⚠️ Minecraft Bugs That Affect This Mod

• ❌ Problem: Minecraft 1.21.10 and below has a bug that causes item models in Vanilla Minecraft to have visible gaps.
• 🟢 Solution:
• 1.21.10 and earlier: I strongly recommend using the Model Gap Fix mod
• 1.21.11+: Mojang has fixed this bug in 1.21.11 (MC-73186)
• ❌ Problem:

Minecraft 1.21+ has a bug (MC-271840) that stops damage increase enchantments (like Sharpness and Might) from showing the damage increase in a weapon's tooltip.

• 🟢 Solution:
• 1.21 - 1.21.4: Install Legendary Tooltips
• 1.21.10+: Make sure you're using Basic Weapons 2.2.2+1.21.10 or later, which includes a fix for any weapon that accepts Sharpness or Might.

Basic Weapons adds six new tiered melee weapon types to complement the existing sword, axe and spear in Minecraft. Each weapon is balanced around damage, attack speed, crafting costs, attack reach and special effects. _If you have Better Combat installed, the weapons are also balanced around number of enemies hit and combos._

Weapons should feel unique, powerful, easy to use and fair. I made Basic Weapons because I was looking around for weapon mods that would fit seamlessly into vanilla gameplay, and didn't quite find what I was looking for. I hope that in creating Basic Weapons, I've made that search a little easier for those of you who've had a similar experience.

This high level overview should give you an idea of what each weapon is good and bad at:

Weapon - Damage - Speed - Baseline Effect - Reach

Vanilla Sword - Medium - Medium - Sweeping - Medium Vanilla Axe - High - Slow - Shield Break - Medium Dagger - Low - Fast - Medium Club - High - Slow - Slow target - Medium Hammer - High - Very Slow - Knock target upwards - Medium Pike - Medium - Medium - Very High Quarterstaff - Low - Medium - Sweeping - High Glaive - High - Very Slow - Sweeping - High

Material Pack System

Do you want compatibility with another mod's material? Check the Public Material Pack List to see if a material pack for that mod has been created. If it doesn't exist? No problem! You can create materialpacks yourself with the Material Pack Creator web application, and submit them to the public list if you wish.

Material Packs are loaded at the start of the game from the basicweapons_materialpacks folder in your Minecraft root directory. Make sure you add packs before loading the game up, if you add them after, they won't load. Treat them as if they are mod files rather than resource or datapacks.

Mod Integrations

Basic Weapons can be enhanced by installing other mods alongside it. The following are mods that Basic Weapons has built-in support for.

Bronze

My Bronze mod adds bronze & tin basic weapons automatically when both mods are installed together. No material pack required.

Better Combat

With Better Combat installed, quarterstaves receive exciting new attack combos, daggers and clubs can be paired with other weapons for dual-wielding mayhem, and the hammer even features a fully custom attack animation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "Might" enchantment do?

Might functions exactly the same as vanilla Sharpness. It increases the damage of your weapon by a flat amount based on the enchantment level. I felt that blunt weapons having Sharpness didn't make much sense, hence Might.

Is there a (fabric/forge/neoforge/risugami's modloader) version?

Basic Weapons exists on both Fabric and NeoForge. If you're running Quilt, use the Fabric jar.

Can you backport the mod to Minecraft 1.X.X?

Basic Weapons will not be backported. The mod will however support new major versions of Minecraft.

I found a bug / my game crashed
