Basic Weapons adds 6 new melee weapon types of every vanilla tool material (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) to complement the existing sword and axe in Minecraft. Each weapon is balanced around damage, attack speed, crafting costs, attack reach and special effects.
If you have Better Combat installed, the weapons are also balanced around number of enemies hit and combos.
Weapons should feel unique, powerful, easy to use and fair. I made Basic Weapons because I was looking around for weapon mods that would fit seamlessly into vanilla gameplay, and didn't quite find what I was looking for. I hope that in creating Basic Weapons, I've made that search a little easier for those of you who've had a similar experience.
This high level overview should give you an idea of what each weapon is good and bad at:
| Weapon | Damage | Speed | Baseline Effect | Reach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Sword | Medium | Medium | Sweeping | Medium |
| Vanilla Axe | High | Slow | Shield Break | Medium |
| Dagger | Low | Fast | Medium | |
| Club | High | Slow | Slow target | Medium |
| Hammer | High | Very Slow | Knock target upwards | Medium |
| Spear | Medium | Medium | Very High | |
| Quarterstaff | Low | Medium | Sweeping | High |
| Glaive | High | Very Slow | Sweeping | High |
Do you want compatibility with another mod's material? Check the Public Material Pack List to see if a material pack for that mod has been created.
If it doesn't exist? No problem! You can create materialpacks with ease yourself with the Material Pack Creator web application.
Material Packs are loaded at the start of the game from the <kbd>basicweapons_materialpacks</kbd> folder in your Minecraft root directory. Make sure you add packs before loading the game up, if you add them after, they won't load.
My Bronze mod has explicit integration with Basic Weapons.
Each weapon type will receive a bronze version when both mods are installed together. No material pack required.
Basic Weapons works well as a drop-in mod to spice up the weapon variety in your adventures, but it plays especially well when paired with Better Combat.
With Better Combat installed, quarterstaves receive exciting new attack combos, daggers and clubs can be paired with other weapons for dual-wielding mayhem, and the hammer even features a fully custom attack animation.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, I recommend you try the two mods out together. Better Combat can take some getting used to at first, but it's well worth your time investment in the long term, bringing a new layer of strategy and fun to your weapon choices and fights.
For weapon stats with Better Combat integration, see below:
| Weapon | Damage | Speed | Baseline Effect | Targets | Reach | Weapon-Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Sword | Medium | Medium | Vanilla Sweeping | Multi | Medium | One-handed |
| Vanilla Axe | High | Slow | Vanilla Shield Break | Single | Medium | One-handed |
| Dagger | Low | Very Fast | Single | Medium | One-handed | |
| Club | High | Slow | Slow target | Single | Medium | One-handed |
| Hammer | High | Very Slow | Knock target upwards | Single | Medium | One-handed |
| Spear | Medium | Slow | Single | Very High | Two-handed | |
| Quarterstaff | Low | Fast | Vanilla Sweeping | Multi | High | Two-handed |
| Glaive | High | Very Slow | Vanilla Sweeping | Multi | High | Two-handed |
Might functions exactly the same as vanilla Sharpness. It increases the damage of your weapon by a flat amount based on the enchantment level. I felt that blunt weapons having Sharpness didn't make much sense, hence MightRecipes are unlocked in the vanilla recipe book when obtaining the requisite materials (e.g. picking up an iron ingot). You can also use a mod like EMI to view all recipes.Basic Weapons has no required dependencies except for the usual Fabric API/ QFAPI that most mods on Fabric and Quilt require. For an upgraded experience you can install this mod together with Better Combat for more exciting fights if you want.Yes, all three! The downloads are named for whichever modloader they're for so just take a look at the file names :)Unfortunately I don't have the time to backport Basic Weapons to earlier versions. The mod will however support each new version of Minecraft.If you find any problems with Basic Weapons, please feel encouraged to create an issue on the GitHub repository issue tracker. Bug reports are incredibly helpful, and help make Basic Weapons the best it can be.
Thank you to all the wonderful translation contributors!
