Weird Equipment
by VioletRoses
Weird Equipment adds a set of odd tools and armor, from a torch-firing bow to a bucket that never runs dry, and each item has a small practical effect.
What it does
The Torch Bow fires torches that light the ground where they land, and the Rope Coils drop ropes wherever a thrown coil lands, which helps with climbing up places. The Bottomless Water Bucket never empties, and the Large Lava Bucket holds the equivalent of nine buckets of lava. The Slingshot launches its target in the direction opposite to the player's look, and the Cactus Sword is an early-game weapon that deals a little damage on each hit. The Jack o'Helmet gives off ambient light with little protection, and a torch held in the offhand adds to that light.
The mod needs Architectury API. Cloth Config API is optional for its settings screen, and LambDynamicLights - Dynamic Lights and RyoamicLights are optional for dynamic lighting. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Weird Equipment is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.19 – 1.20.2, and it is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Torch Bow
The bow shoots torches that are placed where they land, giving light in dark spots.
Rope Coils
A thrown coil places ropes where it lands, so players can climb walls and ceilings more readily.
Bottomless Water Bucket
The water bucket is never emptied, so it can be used again and again without refilling.
Large Lava Bucket
The lava bucket holds nine buckets' worth of lava in a single item.
