📋 About This Mod
This Mod adds dye support to all equippable vanilla weapons that fall into the general swords category.
That includes Shortswords, Longswords, Greatswords, Rapiers, Scimitars, and Daggers.
Other weapon types will follow.
Currently, dye support for every equippable vanilla weapon is included in this Mod.
That means that weapons that can be found but not equipped by characters, such as the Watcher Greatsword, as
well as weapons not attainable in vanilla, such as summons’ unique weapons, aren’t currently included.
