Weapons of Rome
Weapons of Rome adds nine melee and throwing weapon types modeled on arms used in the Roman Empire, from the gladius to the pilum and the dagger.
What it does
The nine weapon types are crafted in the wood, stone, copper, iron, gold and diamond tiers and as upgraded netherite versions, so each tier has a matching set. The trident is a three-pronged weapon that keeps the vanilla sword damage and speed while gaining one extra block of interaction range and accepting trident enchantments. The short sword is slightly weaker and faster than the default sword, and the longer sword is slightly stronger and slower.
Several entries are built around the way they were used. The javelin is heavy and bends on impact, so it cannot be reused on a shield, while the throwing darts are a weak, stackable ranged option carried in the reverse of a shield. The heavy dagger doubles as a utility tool and a fallback in chaotic melees. The curved short sword and large dagger, favored by Thraex gladiators, are low-damage weapons that disable shields on hit. The giant shield is a slow, heavy block.
Installation needs Aquarius Libs and Pisces Libs on every loader. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 26.2, with builds covering 1.21.9 – 26.2 across seven release versions. It is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
