The Banhammer

by TheAxolotlLord

The Banhammer is a Forge and NeoForge equipment mod built around a hammer that players upgrade with scripture scrolls found across the world.

What it does

Scripture scrolls generate throughout the world, and applying one to a hammer grants a buff tied to that hammer. The author describes the system as going well beyond the usual hammer items in vanilla Minecraft. Some of the 16 buffs can only be applied to hammers of a certain level, so the progression depends on which hammer a player has already crafted or found.

Scrolls can also be colored, which gives players a way to tell their scripture apart. Installation is straightforward: the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge and NeoForge files are published for 1.20.1 and 26.1.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.

Working video of the mod was promised by the author, and the page notes that more information is to come. Nothing about the buffs or scrolls is confirmed beyond the descriptions listed here.
