About this Mod

Beta's Beter Weapons

Minecraft's combat has seemed stale lately. This pack is a way to try and fix that. It adds 3 new types of weapons (probably more to come), a whole new set of tools, alternatives to the Totem of Undying, and more! you can read about each of the features below.

New weapons

I added 3 new weapon types to the game, each with their own benifits and drawbacks.'

Dagger

The dagger is like a sword but it has a much faster attack speed. It also has a lower range than the sword

Crafting for the dagger

Battleaxe

The Battleaxe does the most damage out of any weapon. Because of this it also has the slowest attack speed.

Battleaxe crafting

Spear

The spear has the greatest range and is ment to be used to break combos, but it has a slow attack speed so you can't combo other players with it.

Spear crafting

Copper tools

Copper tools act as a middlegroud between stone and iron. They have the same durability as stone tools but the same stats as iron tools.

Totems

These totems are items that you can hold in your offhand that give you special buffs inspired by the relics from Drehmal Apotheosis. You can craft them or get them as drops from the Evoker.
