Quartermaster
by Apostasy
Quartermaster adds five tiered weapons, a relic tier for them, and a set of enchantment-style protections to Fabric worlds.
What it does
Its weapons include a rapier and a cutlass, and the cutlass can disarm a target so it cannot attack, rather than pushing it away. Disarm is triggered by landing a combo on an opponent whose weapon tier needs more hits. Relic-tier weapons are crafted from a relic handle, which comes from ruined handles found in buried treasure, archaeology, or brushing and grindstone steps.
The mod also adds protections, including frost, stun, magic and impact protection, and flintlock firearms with custom loading and shooting animations. Flintlocks turn up in buried treasure chests loaded with ammunition. Quartermaster is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it runs on client and server. The source code is public. Builds cover game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.0.8 for 26.3, published 2026-10-15.
