Weaponsmith
Weaponsmith reworks how trim templates are applied, letting players give swords, tridents and axes new effects, cooldowns and textures through the smithing table.
What it does
Trims are normally cosmetic on armor. Weaponsmith extends the idea to weapons: a netherite sword can be placed in a smithing table with a smithing template and a gem color chosen by the player, producing a trimmed sword with its own behavior. The mod's main purpose is this new use of trims, and each trim carries different powers, cooldowns and textures. Some entries are small: an instant trident with more punch, an enderpearl throw, a short resistance buff for ten seconds, and a knockback reduction.
Only a few of the trim options are available at the moment, and the author notes that other entries exist in the code for unused future updates, so some items can be seen in the game without being obtainable. Weaponsmith is built for Forge and runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need the mod. It is for the 1.20.1 release only, with the latest file, 1.2.0, dated 2024-04-15, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
