Patk's Arsenal

Basic Info

This is my first datapack. It contain 27 weapons with unique functions and abilities. Their power has a strain and carrying more than two has a cost which only grows the more you have.

Burden System

As a system to prevent the weapons from being abused by one single person, there is a burden from holding the weapons. The burden counts when it in any of your inventory slots

You are safe to have 2 burden and any more will cause you to be overburdened. There are different levels to burden. There is also a display that will tell you to drop a weapon once you become overburdened.

• Level 1: with a burden of 3 your maximum health is reduced by 5 hearts and armor max is capped to half.
• Level 2: with a burden of 4 your maximum health is reduced by a further 2.5 hearts, armor has no effect outside of enchantments, and you can no longer have absorption
• Level 3: at a burden of 5 you are on half a heart and all previous stages apply
• Level 4: any further burden kills you.

The Arsenal

1. Harpe

• Summary: A sword that bypasses armor
• Damage: 2
• Tooltip: "Skies Bane"
• Inspiration: Harpe was inspired by a sword of the same name from Greek mythology. It was the sword used by Chronus to kill his father Uranus. I focused on the part of being able to wound a god. If it could wound a god it could wound anything adn thus the idea of bypassing armor was born.

• Active Ability: Blinding Light
  • Effects: Glowing and Blindness to everyone in 5 blocks while active.

  • Cooldown: 7 minutes
• Tooltip: "Sword of a King"
• Inspiration: Caliburn is another name for Excalibur. When King Arthur first drew the sword in combat it glowed and blinded his opponenet leading to his victory. That event lead to the inspiration of an active ability that blinds your opponent.

  • Windup: 15 seconds

The blade can never be drawn without the death of a man and must be sheathed with blood fresh on its blade, and no living being can live to see another day once wounded. This became a sword that can kill easily, but at a high risk.
