About this Mod

Scythes

Adds in Scythes, a new weapon that increases attack reach by 2.6m instead of attack damage or speed.

(Mod requires Pehkui on 1.20.1!)

Also adds in many, MANY new scythes (after v2.0.0) all with custom abilities to shake up PVP!

POLYMER NO LONGER SUPPORTED AFTER 3.0.0

Balancing

Scythes are balanced to have less attack speed and damage than an axe, but having slightly more damage than a sword; and having higher reach for both

Scythes lose durability the same as swords, and the Cloud Scythe uses a bit of durability on double jump

Frequently Asked Questions

Scythes server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Scythes compatible with fabric?

Scythes officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21.1, 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Scythes – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Scythes consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
