What it does

Daggers appear in dungeon-style structures, in chests and on certain mobs, and they are considered fairly common finds. Each weapon has its own combat profile: the dagger swings faster than a normal sword, carries a lighter attack damage penalty, and trades a shorter reach for speed. Critical hits with it deal extra damage, and the cutlass has a rare variant that can be dug up from buried treasure chests.

The pack includes a short set of achievements that track the new weapons, such as obtaining a cutlass or dealing heavy damage with a polearm, which reduces its durability. The datapack ships with a resource pack; it is attached to the datapack version, and the resource pack is only needed when the mod package is not in use. The server must run the datapack, while players may install the matching resource pack for the textures.

Key features

Dagger stats
Daggers attack faster than a standard sword and cost some attack damage, with a reduced reach of half a block.
Critical hits
The Lethal III effect on daggers increases the damage of critical hits.
Cutlass variant
A secret cutlass variant can be obtained from buried treasure chests.
Achievements
Advancements such as Certified Pirate, Sharpened Edge and Stabbing Device reward obtaining or using the new weapons.
