Item models in Vanilla Minecraft have visible gaps.  Until Mojang fixes this bug, I strongly recommend using the ModelGapFix mod.

About 🤺

Basic Weapons adds 6 new weapon types of every vanilla tool material (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) to complement the existing sword and axe 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.

Divider 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
Spear Medium Medium   Very High
Quarterstaff Low Medium Sweeping High
Glaive High Very Slow Sweeping High

Bronze Integration 🔶

My Bronze mod has explicit integration with Basic Weapons.
Each weapon type will receive a bronze version when both mods are installed together.

Better Combat Integration 🔥

Better Combat + Basic Weapons Basic Weapons works well as a drop-in mod to spice up the weapon variety in your adventures, but it plays especially well when paired with 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.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I recommend you try the two mods out together. Better Combat can take some getting used to at first, but it's well worth your time investment in the long term, bringing a new layer of strategy and fun to your weapon choices and fights.

For weapon stats with Better Combat integration, see below:

Weapon Damage Speed Baseline Effect Targets Reach Weapon-Type
Vanilla Sword Medium Medium Vanilla Sweeping Multi Medium One-handed
Vanilla Axe High Slow Vanilla Shield Break Single Medium One-handed
Dagger Low Very Fast   Single Medium One-handed
Club High Slow Slow target Single Medium One-handed
Hammer High Very Slow Knock target upwards Single Medium One-handed
Spear Medium Slow   Single Very High Two-handed
Quarterstaff Low Fast Vanilla Sweeping Multi High Two-handed
Glaive High Very Slow Vanilla Sweeping Multi High Two-handed

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 🧡

  • What are the recipes?
  • Recipes are unlocked in the vanilla recipe book when obtaining the requisite materials (e.g. picking up an iron ingot). You can also use a mod like EMI to view all recipes.
  • What are the mod's dependencies?
    Basic Weapons has no required dependencies except for the usual Fabric API/ QFAPI that most mods on Fabric and Quilt require. For an upgraded experience you can install this mod together with Better Combat for more exciting fights if you want.
  • Is there a forge/fabric/quilt version?
    Yes, all three! The downloads are named for whichever modloader they're for so just take a look at the file names :)
  • Can you backport the mod to Minecraft 1.X.X?
    Unfortunately I don't have the time to backport Basic Weapons to earlier versions. The mod will however support each new version of Minecraft.
  • I found a bug / my game crashed
    If you find any problems with Basic Weapons, please feel encouraged to create an issue on the GitHub repository issue tracker. Bug reports are incredibly helpful, and help make Basic Weapons the best it can be.
