This datapack adds a wide variety of powerful magical weapons and staves into the game, alongside two new classes of melee weapons and two powerful ranged weapons! I wanted to add more variety to the weapons that already exist in Minecraft, while still allowing the existing weapons to stay powerful and reliable!

Legendary weapons 2.0 adds some new staves, some new magical weapons, a neat and tidy recipe/crafting system as well as a complete refactor, rebalance and polish of all weapons and staves previously in the pack!

My intention is to finish what Mojang started when they added Tridents and Maces to the game. Both weapons are super fun and interesting, but right now it feels like there's a small selection of "Legendary weapons".

None of the weapons are found, and all are crafted. The second image shows the crafting recipes for each weapon. Thanks to 1.21.5's new and improved item system, they have their own recipes and can be crafted just like any other item!

Recipes are usually unlocked by picking up a material used to craft the item, however a few items require killing certain enemies etc instead.

Magical abilities (right clicking) can be used on many of the weapons and all of the staves. This will consume some XP, depending on how powerful the ability is. There are some exceptions. For example, the Wither Scythe causes the user to sacrifice some of their own health instead of using XP.

Hammers will actually slow the player's movement speed slightly, and take even longer to swing than axes. However, they deal massive damage and can be enchanted like a sword.

Daggers are incredibly fast and can parry attacks (although much worse than a shield), only slightly slower than fists and can be enchanted like a sword. However, they deal a lot less damage!

Magical staves and weapons do not lose durability when using their right click abilities. It instead costs XP. However, they do lose durability when left click hitting enemies! Staves and weapons are often repaired using similar materials used to craft them (Copper ingots repair the Obliterator etc)

One of my biggest inspirations for this project were games like Terraria, which have a massive variety of cool weapons and magic staves, each with their own unique powers. Crafting these powerful weapons is no small task. Some of them require expensive materials, but in turn are incredibly powerful in certain situations!

Performance and Balance are at the heart of this datapack. This datapack does not modify the tick function at all! Additionally, lots of care and attention has been taken to make sure swords, axes, bows, crossbows, tridents and maces are equally powerful to these weapons and still completely viable.

Due to changes in how tipped arrows work, it currently seems impossible (or just really difficult and janky) to give the Obliterator and Ancient Legion Bow special arrows. Instead, they now use regular arrows for the time being, but instead have cooldowns to make sure bows and crossbows remain viable.

All models were also created by me.

Legendary Weapons:

Wither Scythe: This terrifying reaper of souls is expensive to craft, but is a quick and powerful melee weapon that can cut down any foe. Right clicking unleashes the wither's deadly power to apply the Wither effect to all nearby creatures at the cost of some health.

Enderblade: This unstable Katana is quick, powerful and mysterious. Right clicking allows the user to slice forward through space and time, teleporting in the direction they look and slicing through anything in their way.

Phantom Rapier: This ghostly piercing weapon is relatively weak, but compensates for this by imbuing the wielder with a ghostly essence. The wielder becomes lighter, being able to jump higher, run faster and with lower gravity. However, as the user abandons their physical form, their armour is halved as a result, and knockback increased.

Starving Blade: This twisted sword of the deep dark hungers for the souls of the fallen. It's slow and weak when dormant. But when the user feeds it XP, it awakens and imbues the user with the terrifying power of an angry Warden, allowing them to chase down and slaughter foes.

Warden's Pick: This giant sculk war pick contains the colossal power of a Warden. It's extremely slow but hits incredibly hard. The user also becomes an unstoppable giant. It's also technically a Netherite pickaxe!

Crystal Resonator: This giant crystal tuning fork is also a deadly weapon. The wielder of this instrument can resonate to clearly see the surrounding environment and all nearby enemies. It also applies the same effect to the nearest player!

Ender Gauntlet: This giant hunk of supercharged obsidian will send anyone who dares challenge you flying!

Solais: This legendary sword uses the radiance of the nether star to separate the living from the dead. It excels at slaughtering undead and can also heal nearby creatures.

Ancient Legion Bow: This bow contains the power of an entire legion of ancient underwater warriors. Firing an arrow up into the air unleashes a rain of tridents down onto foes!

Obliterator: This terrifying Redstone contraption once loaded, will charge up a bolt with a massive payload of Redstone energy! Unleash the supercharged bolt to Obliterate anything in front of you!

Magical Staves

Wither Staff: This destructive staff is expensive to craft, but sends flying exploding wither skulls towards your enemies! Hit an enemy directly to cripple them with the wither effect, hit a group of enemies to damage them all, or even shoot weaker blocks to destroy them!

Inferno Staff: This flaming staff will send a bombardment of fireballs towards your foes! Set a horde of enemies on fire, scorch the world around you, or just use it to light a nether portal. The choice is yours!

Shulker Staff: This handy staff is a fantastic mobility tool that allows you to effortlessly float up to any height! Use it to toggle the levitation effect on and off, allowing you to get up anywhere, any time!

Shadow Staff: This mysterious staff is a bad omen. Using voodoo magic, the staff allows you to disappear into a puff of smoke and escape any tricky situation! As long as the darkness doesn't make things worse that is...

Rotten Staff: This horrific staff is a crude totem created to worship death, decay and chaos. Calling upon it's powers spawns a rancid and terrifying Zoglin to kill anything it can see! The Zoglin makes for a fantastic distraction and powerful warrior during chaotic battles. But be careful not to get in it's way!

Lightning Staff: This powerful staff is simple but effective. It's copper frame and enchanted diamond call upon lightning to destroy your foes!

Evoker Staff: This vicious staff calls upon the dark magic of the Evokers to summon a line of ravenous spirits in front of the user!

Creakling Staff: This strange staff uses the strength of a young Creakling to hold enemies still! Use it to escape quick foes or hold them still for another damage source to effortlessly destroy them!

Breeze Staff: This windy staff can summon floating, extra-powerful wind charges. Punch these charges to send them flying at any time!
