The Epic Knights Mod for Minecraft

ABOUT THE EPIC KNIGHTS MOD!

The Epic Knights Mod is a historically accurate medieval armour and weapons mod. The addon currently has 25+ different armour sets and 30+ different weapon types in all vanilla resources plus a new material - Steel!

The mod is heavily based around Java’s Epic Knights Mod and in light of this, we have made it compatible with 3D combat by pixelleddoki to provide incredible attack animations and abilities. It is highly recommended you use 3D combat with the mod also to further advance the combat. Most weapons in the addon have the ability to block attacks! When used correctly, this addon brings a unique experience to Minecraft.

HOW TO PLAY

In Epic Knights, the main resources are leather, wool and iron, these are essential if you want to progress quickly within the addon.

Let's start with leather, leather can be used to make leather strips which are then used to make hilts and poles. Also, in the addon the boots slot is reserved for surcoats and capes.

These can then be combined with gold, diamond, iron, steel, wood and stone to make weapons! Netherite like in vanilla is crafted through the smithing table.

Next is wool, wool can be used to craft woollen cloth which is used to craft surcoats, capes and the Gambeson armour set.

Lastly, we have iron. Iron is, as usual in Minecraft, an essential resource. Iron can be smelted to obtain the best resource in the addon - Steel. Steel in terms of weaponary is worse than diamond, but is better than iron, having higher durability but the same attack damage.

However, Steel is used to craft every armour in the addon, so procuring it is a must if you wish to advance quickly.

Lacquered Iron is a new material used to make Samurai Armour and is made up of iron ingots and nuggets.

EXTRAS

UPDATE 1.0.4

Barding Horse Armour

• After so many requests, we have added Barding Horse Armour to the addon. Like other horse armours, Barding is found in chests scattered around the world.
• As we have edited the Horse files, the Epic Knights Resource Pack should be at the top of the load order when using other addons to be on the safe side.

Royal Helms

• This update adds the new Golden Crown item, which grants the user 2 Armour Points and will likely provide some form of effect in the future.

• What if I want to charge into battle with my crown? Well... You Can! You can combine the Golden Crown item with 1 of 8 helms to create its Royal Helm version, which has the crown visible to others and buffs the helmet with another 150 durability!

Placeable Helms

• In this update, you now have a new way to decorate! Players are now able to place down helmets as a form of decoration.
• DISCLAIMER: placing down Helms DOES NOT STORE DATA, so ANY ENCHANTMENTS/NAMES on Helms WILL BE LOST, DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ENCHANTS ON!!!

Buckler

• The Buckler is a new item which gives the user Resistance I when in the Offhand.

UPDATE 1.0.5

Info Book

• This is a new item that acts like a guide book for the addon. Inside you can learn the addon's recipes, mechanics and attributes of each armour and weapon all in one place!

• To turn pages, right click to move forward, crouch, right click to move backwards to pick up, left click.

Dual-Wielding

• Dual-Wielding has been narrowed slightly, for example, you gain effects when you dual wield a weapon of the same material and type. For example, a Steel Ninjato must have a Steel Ninjato in the offhand in order to gain effects while dual-wielding, this nerfs dual wielding in certain situations and makes it so you won't gain effects as soon as you put a dual-wieldable weapon in your offhand; also, Stilleto is now dual-wieldable. The Wakizashi is paired with the katana as its dual-wielding weapon.
• Dual-Wieldable weapons are now marked in the inventory with Lore.

Two-Handed Debuff

• Some Weapons in the adding have the Two-Handed debuff, there are two grades to this debuff:
• Two-Handed I - Curses the user with Weakness when anything is placed in the offhand.
• Two-Handed II - Curses the user with Slowness and Weakness when anything is placed in the offhand.
• Weapons with this debuff are marked with ‘Two-Handed’ followed by the grade of the debuff.

Mobs Spawning

• Mobs now have a chance to spawn with Rusted Equipment! The chance of this is higher the harder the difficulty.

Surcoats, Crests and Cloaks

In Epic Knights, the boot armour slot is used for surcoats/capes. Surcoats are crafted with woolen cloth, wool and the dye of your choice (excluding pink, lime, cyan, light gray, magenta) please note that surcoats are still not fully done in terms of combinations! You can add 2 Crests to your surcoats or shields.

At the moment the addon adds 2 crests (we will add more in the future):

• Dragon Crest
• Two-Headed Eagle Crest

There is also the Half and Half Surcoat, at the moment it is not possible to add a crest to these:
