Balanced Weapons
In Minecraft, there are three primary enchantments for swords and axes: Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods. However, in practice, players almost always choose only Sharpness, occasionally using Smite for hunting wither skeletons or the wither.
To fix this situation, this mod adds the following improvements:
-
When hitting an entity with a weapon enchanted with Smite, you gain the Haste I effect for 2-6 seconds (duration depends on enchantment level), which increases your attack speed by 10%.
-
When hitting an entity with a weapon enchanted with Bane of Arthropods, you gain the Speed I effect for 1-3 seconds (duration depends on enchantment level).
The goal of these changes is to make these enchantments useful in addition to their main effects. For example, axes with Smite deal high damage but have low attack speed, so the Haste effect will be particularly valuable. And swords with Bane of Arthropods will help catch up with fleeing players or maintain distance while shooting with a bow.
This mod was created quite quickly, so you can freely modify the effect values as you see fit.
