Useful Bane of Arthropods Rework/Buff
A mod that allows Bane of Arthropods to hit creepers and appear on pickaxes. Configurable
About this Mod
Ever felt like Bane of Arthropods was underpowered or undesirable compared to Sharpness or even Smite?
This mod reworks Bane of Arthropods by allowing it to:
- Affect Creepers, in addition to arthropods
- Be applied to pickaxes, in addition to regular pickaxe enchants
With this change, you can effectively deal with Creepers and spiders without sacrificing your preferred sword enchantments. A properly enchanted diamond pickaxe can even one-shot a Creeper.
Configuration
The mod is fully configurable, allowing you to enable or disable specific features as needed.
