What it does

The author describes the goal as bringing a range of unique weapons to the game, both before and after reaching the end game, with new ways of using them. The project is a Java rewrite started from the ground up, and the page notes that development is paused and the description is still being written. Updates are not expected until the next release is ready.

Several weapon designs are described in the author text: a long sword that attacks slowly but hits hard because of its size, and a sword crafted from Netherite, slimeballs and arcanite bars. Some weapons carry additional effects. The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.2.2 as the latest file, published on 2024-09-01.

Key features

  1. Unique weapons

  3. Crafted weapon recipes

  4. Additional effects

    Certain weapons add extra effects on top of their damage, as noted in the author text.
