This mod simply adds more weapon types that fit in with vanilla. This mod focuses on quality over quantity and doesn’t add a lot of weapons<\/del>, however every weapon brings something new to the table. This mod currently includes 8 new weapons, 7 with special abilities. * Special abilities can be disabled in the config<\/span><\/p>\n

These weapons are balanced around the Better Combat mod, however you can use this mod without it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’ve played the mod before and want to help with balancing, please fill out this short poll. (Thank you)<\/p>\n

Claws<\/strong> – low damage, hitting entities gives temporary small speed boost, each hit increases speed boost more (will be capped). <\/span><\/p>\n

One handed<\/span><\/p>\n
