 Simple Spikes is a Minecraft mod introducing a variety of new spike blocks, each causing unique types of damage or effects upon contact. Enhance your base defenses, mob farms, or simply add a strategic new element to your survival world.

The mod utilizes Balm for seamless multi-loader support across Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.

  • 🪵 Variety of Spike Types
    Includes wooden spikes (oak, dark oak, birch, jungle, acacia, spruce, warped, crimson, cherry, mangrove, pale oak), stone spikes, cobblestone spikes, slime spikes, copper spikes, iron spikes, gold spikes, diamond spikes, and netherite spikes.

  • 🛡️ Unique Damage Mechanics
    Different spike variants have unique properties:

    • Wooden Spikes: Moderate damage, effective for passive defense.
    • Stone and Cobblestone Spikes: Higher durability and damage compared to wood.
    • Metal Spikes (Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite): Higher damage output, durability, and special properties (e.g., ignoring armor).
    • Slime Spikes: Special knockback properties, bouncing entities upon contact.
  • 🎨 Detailed Textures & Models
    Carefully designed to integrate seamlessly with vanilla aesthetics and other popular resource packs.

  • 🛡️ Shields Integration
    Shields now interact uniquely with spikes, offering enhanced strategic depth when defending against mobs or other players.

🛠️ Compatibility

Simple Spikes is carefully crafted for optimal compatibility with other mods, particularly those that:

  • 🔗 Use Balm as a foundational library for multi-loader functionality.
  • ⚔️ Adjust entity or player damage mechanics: Spikes leverage vanilla and Balm-compatible systems.
  • 🏰 Modify world generation or mob behavior: Spikes behave consistently across dimensions and interactions.
