⚠️ Minecraft Bugs That Affect This Mod

• ❌ Problem: Minecraft 1.21.10 and below has a bug that causes item models in Vanilla Minecraft to have visible gaps.
• 🟢 Solution:
• 1.21.10 and earlier: I strongly recommend using the Model Gap Fix mod
• 1.21.11+: Mojang has fixed this bug in 1.21.11 (MC-73186)
• ❌ Problem:

Minecraft 1.21+ has a bug (MC-271840) that stops damage increase enchantments (like Sharpness and Might) from showing the damage increase in a weapon's tooltip.

• 🟢 Solution:
• 1.21 - 1.21.4: Install Legendary Tooltips
• 1.21.10+: Make sure you're using Basic Weapons 2.2.2+1.21.10 or later, which includes a fix for any weapon that accepts Sharpness or Might.

Basic Weapons adds six new tiered melee weapon types to complement the existing sword, axe and spear in Minecraft. Each weapon is balanced around damage, attack speed, crafting costs, attack reach and special effects. If you have Better Combat installed, the weapons are also balanced around number of enemies hit and combos.

Weapons should feel unique, powerful, easy to use and fair. I made Basic Weapons because I was looking around for weapon mods that would fit seamlessly into vanilla gameplay, and didn't quite find what I was looking for. I hope that in creating Basic Weapons, I've made that search a little easier for those of you who've had a similar experience.

This high level overview should give you an idea of what each weapon is good and bad at:

Weapon — Damage — Speed — Baseline Effect — Reach

Vanilla Sword — Medium — Medium — Sweeping — Medium

Vanilla Axe — High — Slow — Shield Break — Medium

Dagger — Low — Fast — Medium

Club — High — Slow — Slow target — Medium

Hammer — High — Very Slow — Knock target upwards — Medium

Pike — Medium — Medium — Very High

Quarterstaff — Low — Medium — Sweeping — High

| Glaive | High | Very Slow | Sweeping
