About this Mod
Weird Equipment
A small Minecraft mod that adds somewhat strange (but useful!) equipment.
LambDynamicLights and Cloth Config are recommended for full functionality.
On Forge, use OptiFine or RyoamicLights (LambDynamicLights Port) instead.
Currently the mod is in progress, but includes:
- Torch Bow: A bow that shoots torches, which are placed upon landing.
- Ropes: Can be hung off walls or ceilings to make climbing up places easier
- Rope Coils: A thrown item that places ropes where it lands.
- Bottomless Water Bucket: A bucket of water that can never be emptied.
- Large Lava Bucket: Holds 9 buckets worth of lava.
- Self-Slingshot: A slingshot that shoots the character in the opposite direction of where you're looking.
- Cactus Sword: A powerful early-game sword that slightly damages you with every hit
- Jack o'Helmet: A helmet that provides ambient light but very little protection - no more holding torches in your offhand!
- Flint & Shears: Does this one really need an explanation? (Not responsible for any accidental forest fires)
- Diamond Shears: A pair of shears with 1000 durability.
- Netherite Torch Pickaxe: A netherite pickaxe with a torch core attached to it. Right-clicking places torches at the cost of 5 durability.
- Dirt Sword: Does no damage, but try right-clicking on a zombie with it!

Weird Equipment server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Weird Equipment compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Weird Equipment officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Weird Equipment – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Weird Equipment consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
