⚔️ Long Swords & Battle Axes Feel the true weight of your weapons.
Long Swords & Battle Axes is a meticulously crafted combat expansion for Minecraft Fabric (1.26.2). It completely bypasses Minecraft's vanilla 2D item rendering and static swing animations to introduce a fully custom, mathematics-based 3D animation engine. Say goodbye to floating popsicle sticks and generic swings; say hello to heavy, visceral, and beautifully modeled weaponry.
✨ Key Features 🗡️ True 3D Voxel Models Every weapon is constructed with complex, multi-element 3D geometry.
Long Swords feature diamond-shaped pommels, leather-wrapped grips, wide crossguards, and a sharp tapering blade with beveled edges. Battle Axes feature extended reach handles, dual-leather grips, and a massive, devastating crescent double-head. Fully isometric 3D GUI rendering ensures your inventory looks as heavy as your strikes. ⚙️ Custom Animation Engine & Plunging Attacks We wrote a custom animation interceptor directly into the ItemInHandRenderer.
Swords perform a rapid, sweeping diagonal slash. Axes perform a heavy, crushing overhead strike. Critical Plunge: If you attack while falling, the animation dynamically shifts into a brutal 150-degree downward plunging strike! Custom Audio: Hear the high-pitched slice of the air with the Long Sword, and the deep, heavy woosh of the Battle Axe. 🔥 Special Right-Click Abilities Both weapons come with unique, cooldown-based right-click abilities:
Long Sword - Dash & Slash (5s Cooldown): Thrust yourself forward at high speed while leaving a trail of sweeping wind and flames in your wake. Battle Axe - Earth Crush (7s Cooldown): Smash the absolute weight of your axe into the ground, throwing dirt blocks into the air and releasing a dense shockwave of smoke. ⚖️ Balanced for Endgame Combat Power comes at a price.
Extended Reach: Long Swords deal slightly less raw damage than vanilla swords, but grant an innate 4-Block Interaction Range (+1 Reach), allowing you to space out your enemies flawlessly. Hybrid Enchanting: Battle Axes act as hybrid weapons. They can accept BOTH Axe enchantments and Sword enchantments at the Enchanting Table and Anvil.
