The Dungeon Experience
by Dashy22
The Dungeon Experience brings Minecraft Dungeons-style weapons, armor and combo feedback into 1.21.1 NeoForge worlds.
What it does
Content is added in a vanilla-like way, so new items sit alongside the game's own tools and armor rather than in a separate menu. A small text line above the hotbar shows the current combo status, including whether a combo succeeded or failed. The author notes that the wording of this text can be changed through the mod's config, and that the text can be fully customized.
The mod adds two weapon sets: Master's Katana and Dark Katana, along with Wolf Armor, Thief Armor and Ochre Wood, which brings boats, doors, buttons and other wood blocks in a dull orange-red tone. The author plans to add one complete set at a time in future updates. The mod requires NeoForge and runs on the client and the server together, so both sides need it installed. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.1 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest file.
Key features
Combo status display
A line above the hotbar reports the current combo and whether it succeeded or failed, and its text can be changed in the config.
Master's Katana and Dark Katana
Two katanas with fast attacks, combo bonuses and a chance for extra damage, one using redstone dust and the other amethyst in its recipe.
Wolf and Thief armor
Wolf Armor raises movement speed and pet damage per piece, while Thief Armor adds attack speed by piece, with separate values for each part.
Ochre Wood set
A new wood type with boats, doors, buttons and most other wood blocks, colored dull orange-red.

Who it’s for: Players who enjoy Minecraft Dungeons-style melee combat on NeoForge 1.21.1, and server owners who want a combo display they can reword.
How it compares
MaceAddons adds mace content for NeoForge across 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License, and is not open source. Aerial Combat is also a Client and server NeoForge mod under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.4, and is not open source. The Dungeon Experience covers only 1.21.1, which is narrower than either.

A mod that tries to add content from minecraft dungeons in the most vanilla way possible. I was very annoyed at how most mc dungeon mods have clunky models and simple textures ripped straight from the game. This mod is very new and has very little content for now but the systems are in place for future updates. (if I…
