About this Mod

Mod adding 5 unique scythes all with a special ability. Each scythe is crafted with purely vanilla resources to try to stay a bit more vanilla.

All scythes come with sweeping edge built in and therefore can not be enchanted with it. The level of sweeping edge is based on how hard the scythe is to craft.

Damage and attack speed have been scaled between axes and swords.
