About this Mod
Flint Dagger is a mod for Fabric 1.20.1 that adds 9 new items to the game, alongside changing spawning mechanics for Cave Spiders & Wither Skeletons & the Silverfish, some loots in structures & the loot of Bats (for Bat Wings to craft the unique Bat Glider) and that of the Silverfish (very rarely dropping an Iron Nugget).
The Gravel block now drops from an enriched looting table, making grinding for materials fun while redefining it as a compound of various sediments.
You can now craft an early game Flint Dagger that has the best possible attack speed, bringing back 1.8 PVP, and that can be updated to a Diamond Dagger later on. The Flint Shovel and Axe have the strength of equivalent stone tools. The Flint Dagger Guide informs you even more ingame.
The Flintlock Pistol uses Gunpowder & Iron Nuggets to fire Fire Charges, which you can use to set things on fire from far away or damage mobs.
