Content

Quiver and Arrows

the quiver is an item that when put into a custom inventory slot (found in the Curios menu) unlocks extra arrow slots for your arrow needs. The arrows in this slot will be used first before taking out of your main inventory. There are also iron, diamond, and Netherite arrows available in both regular and tipped forms. these increase in damage as the material gets more expensive. The mod changes the texture and name of the vanilla arrow to look more consistently like a flint arrow as the current arrow already looks too much like an Iron one. Along with this you can now cycle the arrows in the quiver to change which stack is used first. To do this click the Hotkeys Z and X. There is also a hud display that sows you the first stack to be used along with the last stack and next one. This display is only shown if you are holding a bow or crossbow and appears next to your offhand slot.

Gauntlets

Gauntlets that serve as both armor and an increase in damage. These can be equipped using the Curios Hands slot. They can also be enchanted to provide knock back and/or knock back resistance. However, when holding a weapon of any kind the damage they add gets cut in half.

Shield progression

the Shield progression is the most detailed part of this mod with lots of veriety and end results.

The current system is a 5 "slot" system with crafting done in the smithing table. All applied materials increase the durability of the shield with the amount changing based on the material. Each Material can be used to increase or decrease the shields mending capability once the mending enchantment is applied. Materials can get replaced however you do not get the previous material back. Some materials require specific materials to already be on the shield in order to be placed on it. an example of this is netherite which requires diamond before it and will only replace diamond. materials such as netherite (currently netherite is the only one) only require one ingot to replace all diamond slots in the shield. if you have jei installed you will se these recipes with it.

Bow/Crossbow Progression

The Bow progression for this mod is similar to the shield progression though it is more linear. As the bow progresses it gets a longer range though you want to be careful as having the bow unbalanced with different materials in each slot causes the bow to shoot suboptimally.

Melee Weapons

There are a vast number of weapons in this mod ranging from swords and scythes to hammers and maces. All the different types have varying strengths and weaknesses that are viewable in the tooltips of the items. There are many attributes to each including damage, range, attack speed, and rate of repair for mending.

Enchantments

• Knockback Resistance can be applied to gauntlets and just as it is named resists knockback. this is not compatible with knockback.
• Agility can be applied to gauntlets, chestplates, leggings, and boots giving a different effect based on the type of item. this ranges from attack speed to jump boost and dodging.
• Blocking can be applied to katanas and shields. while on katanas it increases the blockable arrows, on shields it increases their effectiveness.

Configurability

Nearly everything in this mod is configurable. from item damage amounts to crafting type to enchantability.
