NorseMC
NorseMC brings Norse mythology into Minecraft through Mjolnir, Thor's Hammer, along with new items, blocks, materials and armor themed on the Norse setting.
What it does
Mjolnir is the central item: a right click calls down lightning, while a left click performs a one-shot attack on a target. Other items, blocks and materials join it, including Bone Steel, a crafting material used for weapons and armor, and Red Gold, which serves as a currency for the gods. Armor made from Bone Steel gives buffs while worn, and drops from the player appear when the player dies.
NorseMC is the first mod of the RiordanMC Series and is credited to the Rick Riordan books on Magnus Chase. It runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and, in earlier builds, 1.18. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is released under All rights reserved, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
