arsenal of blades

1.1.0 — Three polearms (Minecraft 1.21.11, Fabric)

• 3 new weapon classes × 7 tiers = 21 new weapons (now 9 classes, 63 weapons), each with an active skill (key R):
  • Dagger-axe — control polearm: Hook yanks the nearest foe to you and slows them; long reach, no crit bonus
  • Halberd — the longest reach in the mod, mild armor pierce: Spear Thrust skewers everyone in a line
  • Double Axe — heaviest hitter, 2× crits, cleaves armor, disables shields, two-handed: Whirlwind spins and executes the wounded
• New weapons are craftable, found in structure loot, and sold by weaponsmith villagers, same as the rest
• The easter-egg lifesteal sword is now the Sanguine Edge, with a new skill — Bloodlust (a Strength/Speed/Regeneration frenzy)
• ⚠️ Breaking: the mod's namespace changed from moreswords to arsenalofblades to match the name. All item IDs are now arsenalofblades:…. Weapons placed in worlds built on 1.0.0 will not carry over — re-obtain them after updating.

1.0.0 — Initial release (Minecraft 1.21.11, Fabric)

A full melee weapon system.

• 6 weapon classes × 7 tiers (wood → netherite) = 42 weapons, each with its own stats and an active skill (default key: R):
  • Greatsword — charged AoE smash, 2× crits, cleaves armor, two-handed (no shield)
  • Longsword — Parry & riposte
  • Sabre — Charge Slash, hits harder while moving (even mounted)
  • Rapier — Lunge, very fast, no crits, poor armor penetration
  • Estoc — Armor Sunder, strongest armor penetration
  • Dagger — Shadowstep backstab, fastest & cheapest
• Weapon-vs-armor matchups (cleave / pierce / poor penetration)
• Per-class recipes; netherite via smithing-table upgrade; worn blades hit softer below 30% durability
• Hold Shift on any weapon for its full mechanics
• Found in structure loot and sold by weaponsmith villagers
• Dedicated "Arsenal of Blades" creative tab
• Easter egg: the Sanguine Edge — lifesteal + Night Vision, structure-only, cannot be crafted, traded, or repaired
