DeadlyDaggers

Have you ever thought: "Swords are just too long and too powerful, I want to defend myself with a weapon that's much less effective"? Daggers are the answer.

Throw daggers! Apply poison to daggers! Shoot daggers out of dispensers! Stab hapless zombies in the back for bonus, armour-piercing critical damage! Do it all without even needing a crafting table.

Daggers do bonus damage equal to their normal attack power when attacking from behind, and the bonus damage ignores armour. Throw them with right-click, and apply potion effects by combining them with a potion (any potion). If you have a Loyalty book, you can even enchant your favourite dagger with that.

Great for when you need an improvised weapon and have no time to prepare, or for when you have way too much time to prepare and want to make the most of those Instant Damage II potions.
