The Katana's Mod
by s1ght
The Katana's Mod, by s1ght, lets players craft ten katana variants that trade a little damage for a faster attack speed.
What it does
Each katana is built from a blade made of two iron tool materials and a stick at a crafting table, while the netherite versions are made through a smithing table. Some variants also need Better Nether, so the katanas that depend on it appear only when that mod is present. The author recommends Better Combat, which handles the attack timing these weapons rely on. The mod is published for Fabric only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, and the latest file is 1.1.1 for 1.20.1.
