- Sharper Than Steel -
A pack full of mythical weapons designed by myself and some friends! Use the power of Netherite, Dragon's Breath, and Echo Shards to craft Durasteel, a powerful material for the most legendary of items.
This mod was made with the help of MCreator.
- Features -
- New mythical weapons with unique abilities!
- A tough new set of armor!
- New equippable trinkets for use with the Curios mod!
- New enchantments!
- Plenty of new ingredients!
- Lots of advancements to strive for!
- A toilet
- And more!
- Future Plans -
- More weapons
- More equippables
- Possible integration with more mods
- Important Notes -
As stated before, these weapons were all designed by and for myself and some friends. Please do not ask me to add a specific weapon to the mod.
While not required, the Better Combat and Create mods are highly recommended to be used with this mod. The weapons were designed with Better Combat in mind, and Create's mechanical crafting system is required in order to craft one of the weapons.
