Ronin
by 1KaRaS4
Ronin adds a katana to Forge 1.19.2, a Japanese sword that attacks faster than the regular Minecraft swords, along with a new steel-based crafting path.
What it does
The katana is a long Japanese sword that strikes faster than the vanilla swords but deals slightly less damage per hit. A right-click jerk ability is added to the weapon, with a delay of 3 seconds between uses. Players craft a katana from steel, iron, gold or netherite ingots combined with a tamahagane blade, so the weapon stands between the ordinary swords and the rarer materials in the game.
Tamahagane is a new metal that is smelted at a Smithing Table. Its raw input is black sand found underground, which has to be melted in a furnace before it becomes tamahagane. The author describes tamahagane as a precious steel known since the early Middle Ages, and the mod ties its place in crafting to that story.
Ronin runs on Forge only and is built for 1.19.2 alone. Its latest file is 1.1.0, released on 2024-09-03 on the alpha channel. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
