Use Botanic Combat Shovels for Botania compatibility
You ever think it would be fun to fight zombies with a shovel? No? Just me? Ok then.
This mod adds a new type of weapon, the combat shovel! They're a combination of shovel and sword, so they can dig the same blocks a shovel can while also being a viable weapon. Additionally, combat shovels can get both shovel and sword enchantments (except sweeping edge).
As a bonus, combat shovels have a special right click attack. Hold right click to charge up a stunning blow that will deal some knockback as well as applying slowness and nausea to the target. There are 2 special enchants that can be applied to combat shovels to buff this right click attack. Stunning will increase the duration of the effects it causes, while Crushing will increase its damage.
There is a combat shovel for every vanilla tier, and there are more tiers planned for modded materials
Feel free to use this in whatever. Credit would be nice but eh I don't really care.
A fabric version is not planned
