Siege Weapons
by talhanation
Siege Weapons lets players build and fire catapults, ballistae and other siege engines in survival and multiplayer worlds on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Siege engines are built from craftable parts and then used to launch projectiles along arcs that follow realistic trajectories. Several projectile types are available, including cobble clusters and a set of mini rocks that each deal 20 damage, while the heaviest shots reach 50 damage. Recipes can be customized, so server owners can shape how the weapons are obtained.
The mod is aimed at players who want a medieval war theme in their world: preparing a battle, building the engines on site, and then dominating a battlefield with them. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it needs to be installed on the client and on the server, so every player who joins a server running it also needs it. All rights reserved applies to the code, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Catapults and ballistae
Functional catapults and ballistae are the first siege engines, with more siege engines planned for later updates.
Projectile types
Cobble clusters and a set of 12 mini rocks give players different damage profiles to choose from.
Realistic trajectories
Projectiles follow physics-based arcs, so aim and launch force decide where a shot lands.
Customizable recipes
Crafting recipes for the weapons and projectiles can be changed to fit a server's progression.
