Warium
by Novum
Warium adds Forge weapons, cannons, bombs and nuclear explosives for 1.20.1, along with the machinery that produces them, in a semi-vanilla style.
What it does
The mod covers warfare from small arms to artillery. Its content includes 17 hand weapons, from pistols to machine guns, and 9 block cannons. A modular ordinance system builds bombs, rockets, torpedoes and nukes, and two nuclear weapons are included: a fission bomb and a fusion bomb. Machines for producing the weapons and ordinance are part of the same set, and four structures exist in the world.
Enemies are a notable part of the content. Eleven AI enemies appear as player-versus-environment opponents, ranging from a walking armored quadruped carrying a machine gun to a stationary mortar placed at the edge of a machine raid. The largest is a boss modeled on a main battle tank. Block weapons are fully compatible with Valkyrian Skies 2, a pairing the author recommends.
Warium requires Ponder, Create or other companions only for the addons that depend on them; the core mod is listed on Forge for game version 1.20.1 and is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Development is ongoing, and the author notes that many features remain unfinished.
