Strength SMP - Season IV

by ShadowSilver-

Strength SMP - Season IV is a server-side progression mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt that changes how sword, bow and strength-based combat works.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.5 – 26.3

What it does

Sword hits begin to count once a player sprints and performs a knockback attack, and the bow carries a passive effect. Strength recipes remain available even beyond +3 Strength, so progression continues past that point. Commands show the Strength Level of the currently selected weapon, set a chosen Strength amount through withdrawing, and activate a weapon's special ability.

The mod requires Silver's Datapack Tags Library | DTL and Silver's Effects Library | EL. Silver's Project Info | PI and Strength Restrictions - Season IV are optional. Some features run as a datapack on the server, so certain limitations apply compared with a full mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21.5 – 26.3. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Public issue tracking is available.

Key features

  1. Sprint knockback sword hits

    Sword attacks count when the player is sprinting and lands a knockback hit, which shapes how melee combat plays out.

  2. Passive bow effect

    The bow carries a passive effect that applies while it is used, separate from the usual draw and shot.

  3. Strength level command

    A command displays the Strength Level tied to the weapon the player currently holds.

  4. Special ability commands

    Commands activate a weapon's special ability, and a further command sets a chosen Strength amount when withdrawing.

What the author says

Simple! my pack is by far the most accurate(_In my Opinion of Course._)... but since this is a datapack some features on the real server will not be here because of limitations of course. Now. I wont spoil anything, if your a fan of the strength smp, you should probably be able to figure it out.
