Description
Simple Weapons introduces 8 new weapons designed to fit in with vanilla. Each weapon has it's own unique playstyle and aims to give the player a fresh experience with each individual weapon. This mod is balanced around the Better Combat mod, but can be used without it.

*These weapons may not be added to the mod, nothing is final
Claws - low damage, hitting entities gives a temporary speed boost (stacks), hitting the same entity multiple times will inflict bleed
One handed
War Axe - medium-high damage, damage bypasses shields, taking damage will increase your damage, killing entities will also increase your damage
All effects are subject to change, if you have any ideas or thoughts then let me know!
