War weapons
by GuruOrGoru
War weapons adds medieval-styled weapons, survival food and wood-processing tools built around historical warfare, all for Fabric on 1.21.11.
What it does
The War Weapons mod brings medieval weapons, survival items and specialized tools into the game, aiming at combat and survival play. Its weapons draw on historical warfare, and it includes an axe built for close combat. A curved blade is modeled on the weapons favored by Gurkha warriors. Players can also strip logs with a tool that yields wood, bark and stripped wood, which makes gathering resources more efficient.
Preserved meat is a survival food: eating it grants strength, and it offers beneficial effects that help when resources are short. Some weapons cannot damage mobs, a unique mechanic that changes how players fight. The mod suits player-versus-player scenarios and specialized combat styles, and it fits adventure play that keeps to the vanilla feel.
Installation needs Fabric. War Weapons is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source, and its environment is client and server, meaning the server and every player need the mod. Its only published build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-01-22, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
