Zoni's Anime Weapons
by ZoniCraft
Zoni's Anime Weapons, a Forge mod by ZoniCraft, adds weapons inspired by anime, games and fiction, with new ores, crops, armor sets, structures and enemies to the world.
What it does
The mod brings in more than 240 weapons drawn from series such as Sword Art Online, Genshin Impact and Fate, along with 34 Genshin-style artifact sets and 7 new armor sets. Weapons can be upgraded into ascended forms by combining a base weapon with an Ascending Crystal at a Smithing Table. Ascended weapons in the same category share attack speed, so a favorite weapon can be used without losing that bonus.
Worldgen additions include 2 new ores, 3 new crops, 3 SAO Crystals, 6 new structures and 4 new enemies. Loot is influenced by Heroic Armory loot bags, so the new weapons appear in chests and rewards. The mod is aimed at RPG modpacks and servers where weapons are a main source of progress, and it is compatible with Better Combat after version 3.9.3.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1, with files also covering 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, and is released under the MIT License. It is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, since it changes recipes, items and worldgen on both sides.
