Pale Arsenal
by HalfApollo
Pale Arsenal is a NeoForge combat mod for 1.21.1 that adds new equipment, a Palesteel material and an ability system that rewards hitting enemies from the air.
What it does
Hitting an enemy that is above the player in the air launches the player upwards and grants a Charge, up to a maximum of 3. Right-clicking spends a Charge to perform a short dash. Avoiding damage for 5 seconds grants the Flow status effect, which raises attack and movement speed, and taking damage removes it. Charges restore over time, one every 2 seconds up to the maximum.
The mod adds a new material called Palesteel, reached through Pale Ore found below y -55 and mined with a Diamond Pickaxe or better. Cooking raw Pale Ore in a furnace turns it into Refined Pale Ore, and pairing two Netherite Scraps with two Refined Pale Ore in a crafting grid makes a Palesteel Ingot. The material is used for a Palesteel Sword, a Palesteel Chakram, a Palesteel Armor set and three material blocks. Each weapon is crafted from four Palesteel Ingots and a Breeze Rod. Throwing the Chakram with right-click spends a Charge, and the thrown weapon launches the player upwards. The full armor set carries its own ability.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Pale Arsenal is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. It targets NeoForge only, with version 1.0.1 for 1.21.1 published on 2025-11-30. It was first published on 2025-11-29 and was inspired by Content SMP.
