by TheKingOfNerds

Sticks are Weapons turns stick-type items into weapons that can be used in combat, with a damage buff for each one.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 only1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Stick-type items gain a damage buff that makes them usable as weapons. The flint item is also buffed, dealing 3 damage for 1 heart of damage in the latest version. From 26.1 on, rods also receive effects similar to fire aspect, knockback and breeze rods, and enchanted rods are shown in a blue name color in the creative inventory. The effects are applied by modifying loot tables, so another data pack can override them and change which custom loot is dropped.

The mod is server required, so the server needs it while players may add it on their client for the same behavior. It is distributed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and is not open source, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Data pack installation is also available for server platforms.

What the author says

In the latest version, also buffs the flint item by 1 heart (to 3 damage or 1.5 hearts). For 26.1.X and later, adds an effect similar to fire aspect (blaze) and knockback (breeze) to those rods.
