Better Survival mod
Bring new depth to combat and expand crafting possibilities with this extensive modification that adds diverse weapons, unique enchantments, and new alchemical recipes.
Combat Arsenal
Hammer
This two-handed club possesses impressive power but requires patience due to its slow attack speed. Its powerful strike stuns enemies for several seconds and knocks them back further than normal. When surrounded by enemies, use the special ability - ground slam, which deals damage, stuns, and knocks back everyone around. However, this ability has a long cooldown and significantly wears down the weapon.
Nunchaku
A light and fast weapon with minimal enemy knockback. Unique feature - you can hold the attack button to make the nunchaku spin and automatically attack at maximum speed. With each subsequent hit, the weapon's damage gradually increases.
Dagger
Although the dagger is weaker than a sword, it allows for faster attacks and requires fewer resources to craft. Its main advantage is the ability to deal massive additional damage when attacking from behind, making it ideal for stealth attacks in PvP.
Battle Axe
An improved version of the regular axe that can be enchanted as a proper weapon. The battle axe not only deals more damage but can also disarm opponents instead of simply blocking their shield.
Note: When disarming non-player entities, the item is usually destroyed rather than dropped to prevent easy farming.
Spear
Perfect for those who prefer to keep enemies at a distance. The spear has an extended attack range and can be used as a throwing weapon. It functions more like a consumable - cannot be enchanted, can be stacked, and has a chance to break with each use.
Crossbow
This ranged alternative to the bow deals more damage and has faster arrow velocity, but requires longer reload time. Unique feature - you can maintain the loaded state of the weapon until the moment of shooting, using the same arrows as the bow.
