What does this datapack add?

As mentioned, This pack introduces medieval weapons. Here's a small list of what the datapack has to offer:

Weapons:

Crafting the weapons requires you to craft an Assembly Station. Assembly Stations are the only way to craft any weapon in this list. The recipe can be found at the gallery section. While reading you may find the term "Traits" a lot. Traits are basically some abilities or stats for the weapon you're reading about. To simplify how they work. *Introducing:

Stats

Claymores are somewhat slow to swing. Having 1.2 Attack Speed. But makes it up in damage. Being capable of delivering +2 Attack Damage more than a normal sword.

Stats

Slightly heavier than a normal sword but a very sharp one due to its curved shape. a Cutlass Deals 1+ Attack Damage more than a normal sword and has 1.4 Attack Speed. 0.2 less than a normal sword. As well as giving slight armor toughness. As the cutlass somewhat covers the bearer's hand. As well as having the ability to damage polearm weapons. Due to its stick-cutting abilities

Battle Axes

Introduction

Battle Axes are a double-edged axe that is designed mainly for combat. Very strong for a mostly one handed weapon.

Stats

Lances

Introduction Lances are polearms that vary in size and shape. And when used right, Are extremely powerful weapons that can demolish your foe. Usually used while riding a horse to get better acceleration and build up more speed. The type of lance this datapack introduces is the Jousting lance.

Stats

Lances have the exact same Attack Damage as a normal sword. Though are way slower than one. Having 1 Attack Speed. 0.6 Lower than a normal sword. So using this weapon in normal combat is not your best choice. But the debuffs it has it makes up in its most important trait. Acceleration & speed build up. Lances deal more damage depending on how much you sprint for. Jump sprinting and walking will not work. The more you sprint the more damage you'll deal. Which goes in 5 stages. To move on to the next stage you need to run at least 5 blocks increasing each stage. In every stage your lance will deal 33% more damage. With the max damage you can reach 100% more damage. Basically doubling your damage.

Traits

Accelerating II - Sprinting in a straight direction grants more damage as you accelerate

Two Handed I - Drastically reduces attack speed when holding a shield

Trivia

• Having to run to accelerate does prevent you from doing critical hits. So you can't do 100% more damage and have the 50% damage buff from the critical hit. Making accelerating not worth it if you are not going for 66% damage and above
• Lances are used on horses to have faster acceleration. Which is an extra reason to have a horse. [​CURRENTLY DOESN'T WORK WITH HORSES AND VEHICLES]

Advancements

• Professional Jouster - mold a lance
• Ready. - Reach 33% acceleration boost.
• Set.. - Reach 66% acceleration boost.

Stats

Fencing rapiers have a narrow thrusting blade. If you can even call it a blade? as it doesn't have sharp edges and its only way of properly damage is the pointy edge at the end of it. Being narrow makes this blade easy to carry. Increasing the attack speed of it to 2 Attack Speed. 0.4 more than a nomral sword. Though, Not having an edge and being this thin does debuff it. And reduces its critical damage output by 60%, That's -60% critical hit damage. (the critical damage boost is turned into 20% more damage)

Stats

Katanas are essentially normal minecraft swords. But due to being made with big amounts of metal. They are slightly heavier. Having the attack speed be 1.4 Attack Speed.

LongBow

Introduction

The LongBow is one of the most simple bows out there. Was used alot in the medieval era. Unlike a casual bow. LongBows are somewhat more flat than recurved. Allowing it to shoot arrows way further than a normal bow would. At the cost of some of the acceleration of the arrow shot. a Fair Bargain.

Stats

LongBows as the name suggests. Have a way longer projectile traveling distance. Making Arrows shot by it travel 50% further than a normal bow. Of course at the cost of losing -10% of the overall damage. Longbows can be hard to aim with if not used to it. Especially that the way minecraft works. It is hard polishing this bow due to how weird arrows motion works. So forgive if the arrow takes a bit to register. It is true out of my hand :P

Traits

• Longbows do not have any noted traits -

Trivia

• Longbows were planned to have slightly longer drawing speed. But an efficient way of doing so doesn't exist. So it was scrapped.
• When you shoot an arrow with a longbow it may seem like it travels like a normal arrow. Because minecraft has problems with registering motion quickly. So don't worry it does travel far its just a visual bug from mc.

Advancements

Meet the Sniper - Assemble a LongBow

Halberd

Introduction

Halberds (or halberts) are poleaxes that specialize in three things. Thrusting, Slashing and hooking. Making them one of the deadliest weapons out there. They're known for their heavy weight and destructive nature. So obviously they're two handed weapons.

Stats

Introduction

Scythes presented in this datapack are just your average farm scythe, which are typically used for agricultural means, like harvesting crops and mowing grass. Their tall structure allows easy harvesting without needing to bend down! While that's cool and all, such traits of a scythe also allow it to function well as a weapon for harvesting heads.

Stats

Scythes blades are really something when it comes to lethality, a scythe does 1.5+ more damage than an average sword. Scythes are also designed to be really long, extending the reach of the bearer an extra 0.5 blocks. Though, the length of the scythe and it's relatively heavy blade does make it somewhat heavy to carry with just one hand. Scythe's grapple-like blade allows it to inflict more damage with slashing attacks, increasing the sweeping damage ratio by 65%. The shape of the blade also gives it the unique ability of pulling targets and manipulating their motion at well.

Shields:

As there are weapons, This datapack adds shields. Which have a variety of uses. To kick it off. The way shields work is now slightly different. Each shield has a maximum amount of damage it can withstand before being disabled. With normal vanilla shields capable of withstanding 30 Hearts per shield turn. In other words, When you hold your shield. You are able to block what's equal to 30 hearts of damage. Until it is disabled, Or till you stop blocking and reset your shield. This is displayed in game as: "Max damage per shield turn"

Round Shields

Introduction

Round Shields are probably one of the oldest shields brought to history. Can be made of wood, Iron, Bronze and Other materials. Certainly one of the best shields for melee combat. Great for quick parrying and blocking, Very light comparing to other shield types and nimble to move with making it a good choice when using heavy weapons.

Stats

Round shields essentially act like a normal shield. But has a new thing called "Chance of disability". As those shields have a chance to be disabled by any hit depending on ithe material it is made of. even if it doesn't involve an axe. Though, it also allows you to hold the heaviest of weapons without having a noticeable debuff for your attack speed. Round shields have a max damage of shield turn depending on the material used:

Heater shields have a max damage of shield turn depending on the material used:

Copper - 15 Hearts. Iron - 20 Hearts. Gold (NOT ADDED YET) - 25 Hearts.

Stats

Heater shields have also a "Chance of disability" stat. Which determines how often a shield gets disabled by any hit. Having a much lower chance comparing to lighter shields.

Important Notes:

• Due to my extreme lack of time as mentioned at the start. Updating any datapack I own is usually at a slow pace. So please have patience :3

• Bugs are common occurrences that you will have to face. So PLEASE if you find any bug report it at the comments or preferably at my discord server because I read those often. Here is it if you didn't get it from above: https://discord.gg/M4TN26CB8V

• Running the command [/function wep:admin/debug_menu] wiill open a small window that'll help you troubleshoot or uninstall the datapack. As well as other things.**

• The debug menu contains a feature called trait addition. It allows you to add any trait of your choice onto the item you are holding. Useful for customization in servers.

• Any version/update of the datapack has a minecraft version listed with it. This version is the Recommended version to use. But it doesn't necceserily mean it is unusable otherwise. Though, Any bugs encountered in the non-recommended versions will not be looked into. If you need help determining if it could work on older versions. Contact me through discord.

And We're done, Cheers!
