VanillaWeapons

by Blehhhhh

VanillaWeapons adds vanilla-styled swords and axes for each material tier, with a charged heavy strike, a slowing charge, and mob-kill rewards.

FabricForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Each material tier gets its own weapon set, with attack damage running from wooden at 4 up to netherite at 12 and 10 on the netherite variants. Holding the right mouse button prepares a heavy strike, and releasing it lands a high-damage blow. A charged hit applies Slowness II for a short stagger, and the slow penalty while charging drops by 10% per level of the Weighty Blade enchantment.

Crouching and hitting a mob pulls it toward the player. Killing a mob restores 5% of maximum health, while mobs killed drop double experience orbs and no item drops. Health leech increases by 2.5% per level, and there is a level cap that limits progression. The weapons are meant to repair gear without filling the inventory.

A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, for the single version 1.20.1. The code is all rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
