About this Mod
Familiar Weapons
Adds a few pieces of equipment that are Minecraft-ified versions of weapons from other media.
- Ankh Shield: Cures negative effects while in hand
- Elegant Reaper's Scythe: A scythe that can summon wither skulls. Also works as a hoe
- Light Arrow: an upgraded Spectral Arrow that has Piercing IV by default and can pierce single-block walls (this is a little jank)
- Plasma Sword: A sword that ignores armor but deals no knockback
- Glove(s) of Urgency: Gloves that make you run faster
- Possibly more to come!
All weapons have support for Better Combat weapon attributes, and if you want to Dual-Wield Gloves of Urgency then you will need that mod.
All weapons are craftable by default, but I encourage you to change the method of obtaining to your liking.
For both Fabric and Forge. Requires Architectury API.

Familiar Weapons officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Familiar Weapons – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Familiar Weapons consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
