Basic Weapons is a Fabric mod created by Khazoda that adds new distinct weapons, each with individual strengths and weaknesses.

This mod aims to reimagine Minecraft's combat through different vanilla-feeling weapon choices.

Gameplay

Vanilla Minecraft boasts two distinct melee weapons, the Sword and the Axe. Basic Weapons looks to expand on these two weapons with 5 new offerings which have a distinct playstyle and optimal use scenario, much like vanilla weapons.

Weapon Types

Basic Weapons adds 5 new distinct weapon types.

• Daggers
• Clubs
• Hammers
• Spears
• Quarterstaves

Strengths and Weaknesses

Weapons

Weapon	Damage	Attack Speed	Use Case
Dagger	Low	High	The dagger works well for adventurers that need to be light on their feet in battle, dashing in and out of combat or pummelling enemies with a flurry of attacks.
Club	High	Low	The club slows enemies briefly when hit, and works well as a weapon for those used to the vanilla sword that may want a little more damage and single target utility.
Hammer	Very High	Very Low	The hammer can do staggering amounts of damage, and flings targets into the air. This weapon is quite situational - it won't shine much in most combat situations, but when it does, it really does.
Spear	Medium	Medium	The spear is for those who like to keep their enemies at further than arm's reach.
Quarterstaff	Low	Medium	The quarterstaff excels at multi-target crowd control. Like the vanilla sword, its sweeping attacks keep enemies at bay, but with higher attack speed and reach it is comparatively more effective with large groups of enemies

Mod Integration

Basic Weapons works as a standalone mod, but really shines when paired with other select mods.

Bronze

The Bronze mod adds bronze weapons, armour and more. When used alongside Basic Weapons, bronze variants of each weapon are available.

Better Combat

Better Combat overhauls Minecraft's combat system, adding fresh new animations and attack patterns for vanilla weapons.

Every weapon from Basic Weapons has its own attack pattern, with some supporting dual wielding such as clubs, daggers and hammers.

Hammers also come with their own custom animation.
