Weapon Class
by TheMrCrow
Weapon Class adds Forge weapons and trinkets with interactive abilities, and a player combines them into different builds for combat on 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod overhauls combat with new weapon classes that interact with one another in unique ways. Each weapon and trinket carries an in-game ability description, and the important interactive keywords, such as Shockwave, appear in brackets so they stand out in the tooltip. After crafting sticks, the recipe book shows the weapon recipes, and some weapons and trinkets can also be found in chests.
Abilities are tied to conditions. Falling triggers a Shockwave hit, attacks against mobs below 50% health grant Haste, and a battle axe's Cleave follows a 45-block move. Weapon Class is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is distributed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Only the server and players who join it need the mod to run the content together. Latest file 1.4.3 for 1.20.1, released 2026-02-13.
Key features
Combination builds
Weapons and trinkets can be combined, so a player can shape a different build around each set of abilities.
Condition-based abilities
Abilities trigger on falling, on attacks against wounded mobs, or after a set distance, as listed in each item's description.
Executioner's Sword and Battle Axe
The Executioner's Sword grants Haste when it strikes a mob below half health, and the Battle Axe Cleaves after a 45-block move.
Trinkets with interactive abilities
Trinkets such as Spring Boots, Weighted Bracers and Hand Fan add effects like Jump boost, knockback immunity and Invisibility.

Use cases
Building a combat build
A player can mix weapons and trinkets to suit a melee, mobility or stealth playstyle.
Exploring for loot
Some weapons and trinkets are placed in chests, so exploration can supply parts of a build.
Who it’s for: Players who want combat with weapon-specific abilities and build variety on Forge 1.20.1, and server owners who can run the mod alongside other class or weapon mods.
How it compares
Soul Classes and The Classes Mod both target 1.20.1 on Forge with a client and server environment, but Weapon Class focuses on weapons and trinkets rather than class systems. Huanle's Weapons is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and also targets 1.20.1 on Forge with a client and server environment, so it is the option to choose when source access matters.
