Obliteration Scythe
by ApolloAxo
Obliteration Scythe adds a giant scythe for Forge with an extremely expensive recipe and several unusual abilities.
What it does
The scythe deals a very high attack damage value and is built as an oversized weapon, in the style of older Minecraft mods that featured giant overpowered weapons. Its recipe is deliberately costly, requiring a series of Absolute Purity recipe steps, so crafting it is a long project rather than an early-game task.
Striking an entity calls down lightning on it, and the strikes alert nearby players to the location. Right-clicking with the scythe launches an explosion in the area around the player. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.3.0 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Scythes Of Death is a Forge scythe mod for 1.20.1, also client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved rather than the MIT License. Classic Scythe covers 1.20.1 on Forge under the MIT License, also needing client and server. XYZ Scythes is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, which reaches beyond this mod's single version.
