This datapack adds custom knife-like weapons into the game using the Origins mod.<\/p>\n
For the (awesome) knife textures please download the attached resource pack.<\/p>\n
Made for the 2025 Origins: Home Sweet Home jam<\/p>\n
## Knives
\nKnives are weak but fast weapons, and have some abilities that distinguish them from other weapons.<\/p>\n
**Parry**<\/p>\n
Knives have the ability to parry certain attacks and protectiles by timing a right-click within 3 game ticks (0.15 seconds) before being damaged, negating all damage, dealing 4 relatiation damage and pushing the attacker away. This ability has a cooldown of 2 seconds, but will be reset upon successfully performing a parry. This ability also damages the weapon if an attack connects.<\/p>\n
**Backstab**<\/p>\n
Knives deal 80% more damage when attacking from behind an enemy.<\/p>\n
**Stealth**<\/p>\n
Knives also deal 50% more damage when attacking an enemy not currently targeting you.<\/p>\n
