The mod adds multiple scythe variants based on classic Minecraft materials:
- Wooden Scythe
- Stone Scythe
- Iron Scythe
- Golden Scythe

⚙️ Functionality
Scythes are designed as a middle ground between swords and axes, offering a unique combat experience:
- ⏱️ Attack Speed:
- Slower than swords, but faster than axes.
- 💥 Damage: Higher than swords, but lower than axes.
- 🌪️ Area Damage (AoE): All scythes have built-in area damage, which scales with the material tier.

- This makes scythes a strong strategic choice, especially for fighting groups of enemies.
