**Resource Pack now included with datapack, put the datapack into resource packs folder to use** **Join the discord if you have any questions, ideas, or to find the offical server!** **Also Fully Compatible With Better Combat!** This datapack adds 7 new weapons that are all balanced and multiplayer ready **Scythe** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/de4a4e96c7c291896a0a2cc6b69026d3b71e035d.png) The scythe does the same damage as its sword counterpart, with a longer reach and cooldown, but has a much higher sweeping ratio, and if you right click while holding one, you can activate its ability and steal 2 hearts from each mob/player around you, and take them as absorption hearts. **Broadsword** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/85cd8f2651649a69351a1db40c93a7aaf00f74b8.png) (Uses slabs for wood and stone, and corresponding nuggets for iron, gold and copper) +1 damage as its axe counterpart, but with a longer cooldown and a bit more range, when you kill a mod or player with it, you gain strength 2 for 3 seconds **Katana** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/98c6a0d4ccc8c32398dc6252963bc0dfd5eb375d.png) Does +1 damage as its sword counterpart with a slightly faster cooldown, when your right click with it you dash 5 blocks forward, and deal 3 hearts of damage that ignore armor to all entities that you pass through **Knuckles** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/05fe74b2716c9635b3ce4a194eaf5c7fa63aa034.png) Deal +1 damage as its sword counterpart with a faster cooldown, but much less range, and much lower durability, if you hold one in each hand, and right click you gain resistance 5 for 1 second (Basically a parry) **Staff** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/a2c2c4fb68072dccdad11819ff00af2bc154e27e.png) Deals -1 damage as its sword counterpart with a much faster cooldown, much more range, and it can block like a shield, but you can still sprint and move at normal speed while using it **Rapier** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/e329aa93c9bdc50c16ba7991c26895daa4d35b9f.png) Deals -1 damage as its sword counterpart with a much faster cooldown and much more range (like the staff) but it can deal percing attacks up to 4 blocks away, like the spear **Resource Pack Required**
