steel tube
by xuxu156
Steel tube is a small Fabric equipment mod that adds two kinds of steel pipe, both built as playful combat items for players and servers.
What it does
Steel Pipe is the common variant and deals 10 damage in combat. Steel Pipe Plus is the stronger variant and throws out an explosion that deals 15 damage. The two pipes are added as separate items, so a world can use either one without the other.
The mod is described by its author as meme-oriented, with noisy content and a light tone rather than a serious progression system. Its notes say further content is planned, and the code was generated with MCreator. Steel tube runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is open source.
Key features
Steel Pipe weapon
A common steel pipe that deals 10 damage when used in combat.
Steel Pipe Plus weapon
A second pipe that throws out an explosion dealing 15 damage, adding a louder option to melee play.
Two pipe types
The steel pipes are formulated as two separate types, each with its own behavior and damage.
Noisy, playful content
The items lean toward joke and meme-style use rather than a serious balance pass.

How it compares
Steel and Flint is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, running on client and server, under All rights reserved and not open source, so its code cannot be reused. Steel Weapons and Armour! is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6, also client and server, but it is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Both differ from steel tube in version range and in how much of the weapon set they cover.
