This mod adds the sacred Fremen weapon, the crysknife, from Frank Herbert's novel Dune. It's a must have mod for anyone who wants a Dune-themed world, or even just a new weapon with deadly statistics. As of now, this mod does not require any dependencies and it is very light weight.
This weapon can be used as a replacement for your sword. It has a base attack damage of 7 and a base attack speed of 3, making it a weapon optimized for fast critical hits. For comparison the base diamond sword has 7 attack damage but 1.6 attack speed.
It is found only in desert pyramids; each chest has a 3.125% chance of having the crysknife (other methods of obtaining will be added in the future)
I have a few updates planned for the future including custom enchantments and compatability with other mods.
