Weapons Plus
Weapons Plus, a Fabric mod by ThatGuyIsReed, adds new weapon types and enhances existing swords and bows without changing the vanilla combat feel.
What it does
The mod adds a set of new weapons, styled to match the original look of Minecraft, and improves the swords and bows already in the game. Its stated aim is to give players a wider arsenal while keeping the classic feel of combat. New items such as a rusty saw and a rusty ingot are planned, with more crafting recipes to follow.
Weapons Plus needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric 1.20.6 only. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. The project is open source under the MIT License, with a public source code repository and an issue tracker. The latest file, 1.0.5, was published on 2024-07-15, and the mod was first released on 2024-07-05.
The author describes the mod as being in heavy beta, so features and mechanics may change as the project refines them based on player feedback.
