Knights & Heraldry is a mod that aims to bring a more grounded, late medieval feel to Minecraft\u2019s arms and armour. Built on top of Better Combat, it expands the combat system to make fights feel less like simple clicking. (Better Combat is not needed, but recommended)<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find a wide range of weapons, from common tools of war like daggers and spears to rarer pieces such as arquebuses and handgonnes. Armour is detailed and customisable, giving you more control over how you prepare for battle.<\/p>\n

Combat in this mod introduces a stamina system, varied damage types, and more realistic weapon reach. Positioning matters now, stand too close or too far, and your strikes will lose their bite. These features work alongside Better Combat\u2019s animations and systems, and won\u2019t interfere with vanilla or other modded gear.<\/p>\n

Stamina<\/h1>\n

When using weapons or armour from this mod, a stamina bar will appear above your hunger bar. Actions like sprinting, jumping, attacking, and even taking hits (especially in full plate) will drain it.<\/p>\n

If your stamina runs dry, you\u2019ll be left exhausted and unable to fight back effectively, any hit you take will make your weapon drop. Pick your moments wisely, or risk being caught off guard.<\/p>\n

Armour<\/h1>\n

Armour is built in layers.<\/p>\n

First, choose a base: gambeson or mail. Each offers protection against different damage types. Gambeson fares better against bludgeoning damage type, while mail is stronger against slashing damage type.<\/p>\n

On top of that, you can add plate or brigandine pieces as accessories. These improve overall protection but come with added weight, increasing stamina usage when moving.<\/p>\n

**Gambeson:**<\/p>\n

Damage Ranges<\/h1>\n

Each weapon has its own effective range. Stand at the right distance, and you\u2019ll deal proper damage. Too close or too far, and your strikes will be weakened.<\/p>\n

**Sword:**<\/p>\n

Damage Types<\/h1>\n

There are 3 new damage types, Slashing, Piercing and Bludgeoning. Each has its place, depending on your gear.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

**Slashing:**<\/p>\n

Heavier blows, good for knocking enemies back<\/p>\n

\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Getting Started<\/h1>\n

There are a few ways to begin:
\n1\/. Crafting your gear
\nYou may find manuscripts in chests. With a smithing hammer, tongs, an anvil, and the needed materials, you can forge your own equipment.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Turn a regular anvil into a Craftsman\u2019s Anvil by right-clicking it while crouching with a hammer. Add your materials and manuscripts, then start hammering.<\/p>\n

Most items require heated iron, made by placing iron ingots in a campfire. Handle with care, hot metal will burn you without tongs.<\/p>\n

![](https:\/\/media.forgecdn.net\/attachments\/description\/1176972\/description_1308f26c-7b32-423d-8da4-2e9a9fa13d30.gif)<\/p>\n

Smithing will not guarantee a successful item. Better quality items are harder to make and may fail, costing you materials, except the manuscript. Once complete, quench the item to finish the process.<\/p>\n

![](https:\/\/media.forgecdn.net\/attachments\/description\/1176972\/description_368312c6-a66e-456c-bb35-2e98a5e569ff.gif)<\/p>\n

2\/. Villager trades
\nSome weapons and armour can be obtained through villagers, though it may take time to find what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3\/. Exploration
\nRare gear can also be uncovered in suspicious sand. These items may be worn, but can either be repaired or broken down into manuscripts for future crafting.<\/p>\n
