Nihon Blacksmithing Mod (26.2, 1.20.1) – Forge Authentic Japanese Swords

Nihon Blacksmithing Mod brings real Japanese weapon smithing mechanics into Minecraft. Players collect iron sand from river biomes and turn it into special metal blocks. You heat, hammer, and assemble each piece of your blade step by step. The process rewards careful work with powerful weapons like katanas and naginatas. Every sword requires real preparation instead of simple crafting table recipes.

Features:

• Traditional Weapons: Adds Japanese blades including the Katana, Nodachi, Naginata, Tanto, and Kunai.
• River Iron Sand: Spawns iron sand deposits along river shores to start your forging journey.
• Tamahagane Smelting: Turns collected black sand into authentic high-carbon steel ingots.
• Multi-Step Forging: Requires heating, coating in sandy clay, and tempering blades before assembly.
• Detailed Sword Parts: Lets you craft individual fittings such as the tsuba handguard, kashira pommel, and mekugi peg.
• Better Combat Support: Works smoothly alongside weapon animations from the Better Combat mod.
• Sharpen finished blades on a whetstone block to prepare them for battle.
• Craft blades in different traditional shaku lengths to build distinct weapon sizes.

• Katana: classic curved sword built for balanced strikes.
• Nodachi: long two-handed blade with extended melee range.
• Naginata: polearm weapon suited for keeping hostile mobs away.
• Tanto: short dagger designed for fast attacks in tight spaces.
