Better Weaponry 2.0.0

New platforms

• Fabric support on 1.21.1 and 1.20.1, alongside NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1.

Combat

• Right-click parry, like swords in 1.8. It includes a perfect parry with a damage bonus on your next hit, and a guard break from axes.
• Dash for the dagger and the rapier.
• Combos with a special last hit: area, both weapons at once, two-arm animation.
• Dual wielding is limited to weapons with the dual_wielded option. Hits alternate between hands.
• Two-handed weapons lock the off hand.
• New per-weapon stats: reach, armor penetration, on-hit effects, sweep size, shield disabling.
• Weapon stats are rebalanced around a DPS target.

New items

• Shields, bows and crossbows in every material. The vanilla versions are replaced in loot, trades and inventories.
• Shurikens in every material, with a Returning enchantment.
• Mobs use the mod's weapons, shields, bows and shurikens.
