Description

Overview

Expanded Weaponry is a mod that enhances Minecraft combat in many ways. Its main focus is on providing more variety and choice in equipment.

I highly advise combining this mod with Better Combat as it offers cool animations that enhance gameplay and enable you to dual-wield weapons.

Heavy Armor

Heavier variant of armor. Gives more protection but slows down the user and is more expensive. Available in all materials.

  • more armor points
  • more knockback resistance
  • more durability
  • less speed
  • more expensive

Armors

Future plans

  1. Light armor — less expensive to craft, less protection
  2. Shield rework - shields will block % of damage
  3. New Shields — due to the rework, shields will have material tiers (wooden, stone, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite). Also, possibly new variants

For now, no date is present since I'm quite busy with life.
