Maulve's Scythes is a Vanilla+ mod that adds scythes as new weapons. These slightly differ from swords, because they always sweep attack. You can also mine crops and other plant blocks in a 3x2 area!

🗺️ Roadmap
The last update this mod will receive is version 2.0.
2.0
- full configuration
- NeoForge support
- scythes in loot tables (likely end cities and ancient cities)

2.0 was originally supposed to release in March 2025, but it didn't due to my lack of motivation and time. Don't expect its release anytime soon.
