Sunbreaking
by brandrobkus
Sunbreaking, a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, brings Destiny-style hammers, glaives, bows and subclass-inspired weapon mechanics into Minecraft.
What it does
Sunbreaking takes its design from the Destiny game series, and its author describes the mod as an attempt to bring Supers and Subclasses into Minecraft. Three subclasses are modeled on the Sunbreaker, Nightstalker and Stormcaller, and players equip the matching weapon and armor to take on their aspects and fragments. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric on 1.20.1 only.
The additions are mostly weapons. A throwing hammer hits slightly less hard than an axe and is thrown like a trident, and a loyalty enchantment is exclusive to it. Glaives extend the sword family, so existing sword enchantments apply to them, and a damage enchantment is similar to Sharpness but trades away speed, throwing distance or extra damage for an ability such as disarming shields. Players can also raise a bow into a Shadowshot, which fires slightly stronger arrows, and a Shadowshot Node creates a field that applies Weakness, Slowness and Glowing to anything inside it.
Sunbreaking runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Key features
Throwing hammer
A hammer that can be thrown, hitting slightly less hard than an axe and returning like a trident.
Glaives and enchantments
Glaives extend the sword family, so sword enchantments apply to them, and the damage enchantments trade speed or range for extra effects.
Shadowshot bow
A bow upgrade that fires slightly stronger, faster arrows and toggles between Shadowshot and regular arrows with the R key.
Shadowshot Node
A node placed where the arrow lands creates a field that applies Weakness, Slowness and Glowing to anything caught inside it.
Subclass-based weapons
Three subclass sets modeled on Destiny, each tied to a weapon and armor that a player equips to slot aspects and fragments.
