Sterling

🎯 Mod Features

The Sterling mod introduces a collection of new and enhanced weaponry, each with unique abilities and combat styles while maintaining the authentic Minecraft vanilla feel.

⚔️ New Melee Weapons

Five completely new weapon types have been added, craftable from all available materials:

Parrying Blade - slower than a standard sword but provides additional defense when held. Higher tier materials offer greater protection.

Pike - powerful long-range weapon with one additional block of attack range. Heavy construction reduces attack speed. Lacks sweeping attack, incompatible with Sweeping Edge enchantment but can be enchanted with Impaling. Also supports the new Lengthening enchantment.

Scythe - the heaviest weapon in the collection. Slow attacks are compensated by high damage and extra half-block range. Supports Lengthening enchantment.

Shortsword - light and agile weapon with high attack speed but reduced damage and range. Attack speed further increases when wielding a second shortsword of the same material in the offhand.

Warhammer - heavy weapon capable of stunning targets. Stun effect activates only with fully charged attacks, causing a flash and inflicting slowness for 0.5 seconds. Supports the new Concussion enchantment.

🏹 Enhanced Bows

Reinforced Bows - crafted from gold, iron, diamond, and netherite. Increase damage and durability.

Stabilized Bow - crafted from copper and slimeball. Features perfect accuracy.

🎯 New Arrow Types

Four unique arrow types with special functions have been added:

Amethyst Arrow - crafted from amethyst (produces twice as many arrows as flint). Emits a distinctive sound when hitting any enemy. Destroyed upon impact with blocks.

Ethereal Arrow - crafted from phantom membrane. Ignores gravity. Falls to the ground when significantly slowed.

Quartz Arrow - splits into five quartz shards after traveling a certain distance. Each shard deals full arrow damage.

Sonic Arrow - crafted from echo shards. Ignores gravity, stationary when fired. Rapidly accelerates and emits sonic boom at maximum speed, pierces up to 10 enemies. Destroyed upon impact with blocks.

✨ New Enchantments

Lengthening - increases attack range by 0.5 blocks per level. Maximum level: 2. Applicable to scythes and pikes.

Concussion - increases stun duration by 0.125 seconds per level. Maximum level: 4. Applicable to warhammers.
