Sniff's weapons
by sniffiandros
Sniff's Weapons adds a set of Forge weapons with special attacks and effects, meant to vary how players fight in Minecraft.
What it does
Each weapon in the mod has a distinct combat mechanic. The great sword deals more damage than a normal sword, and its sweep attack applies fire damage when the Fire Aspect enchantment is present. A shift attack with it launches an opponent into the air. The great axe deals more damage than a normal axe, and a critical hit releases a shockwave that damages nearby mobs. The great pickaxe lets the player block for a short time, and a longer block carries a longer cooldown before the next block; a critical hit slams the enemy into the ground.
Weapons from the mod can be found as loot in several generated structures, which lets players collect them during exploration. The mod runs on Forge only, with files for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it. Sniff's Weapons is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.
