Simple Weapons for Better Combat
Adds vanilla-like weapons designed and balanced around the better combat mod
About this Mod
This mod simply adds more weapon types that fit in with vanilla. This mod focuses on quality over quantity and doesn't add a lot of weapons, however every weapon brings something new to the table. This mod currently includes 8 new weapons, 7 with special abilities. * Special abilities can be disabled in the config
These weapons are balanced around the Better Combat mod, however you can use this mod without it.
If you've played the mod before and want to help with balancing, please fill out this short poll. (Thank you)

WIP Weapons:
*These weapons may not be added to the mod, nothing is final
Claws - low damage, hitting entities gives temporary small speed boost, each hit increases speed boost more (will be capped).
One handed
Twin Blades - medium damage, killing entities gives a small damage buff, if another entity is killed quickly after, the damage buff will be increased
War Axe - medium-high damage, damage bypasses shields and is unaffected by potion effects, hitting the same entity multiple times will inflict bleed
All effects are subject to change, if you have any ideas or thoughts then let me know!
