
Crafted like a pickaxe
The hammer is crafted in the pickaxe pattern from three red mushrooms and two sticks.
Combat stats
The hammer has 8 attack damage, 0.9 attack speed and 325 durability.

Use cases
Aerial combat
Players fight enemies from above, using falls to add vertical force to each blow.
Mobility fights
Running and diagonal jumps feed horizontal strength, so a chase can end in a knockback strike.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.20.1 who want a melee weapon that depends on movement. Server owners who run the mod need to install it alongside clients, since both sides require it.
