Unbound Combat
by Rage-Kondo
Unbound Combat adds an ancient dagger to Fabric worlds for 1.20.1, a weapon that can parry an incoming attack and stores damage for later.
What it does
The mod adds the Ancient Dagger as a new melee weapon. Ancient Daggers can be found in Nether Fortresses, and the dagger lets a player parry an oncoming attack. Each hit on an enemy spends stored damage, so the effect is limited and the weapon needs careful use. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1 alone, with 1.1 as the latest file.
Optional dependencies are Backported Spears and Faithful Mace, which add extra content when installed beside Unbound Combat. The source code is public, but the mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
