Runic Arsenal
The Runic Arsenal project significantly expands Minecraft's weaponry arsenal by adding numerous weapons from real life and fantasy works. The mod draws inspiration from games like Minecraft Dungeons, Craft Warriors, and others.
Although Better Combat is not required for the mod to function, its use is highly recommended for the full gaming experience.

Version 1.0 Content
Now swords can be crafted from copper and amethyst, which are included in all weapon sets. An important change to note: crafting diamond tools, armor, and weapons requires diamond ingots instead of raw diamonds.
Each weapon set includes two unique specimens with special abilities. Materials for creating special weapons, such as rubies and amber, can be purchased from weaponsmith and toolsmith traders.
