DaggerCrafting is a Minecraft mod that introduces throwable daggers as a new weapon type, blending fast-paced melee and ranged combat. Each dagger's stats and behavior are determined by it's material, offering new strategic options. Also it's a lot of fun!
DaggerCrafting transcends traditional weapon types, offering a unique blended combat experience. Engage enemies up close with rapid melee strikes, then seamlessly transition to ranged assaults by precisely throwing your dagger. This dual functionality encourages dynamic combat strategies, allowing you to adapt on the fly whether clearing crowds or picking off distant foes.
Daggers are crafted using a stick and a piece of the corresponding material, placed diagonally in a crafting grid.
When holding and releasing the right mouse button, the dagger will be thrown, similar to tridents.
- The damage the dagger deals on impactand the speed with which the dagger is thrown are based on the dagger's material.
- The knockback: Knockback is essential for repeated attacks with a dagger, so Creepers etc. are kept at range. The force of a dagger's knockback is directly proportional to it's velocity when it hits a target. This means daggers thrown with greater initial speed (due to their material or the Throwing Speed enchantment) will send enemies flying further!
When in the main hand, the dagger will work just like a sword, but with less damage and a faster attack speed.
Daggers support the following vanilla enchantments:
- Loyalty
- Unlike vanilla tridents, a dagger's Loyalty enchantment scales directly with it's material's base throwing velocity! High-tier daggers, like Diamond, return significantly faster, enabling quicker follow-up throws and a fluid ranged combat experience. Essential for viability as a ranged weapon.
- Fire Aspect
- Works just like in vanilla. Sets the target on fire for 5 seconds on melee attacks.
- Flame
- Works just like in vanilla. Sets the dagger and target on fire for 5 seconds on ranged attacks.
These enchantments work just like in vanilla. Their modifiers are applied on melee and ranged attacks. All listed vanilla enchantments, except Mending, can be obtained through an enchanting table. Mending can be applied via an anvil.
- Sharpness
- Smite
- Bane of Arthropods
- Mending: Compatible with daggers, obtained via anvil.
- Throwing Speed
- The Throwing Speed enchantment (Levels I-III) is a game-changer for ranged dagger combat. Each level significantly boosts your dagger's initial throwing velocity, leading to:
- Extended Range: Hit targets from much further away.
- Increased Knockback: Amplify the unique velocity-based knockback, sending foes reeling. This enchantment truly unlocks the full potential of daggers as a primary ranged weapon.
