Riptider
by energi22
Riptider adds twelve Fabric weapons, one ranged bow and eleven melee weapons, each with its own effect when it hits or is used.
What it does
The mod is built for servers and singleplayer worlds alike. Each weapon is a separate item with its own behavior: the Breeze rod with a copper handle grants levitation on right click, the Shadow dagger and Glass dagger are short melee blades, and the Diamond Spear is the choice for reach. Several weapons apply status effects to the entity they strike, such as Blindness and Weakness, while others change how the player moves or fights, such as the Void Reaper's dash near entities.
Riptider runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for the single game version 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2026-04-05. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Key features
Twelve weapons
The set holds one ranged weapon, a bow with custom arrows, and eleven melee weapons spread across swords, daggers, spears and axes.
Effects on hit
Several weapons inflict status effects, including Blindness, Weakness and Slowness, on the entity they strike or on nearby targets.
Shield-breaking axe
The Double-Headed Axe can break an opponent's shield and puts the shield on a 140-tick cooldown, and it can also lower a target's hunger.
Echo Stalkers boots
Wearing boots called Echo Stalkers while crouching with the small echo sword raises the damage the weapon deals.
Compatibility

Use cases
Server combat
Server owners can add the weapons to a multiplayer world, where players trade blows with them against other players and mobs.
Singleplayer adventure
In a single-player world, the weapons give a player more ways to fight and travel during an adventure.
Who it’s for: Players who want more melee and ranged choices in a Fabric world, including server owners who want the weapons available to every player.
