Description
This mod adds additional enchantments and melee weapons to Minecraft. This puts more strategy to combat since certain weapons are better in certain situations. It also gives players much more possibilities how to enchant their items.

Weapons:

Weapons:
Hammer

This is a very strong two-hand weapon, but also the slowest. It has much stronger knockback than other weapons and can stun enemy upon hit for a few seconds. And if you are facing multiple enemies... well, you can use the slam attack. Right click on the ground to damage, stun and knock back all enemies around you. It also craks nearby blocks, if they have a cracked version. However, this attack has a long cooldown and costs a lot of durability.

Nunchaku

Nunchaku is a quite weak weapon and it has almost no knockback. However, it's incredibly fast. You can also hold attack key to let it spin and attack automatically with highest possible speed. It can spin indefinitely damagini enemies you are aiming, while it's damage increases over time.

Dagger

Weaker than sword, but faster and cheaper. Also, if you hit enemy from behind with this weapon, it deals massive amount of extra damage. Ideal in PvP for surprise attacks.
Surprise!

Battle Axe

Normal axe might look like a reasonable weapon, but this two-hand version is certainly better. Not only it can be enchanted as a weapon, but it also deals more damage and can disarm your enemy instead of just disabling shield.
Note: Disarming a non-player entity will usually destroy the disarmed item rather than drop it on the ground to prevent easy farming.

Spear

If you do not like enemies getting too close to you, this weapon is the right choice. It can hit enemies on much further distance than other weapons. If this is not enough, you can throw it against enemy. Spears work more like consumables than a proper weapon. It cannot be enchanted, it can stack and it has a chance to break with each use instead of losing durability.

Crossbow
Crossbow crafting recipe

This ranged weapon deals more damage than bow and shoots arrows faster, but takes much longer to charge. When charged, it stays loaded, until player shoots by using it again. This means, that you can be always prepared to shoot for a lot of damage. It uses the same ammo as normal bow.
