Scarlet Dagger
by Boouko
Scarlet Dagger is a Forge weapon mod that adds a dagger made from a new gemstone and a bloody netherite variant.
What it does
The dagger is crafted from Scarlet Metal, a well hardened bloody netherite ingot, and the mod introduces two new materials for the blade. Carrying a second bloody netherite ingot in the inventory drains life from the player and applies weakness. Its magical properties let the wielder set a target on fire on impact, though the player takes damage from the dagger while doing so.
Both sides need the mod, since it runs on client and server. Better Combat is an optional dependency that the mod can work with. Files target Forge for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and not open source.
