Rudih's Vanilla+ Weapon Expansion
by Rudihmc
Rudih's Vanilla+ Weapon Expansion adds a handful of combat items to Minecraft, including a greatsword, a spadeblade, a prismarine falchion and a set of tattered armor.
What it does
The greatsword is a high-damage, low-attack-speed sword dropped rarely by Wither Skeletons, and the spadeblade behaves like a netherite shovel with half the durability. Piglins can also carry a weapon of this kind with a slightly higher chance than Wither Skeletons hold the greatsword. The prismarine falchion is found in shrines scattered around deep oceans, and it has the same stats as a diamond sword.
Striking a target with the falchion applies weakness to it, and right-clicking the sword clears mining fatigue, nausea and blindness while giving the user dolphin's grace for five seconds. Tattered armor is derived from the ancient city armor set, with two less defense than diamond but the same toughness; wearing the full suit grants immunity to darkness and indefinite invisibility. The mod is for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.8, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
