Spellbound Weapons
by limesplatus
Spellbound Weapons adds 20 weapons that give players new ways to fight mobs beyond the usual progression through ore tiers.
What it does
Each of the 20 weapons has its own rarity, special quirks and situations where it performs well, so a player can pick the weapon that suits a particular playstyle. Weapons can be found naturally in survival mode, and the item list can be opened with a function command to view every weapon and its commands.
Spellbound Weapons is a mod that the server must run, while players may leave it out and still join. Settings are changed through a settings function command in chat. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also as a data pack, covering 1.19 – 1.21.10. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source. A wiki describes each weapon, what it does and how to obtain it.
Key features
Twenty new weapons
The mod adds 20 weapons, each intended as a distinct way to fight mobs instead of a simple step up the ore tiers.
Individual rarities
Every weapon carries its own rarity and special quirks, so finding them changes how a fight is approached.
Natural discovery
Weapons generate in survival play and do not need a command to obtain, though the item list command shows them all.
Chat settings command
A settings function command lets the server adjust the mod's options from chat.
