About this project

What does Simple Weapons for Better Combat add?

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, 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

These weapons are balanced around the Better Combat mod, however you can use this mod without it.

 

If you've played the mod before and want to help with balancing, please fill out this short poll. (Thank you)

Twin Blades - medium damage, killing entities gives a small damage buff, if another entity is killed quickly after, the damage buff will be increased
