FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds a new weapon type: a set of katanas modeled on Japanese swords, with their own materials and recipes. The collection is aimed at players who want a sword type beyond the vanilla ones, and it can be used in survival and in adventure play on a server.

Small Knife is published only for Fabric and only for Minecraft 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The author states the mod is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source, and no other version is planned in the listing.

The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published 2025-03-28 on the alpha channel, and the project's first and last update date are the same day. No dependencies are required, and no Fabric API or other library is listed.

Key features

  1. Japanese-style katanas

    Katana-shaped swords join the game as a new weapon type, separate from the vanilla sword line.

  2. Custom weapon resources

    The katanas use their own crafting resources, so they are obtained through their own recipes.

  3. Weapon collection

    The katanas form a set of several blades rather than one sword, giving players more than one option.

What the author says

I don't have a team and I work alone, but I'm ready to delight you with new cool mods. This mod was created to show you that I'm here, I'm alive and ready to take on this difficult (in my opinion) job again.
