Junior's Open Smash Bats
Welcome to the world of dynamic battles with baseball bats! This modification represents an open-source adaptation and further development of the famous Smash Bats mod by Tsuteto for Minecraft versions 1.7.10.
What Weapons Will Appear in Your Arsenal?
The mod offers nine unique baseball bats divided into two main categories.
Standard Models
Five classic variants based on traditional Minecraft materials:
- Wooden Smash Bat
- Iron Smash Bat
- Golden Smash Bat
- Diamond Smash Bat
- Netherite Smash Bat (available with Future MC mod installed)
Specialized Models
Four bats with unique properties and abilities:
- Blast Smash Bat
- Creeper Smash Bat
- Riding Smash Bat
- Thunder Smash Bat
What's Special About Different Bat Types?
Basic models perform the main function: knock back opponents to a distance corresponding to the material's strength. However, the true power is revealed in special bats, each possessing a unique ability.
For example, the Blast Bat creates an explosion upon impact, throwing mobs or even your companions significantly farther. The Riding Bat allows you to mount creatures you just knocked back, using them as transportation vehicles. Explore all options in-game — unforgettable experiences guaranteed!
