TKVM Weapons
TKVM Weapons adds medieval melee weapons to Forge, with a new starite tier and netherite upgrades that use a nether star template.
What it does
Seventeen weapons in a semi-realistic medieval European style are added, with some artistic license. The weapons draw on the variety of melee sets seen in games such as Chivalry, Mordhau and vanilla-style mods. The new starite tier brings a wooden-starite line and 112 weapon variations in total.
Netherite weapons can be upgraded with a smithing template made from a nether star, giving the nether star a use beyond the beacon. Handle pole and leather strip items were added to help avoid recipe overlaps with other mods. The author recommends using it alongside TKVM Wither, which makes nether stars harder to farm, and suggests EMI or JEI to view the crafting recipes. The author also notes compatibility with a combat enhancement mod and includes Epic Fight compatibility.
