OP Scythes
OP Scythes is an Equipment mod that adds a set of scythes with a fixed attack damage and attack speed, each applying a different status effect to the mobs it hits.
What it does
The mod adds eight scythes in total, plus two miscellaneous items. The scythes come in dye-based colors, with a rainbow scythe included as well. Each scythe has 24 attack damage, and the older scythe recipes have been reworked. Hitting a mob with a red scythe applies Slowness II, orange applies Strength II, yellow applies Resistance II, green applies Water Breathing II, blue applies Speed II, purple applies Jump Boost II, pink applies a night-vision effect, and the rainbow scythe applies Regeneration II.
The mod is distributed for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.16.5 – 1.21.8 across seven release versions. The server and every player need the mod installed. The license is AFL-3.0, and the code is not open source. The most recent files are 2.0.8 for NeoForge 1.21.8, released on 2025-08-27, and 2.0.8 for Forge 1.19.4, released on 2023-06-06. The mod was first published on 2023-01-26.
