Mandalorians, beskar and blasters for Minecraft 1.21.1. Fabric and NeoForge.
Description
Blood & Beskar is a Star Wars mod built around the two things you actually want to do in a Star Wars game: shoot people with a blaster, and swat those shots back with a lightsaber.
Sabers are built part by part, blasters overheat if you hold the trigger down, and there are 28 full armour sets to wear while you figure out which of those two you're better at. Everything runs on the same code on both loaders, so multiplayer behaves the same either way.
Mandalorian patrols spawn out in the desert and the badlands. They travel in small groups behind a clan leader, they take cover and shoot back with real blasters, and if a patrol from a rival house walks into them, they will drop what they are doing and go for each other instead. Kill them, take their beskar, and build the armour yourself.
There are lightsabers too, for when you decide the helmet is not enough.
Features
Mandalorians
Three clans, each with its own armour and its own taste in weapons. Wren in white and yellow, Kryze in blue, Saxon in red. Every patrol has a leader. Leaders carry the house's signature blaster. Everyone else pulls from the clan's pool, and roughly one in four carries a beskar spear instead. Clans hate each other. Two houses in the same area will start a fight without you. They fight properly. Cover-aware ranged AI that fires on whatever blaster it happens to be holding. Rare natural spawns in deserts and badlands, better odds near villages, so finding a patrol actually means something. Clan and leader are plain NBT, so datapacks and commands can spawn exactly the loadout they want.
Beskar
Beskar is rare and must be refined before it can become armor. 1. **Search for Beskar** Find Beskar Alloy Nuggets in Ancient City, Mandalorian Covert, and Desert Temple chests. 2. **Mine Nether Scrap** Search deep in the Nether for hidden Scrap Metal clusters. Each block drops 1–4 Beskar Scraps and may also contain Iron Nuggets. 3. **Refine the Alloy** Blast Beskar Scraps into Beskar Alloy Nuggets, then combine nine nuggets into one Beskar Alloy Ingot. 4. **Forge Your Armor** Craft Beskar Alloy Armor as your foundation. Combine each piece with matching Leather Armor and an additional Beskar Alloy Ingot to forge Mandalorian Armor, then customize it with dyes and clan upgrades. *Explore. Mine. Refine. Forge. This is the Way.*
Blasters
Seven of them: E-11, DL-18, DC-17, A280, RT-97C, CA-87 and the Tusken Cycler. Heat instead of a reload bar. Hold the trigger too long and it overheats and locks up while it vents. Time the vent right and the next shot comes out supercharged. Automatic and semi-automatic fire, with a custom crosshair for heat, ammo and spread. Every stat lives in a datapack file, so all of it is tunable.
Lightsabers
Find emitters, cores and pommels in Ancient City and End City chests, including End Ships. Lightsaber circuitry is found exclusively in Nether Fortress chests, while kyber crystals grow among the amethyst clusters inside geodes.
Combine any emitter, core and pommel with circuitry and a kyber crystal in a crafting table. With three variants for each hilt part, there are 27 hilt combinations. Across 14 supported blade colours, there are 378 possible lightsaber configurations.
A keybind ignites and retracts the blade, and an ignited blade lights the world around you. Raise it to block using four guard stances. Blocked blaster bolts are deflected down your crosshair-straight back at whoever fired them.
Everything else
Bith, Rodian, Zabrak and Trandoshan villagers, Tusken Raiders, Mouse Droids and C-3PO. Kyber crystal blocks, Nevarro stone and scrap metal.
