Simple Weaponry
Simple Weaponry adds clubs, daggers, hammers and a throwable dynamite item to NeoForge for 1.21.1, extending the sword-and-axe options of vanilla Minecraft.
What it does
The mod introduces a set of melee and throwable weapons that sit alongside the vanilla tools. Clubs are a weapon type that deals heavy damage and inflicts slowness, followed by long cooldowns between swings, and two variants, wooden clubs and studded clubs, are included. Daggers deal extra damage when they strike an enemy from behind, and hammers break a 3x3 area of blocks with each use. Daggers and hammers come at a vanilla tier, so they can be crafted and compared with the existing tools.
Dynamite is a throwable explosive that can be crafted from TNT blocks, with a weaker effect than the original. The mod's files are built for NeoForge only and target 1.21.1. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from its project page.
Key features
Clubs
Clubs deal heavy damage and apply slowness, then leave the wielder with a long cooldown before the next swing.
Daggers
Daggers do extra damage when they hit an enemy from behind, and they are placed at a vanilla tier.
Hammers
Hammers break a 3x3 area of blocks in one use, which speeds up clearing a wall or a patch of ground.
Dynamite
A throwable explosive that works like a weaker TNT, crafted directly from TNT blocks.

Use cases
Survival combat
Players who want heavier or stealth-oriented melee options than the vanilla sword can use clubs and daggers during fights.
Mining and clearing
Hammers suit players who clear blocks in a wider area than a pickaxe covers, such as walls or flat ground.
Who it’s for: Players who want additional melee and throwable weapons on NeoForge 1.21.1, and server owners who can add the mod for every player on their world.
How it compares
MY's Advanced Weaponry is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, under All rights reserved and not open source. Serpent weaponry also targets NeoForge 1.21.1 with client and server environment, but it is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Weaponery runs on NeoForge for 1.21.4 and is also All rights reserved, so it does not share Simple Weaponry's game version.
