About this project
What does Heavy Axe add?
If you hit something while falling, the axe deals some extra damage and saves you from fall damage. Smash attacks also have a short cooldown and a few extra effects to make the hit feel heavier.
It works with vanilla and most modded axes without changing normal axe stuff like chopping wood.
