Withers Weapons
by witherlord00
Withers Weapons adds a large set of melee weapons, bows and tools to NeoForge, with a number of them built around the Wither and the Nether.
What it does
The mod adds many weapons with different roles: swords, maces, bows, a scythe and a staff. Some are aimed at combat, such as a sword that deals heavy damage to dark monsters in a few hits, while others serve exploration or farming. Certain weapons carry special abilities, including a mace that launches enemies and a sword that fires shadow fireballs and grants immunity to the Wither.
Weapons are found in the world as well as crafted. Some of them are tied to structures, and a few need specific items before they can be used. Mobs can be controlled through a tag so that the mod's extra damage affects only the chosen creatures. The author notes that updates, bug fixes and balance changes will continue to arrive, and that ports to other Minecraft versions are still planned.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it installed. It is published for NeoForge only, with a single game version, 1.21.1, and its latest file is 2.7.1. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. The author provides an issue tracker for reports.
