Tales from the Dune
by BaconDragon
Tales from the Dune adds a small set of desert content to Fabric, built around a scimitar that launches enemies into the air.
What it does
Dune Shards drop from desert pyramids, and players obtain Dune Souls by defeating Husks. Combining the two produces Essence Dune, and a Dune Light is crafted from these materials to repair the Sandwarrior's Scimitar. The Dune Light is used in the desert at night, so a player should prepare before using it.
The mod adds one new weapon, the Sandwarrior's Scimitar, along with four new items. Warriors of the sand carry a one-in-three chance of dropping the scimitar. Hitting an enemy with it launches the target into the air, a practical way to isolate enemies. Pressing the right mouse button launches the player into the air in the direction of the view, and the player returns to standing after a successful hit. Falling from a height is safer when the player hits an enemy at the last moment before landing.
Tales from the Dune requires Fabric API and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest Fabric file.
