# BotaniaCombat
BotaniaCombat seeks to create a variety of weapons using [Botania](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/botania)'s metals, and integrate Botania with [BetterCombat](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/better-combat-by-daedelus) as well as some other combat library mods.
This mod does the following:
- Adds a Dagger for Elementium and Terrasteel (Manasteel equivalent is Botania's Soulscribe)
- Adds the Slaughtersaw, a Manasteel weapon for harvesting livestock and usable as a knife (for example, with FarmersDelight)
- Adds the Soulstaff, a battlestaff version of the Soulscribe
- Adds a Spear for Elementium and Terrasteel
- If you are a patron of Vazkii, terrasteel weapons will emit mana beams with a random color from your [Psi CAD colorizer](https://github.com/VazkiiMods/Psi/blob/master/contributors.properties) colors
- Adds additional post-Gaia weapon, the Gaia Greatsword, which can use all of your Patreon colors
- Buffs player-spawned pixies by making them always have the +2 damage bonus that would normally only be applied when the player is holding the Elementium Sword
- Adds Gaia Gifts: "secret" weapon(s) obtained by defeating Gaia II under specific conditions
- Adds "Angry Angry Bozu", an "evil upgrade" to Botania's Teru Teru Bozu that can summon thunderstorms. Useful for Channeling Tridents and Thundercaller
If [Better Combat](https://modrinth.com/mod/better-combat) is installed, it also does the following:
- Adds offhand pixie spawn chance attribute to Elementium weapons (including Elementium Sword)
- Adds pixie spawn chance attributes to the Elementium Axe
- Makes Terrasteel weapons (including Terra Blade) shoot a beam during a BetterCombat swing; also works with offhand swings
- Makes Starcaller work similar to Terrasteel weapons
- Reduces Thundercaller attack range to 1.5 (from BetterCombat's default 2.5), electricity range is unaffected
If [Fabric Shield Lib](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabricshieldlib) is installed, it also does the following:
- Adds the Manasteel Buckler
- Adds the Elementium Shield
- Adds the Terra Tower Shield
- Adds shield Gaia Gift
If [Ranged Weapon API](https://modrinth.com/mod/ranged-weapon-api) is installed, it also does the following:
- Adds Pull Time and Ranged Damage attributes to Botania's bows
- Adds Livingwood Crossbow
- Adds Crystal Crossbow
- Adds Ranged Damage attribute to Mana Blaster with Damage lens (which deals magic damage)
- Adds bow Gaia Gift
**NOTE**: To ensure that the Lexica and subtitles from Botania are accurate, this mod includes an enabled-by-default resource pack that overrides some of Botania's lang file.
This mod only supports en_us.json currently (translations wanted).

## FAQ
#### *Will you make a Forge version?*
Maybe in future Minecraft versions. This is unlikely to happen in 1.20.1
#### *Does this work with Sinytra Connector?*
It should, thanks to Unilock's PR. Support for it is lower priority than support for Fabric/Quilt.
#### *How much damage does the mana beam from the new weapons do?*
8 (or 4 hearts), same as Terra Blade, although this can be configured
#### *Why so many optional dependencies*?
A couple of reasons, but mostly these are mods I already use myself, and I don't like doing mixin on vanilla when there's just a library I could use that does it
#### *Is there a config?*
Yes, and a quite extensive one at that. It can be configured via ModMenu. Values pertaining to BotaniaCombat weapons can be changed, and certain Botania items can be nerfed (or buffed) as well.
