Description
Do you love the simplicity of the weapons added by Balkon's WeaponMod: Legacy in 1.12.2 but ended up being disappointed by lack of other mods being supported? That's what this addon is for!
Originally created for Tekkit SMP (check it out on Technic!), Balkon's Expansion aims to support as much well known mods as possible by adding the new tools from Balkon's WeaponMod into their respective tool materials and also make each supported material configurable. The newly added tools utilize the same tool material as their normal tool counterparts, if any of these properties are tweaked by a mod like Material Changer, the whole set will also be affected.
There are currently no "base metal" tools, mods that add a common material will instead have their own version of it supported. This was done for immersive and compatibility reasons. ;)
Additionally, some quality of life changes were done to Balkon's WeaponMod: Legacy (also configurable!), you can see the changes done below as well as the currently supported mods.
Quality of Life
- Extra metallic sounding block sounds for when blocking with katanas and battleaxes (true by default).

Special Thanks
- HypaSpeeed - The wonderful Balkon's WeaponMod port to 1.12.2 and providing support for addons like this one
- ACGaming - Setting up the mod's infrastructure, answering questions, and helping out with the mod in general
- xJon - Creating and maintaining Tekkit 2 and Tekkit SMP, both of which inspired this project to be made
This mod is only for 1.12.2. For a similar mod in 1.7.10, I personally recommend Expanded Armory: Legacy by the same creator as Balkon's WeaponMod: Legacy.
