About this Mod
Iron Fort
IronFort is a combat mod which adds 5 totally original weapons to Minecraft.
In all seriousness, this is a collection of weapons that I stole from ported from Team Fortress 2. I tried to keep it to weapons that would generally fit the themes of Minecraft, so you wont see the Natascha outside of your night terrors.
Banners
IronFort adds 3 banners to the game, which allows you to give buffs to you and all nearby entities after dealing a certain amount of damage. You can see how close you are to having it ready via the durability gauge. The lower it is, the closer it is to being ready (Don't worry, the banners don't break). Once it is ready, it will gain an enchantment glint and can be activated via right-click.
War Horn (AKA Buff Banner)
The War Horn is a standard banner that grants strength and haste to you and all nearby entities upon activation.
Battle Bugle (AKA Battalion's Backup)
The Battle Bugle is a standard banner that grants resistance, fire resistance and absorption to you and all nearby entities upon activation. It takes more damage to charge than the War Horn.
Conch (AKA The Concheror)
The Conch is a standard banner that grants speed, water breathing and health return upon activation. It takes less damage to charge than the War Horn, but it does not buff nearby entities, only yourself.
Health return is a new status effect that provides the effected entity with health upon landing a hit.
Other Weapons
Targe (AKA Chargin' Targe)
The Targe is a shield that, in contrast to the normal shield, send the user shooting forward on right click. When you're closer to the end of your charge, this will grant you a strength buff. You can also use this charge to slam into enemies at high velocity. As a side note, charging while aerial will lock yourself into a steady downward velocity for the duration of the charge, allowing you to cancel fall damage with it in certain scenarios.
Boxing Glove (AKA The Killing Gloves of Boxing)
The Boxing Glove is a melee weapon that inflicts the user with slowness II while drawn, but if the user gets a kill with it, then they will be granted a short burst of strength V!
