About this project
What does Ancient Armory add?
This mod tweaks all the unused vanilla weapon models and integrates them into the latest version for the game. 1.21.X
All items should be fully craftable, some with semi custom animations, like the claymore.
Many of the original models are rescaled, balanced, and tweaked to better fit the game's style and gameplay.
I hope you enjoy the weapons!
(It also adds my own longsword and falchion as a bonus!)

Added further crafting functionality to the Warhammer, and all Axes.
