Mercy's Scythes

A simple mod designed to add Scythes and some custom enchantments; my first mod too!

For each tool tier, you can craft a Scythe; Three tool materials across the top, two sticks on the rightmost side, like a lopsided pickaxe - a weapon with identical damage and attack speed to an axe of the same material, while able to perform sweeping attacks and carry any enchantment a sword can, plus some.

These Scythes are designed to sit roughly between swords and axes, while also carrying their own unique gimmick and playstyle, making them more distinct.

Currently, three enchantments are included - Thundering, Swift Strike and Vortex. Thundering can be applied to any weapon and simply strikes targets with lightning, one bolt per level up to III. Credits to the Fabric docs for that concept. Swift Strike is exclusive to the Scythes and increases attack speed by 5% per level up to III; it's meant in concept to give your scythe a little more merit than just being a fancy axe. Vortex is effectively an inverted Knockback up to level III; hit an enemy, and they get pulled towards you, whilst getting weakness 255 for 10 ticks; designed to make combat more interesting for players like me who fight aggressively and hate knockback.

Inspirations/Credits:

• Simply Scythe by JujuCorp: Weapon sprite inspiration
• Fabric Docs: helping me learn how to use Fabric; Thundering enchantment concept
• KaupenJoe: his amazingly built Fabric modding tutorial series
• The lack of Scythe mods for 26.2+
• The official Minecraft wiki for images of vanilla tool textures so I could make the scythe textures accurate to vanilla
