A lot has changed with this version! Find out about the changes in the changelog available here: https://modrinth.com/mod/spartan-weaponry/version/2.2.0

[IMPORTANT for the 1.12.2 version] This mod has replaced compatibility for Better Combat Rebirth with RLCombat, an updated fork of that mod. Find it here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/rlcombat.
This mod now contains version 0.7 of Mixin. This might present compatibility issues with other mods using different versions of Mixin. This should be fixable by adding this mod: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mixin-0-7-0-8-compatibility

Weapons Galore! A whole new arsenal of weaponry made for Minecraft. Inspired by Balkon's WeaponMod, it adds new versions of weapons from that mod, as well expanding the arsenal with a bunch of original weapons, including a variety of swords, polearms, blunt and ranged weapons.

Most of these weapons can be made from the five vanilla tool materials, and each type of weapon has different properties that help with combat in certain situations, such as extended reach, damage bonuses, etc.

There is now compatibility with these modded materials (as of beta-1.1):

Copper, Tin, Bronze, Steel, Silver, Invar, Platinum, Electrum, Nickel & Lead

What it has so far:

Basic Materials

To craft any weapon in the mod, you will need to make either a Handle or a Pole.

Recipes in spoiler tag below.

Handles can be crafted individually with a piece of string or 4 at a time using either leather or wool

The Leather in the above recipe can be substituted for Wool of any colour.

Poles can be crafted in a similar way.

And of course, the Wool in the Pole recipe can be substituted for Leather.

Weapon Traits (Formerly know as Weapon Properties):

Each of the weapons (with the exceptions of the Quarterstaff, Caestus, Longbow and Crossbow) have various weapon traits to give you different strategic options during combat.

Throwable

Weapons with this trait can be thrown at foes, dealing the weapon's damage to the foe it hits. Applies to the Dagger, Throwing Knife, Throwing Axe and the Javelin.

Two-Handed

Weapons with this trait are rather cumbersome to carry around and are optimally used with both hands. Attempting to use any item in your offhand will result in a Mining Fatigue effect being inflicted to the player.

Two-Handed I will inflict Mining Fatigue II, while Two-Handed II will inflict Mining Fatigue III.

Applies to the Longsword (I), Katana (I), Greatsword (II), Warhammer (I), Halberd (II) and the Pike (I)

Damage Bonus

Inflicts bonus damage to foes, depending if they have certain armour equipped or not.

Applies to the Dagger (3x to foes attacked from behind, either by melee attack or throwing it), Katana (2x to foes without Chestplate), Saber (Same as Katana), Rapier (3x to foes without any armour) and the Lance (2x to foes while the user is riding something like a horse)

Melee Block

Deflects melee damage when holding the Use key, like a Shield. Projectiles will not be blocked though.

Applies to the Parrying Dagger

Damage Absorption

Absorbs 25% of weapon damage inflicted to the user as durability damage to the weapon.

Applies to the Saber and Rapier

Reach

Weapons with this trait , due to their length, are able to hit foes from further away.

Reach II increases the hit distance even further.

Applies to the Greatsword (I), Spear (I), Halberd (I), Pike (II) and the Lance (I)

Sweep (formerly Wide Attack)

[1.14.4]

Weapons with this trait will inflict 1 attack damage (for level I), half attack damage (for level II) or full attack damage (for level III) to all targets that get hit by the sweep attack. Weapons without this trait will not have any sweep attack at all.

Applies to the Longsword(I), Saber(I), Greatsword (III), Lance(I), Glaive (II) and Quarterstaff (II)

[1.12.2 only]

Weapons with this property will inflict half attack damage (for level I) or full attack damage (for level II) to all targets that get hit by the sweep attack.

Applies to the Greatsword (II), Glaive (I) and Quarterstaff (I)

Enhanced Knockback

Weapons with this trait will knock foes further away.

Applies to the Hammer

Nauseous Blow

Inflicts the Nausea II effect on a foes the weapon hits for 5 seconds.

Applies to the Club and the Hammer

Armour Piercing

50% of the damage from a the weapon ignores the foe's armour.

Applies to the Warhammer

Shield Breach

Has a chance to make a foes shield unusable for a period of time, just like using an axe does.

Also works on Shields from other mods, like my own Spartan Shields.

Applies to the Halberd

Quick Strike

Shortens the struck foe's hurt resistance time, enabling the weapon using this property to hit the foe much more frequently than normal.

Applies to the Caestus

Versatile (Axe)

The weapon with this trait can be used as an axe.

Applies to the Battleaxe

Miscellaneous Items:

New Arrows

You can also make Arrows out of various materials such as Wood, Iron and Diamond.

Cause some bruises with Wooden Arrows, blast some Metal at your enemies with an Iron Arrow, or fling your bling with Diamond Arrows. The choice is yours!

You can even attach an Explosive Charge onto an Arrow for an Explosive Arrow. They explode on impact with a entity or a surface.

Dynamite

Dynamite can be lobbed at a short distance to either blow up your enemies or cause some damage to the terrain. Detonates after 3 seconds. Terrain damage can be disabled by the "mobGriefing" Gamerule or in the config file.

Quivers

A convenient storage solution for carrying lots of Arrows and Bolts! Comes in three varieties: Light (4 stacks), Medium (6 stacks) and Heavy(9 stacks). Right Click the item in your hand to access it's inventory.

Arrow Quiver Old 1.12.2 version (prior to 1.4.0) New version (1.12.2-1.4.0 and 1.14.x and above)

Bolt Quiver Old 1.12.2 version (prior to 1.4.0) New version (1.12.2-1.4.0 and 1.14.x and above)

Quivers passively provide Arrows or Bolts to the player from their own inventory (if there is any available) when they equip the appropriate weapon:

Bows (including the Vanilla Bow and most modded Bows) for the Arrow Quiver
Crossbows for the Bolt Quiver.

They also place the Arrows or Bolts back into the quiver when you unequip the Bow or Crossbow.

IMPORTANT: You need to place Arrows or Bolts into the appropriate Quiver before you can use them. Just right click the Quiver in your main hand to access the Quivers inventory.

Baubles (1.12.2) or Curios API (1.14.4 and above) compatible! (Optional)

These only work when in your hotbar (any hotbar slot) or in the Body Baubles or Back Curios slot.

When equipped as Baubles (1.12.2) or Curios (1.16.4), they show up on the players back. A HUD element shows up when using a Quiver with a weapon as well.

New Enchantments:

Propel (formerly Impulsion and Lightweight) - Max Levels: 3 - Increases the throwing speed of Throwing Weapons, making them fly further.
Incendiary - Max Levels: 1 - Throwing Weapons sets foes on fire. Incompatible with Hydrodynamic.
Razors Edge (formerly Sharpened) - Max Levels: 5 - Sharpness for Throwing Weapons; increases damage inflicted.
Lucky Throw (formerly Lucky Strike) - Max Levels: 3 - Looting for Throwing Weapons; increases drop rate from killed mobs.
Hydrodynamic - Max Levels: 1 - Allows Throwing Weapons to fly underwater at a slightly reduced rate. Incompatible with Incendiary.
Supercharge - Max Levels: 2 - Reduces charging time with Throwing Weapons
Expanse - Max Levels: 2 - Increases total ammo capacity for Throwing Weapons
Sharpshooter - Max Levels: 2 - Reduces aiming time with Heavy Crossbows
Collectorang - Max Levels: 4 - Allows Boomerangs to collect items and XP orbs off the ground (version 3.x only)

Requires Java 8!

The 3.x version of this mod for Minecraft 1.18.2 is currently in Beta, as there will likely need to be more fixes to be done before a full release.
