Weapon Enhancing
by Ghost
With Weapon Enhancing, a player on Forge can upgrade iron, gold, diamond and netherite weapons through three tiers of enhancement templates.
What it does
The mod adds upgrades aimed at improving player-versus-player fights. It introduces 24 weapons in total, 18 of them unique, including a dagger with invincibility frames, a long axe and a broadsword with natural knockback. Each upgrade tier is built around a template, and every template has its own crafting path, so progress through the mod is spread across several steps.
Template fragments are found in a new structure generated in taigas, and a new villager type is added alongside it. Tier one templates are crafted from nine of the matching materials. Tier two requires placing a template inside a cage and covering the cage, using powdered snow on its sides. Tier three weapons are crafted with their own exclusive enchantments.
Weapon Enhancing is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1, so servers run without it and players install it alone. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
