The mod for anyone who wants something other than a sword but not fifty new weapons or ridiculously overpowered weapons. For the people who just want to keep things simple.
All credit for the code in this mod goes to nerd-boy. I don't care to get any. He is a coding genius and this wouldn't be here without him. If you like it, plus him, not me. If you'd like to make a review/spotlight of this mod, HE MUST BE MENTIONED IN IT.

FAQ
"Add *blank* weapon!"
As soon as this reaches full release with the 7 planned weapons I am most likely done adding new weapons. Though I am always open to suggestions and if yours is intriguing I may pursue it.
"Add *blank* throwing weapon!"
At the time, that is not a possibility. nerd-boy's mod battlegear simply won't allow it.
"Will you add throwing weapons in the future?"
Possible? You'd be better off asking nerd-boy
"Can/Will you make this for SMP?"
Planning on it.
"Bro don't waste your time -balkon's weapon mod-"
I will have Notch himself punch you in the face.

This seems cool. Perhaps add a millstone to make the sword's damage greater without having to use the enchantment table.
To essentially sharpen it? Any weapon with a blade or just the sword? I don't think this would be a bad idea if it was something like you use a sword with a ingot of the same type and you get a "sharp sword" which will up the damage to be as effective as battleaxe but the battleaxe will still have a greater knockback just because it makes sense and it's still using one more piece of material. I'll look into this.
... dude there are a lot of mods like this . DO NOT WASTE UR TIME
It's called SIMPLE. Get outta here with your two post bs. Look at simpleores vs metallurgy and how many people prefer it because it's simple. Metallurgy is still a great mod and he did a very good job with it but some people prefer simple > complex. That's what I'm aiming for with my mod.
Might be best to persue something else or other weapons, ones perhaps not already covered by Balkon's Weapon Mod
Your work so far is looking good.
Thanks for the input but again, I'm simply keeping it simple :wink.gif:
I'm making this mod for myself and simply sharing it with the community. All the weapon mods that are even remotely good either add way too much content or the weapons are extremely overpowered and make having them pointless, you might as well be playing on peaceful. 90% of the inspiration behind this is simply customization, at the moment I'm thinking of adding a few weapons that are equal to the sword and/or battleaxe in stats just to have something different. What if you don't like swords? But I can't keep making weapons that are better and better because that would make it stupid just like other mods and there's only so many variations you can do. As of now I'm really digging the idea of a mace but I'm planning on making it equivalent to the battleaxe. Once again, just to switch things up. If you'd rather bash heads with a mace than it'll be perfect for you because you'll have that opportunity but at the same time not be OP and take the little challenge that there is out of the combat.
Looks good maybe add more kind of fantasy weapons like maybe spears? anyway nice mod and i love how you keep it simple unlike other mods who just make them too big

Thanks man! I thought about spears but wasn't sure how to include them. I'd have to figure out how to make it do a poking animation instead of a slashing motion and drop the damage output a bit.
Maces are done. SMP compatibility is almost done, just needs a minor bug fix. Simple Ores compatibility should be done tonight. Need GOOD weapons ideas.
Sorry that SimpleOres compatibility is taking so long, I really don't have much time for modding what with school and all at the moment. However, I am going to work on it some more and try to get it up for you :tongue.gif: also need to look into that SMP bug.
Thank you for keeping it simple.
No new ores, does not flood my TMI panels.
I also appreciate how you give the actual number of points hit in your first post instead of snobbishly leaving it out.
I'm annoyed by posts in other mods of people always trying to complicate a good thing.
Please resist this.
Thread will be updated tomorrow. New battleaxe textures, trying to make them look a little more badass. Finally presenting the knockback feature of the battleaxe =D BIG round of applause for the one, the only, madcrazydrumma creator of SkyrimCraft, for immensely expanding my knowledge of modding and even writing some code for me! Be sure to check out his mod and + him!

Heres a mod spotlight in 30 seconds :smile.gif: please feature? :smile.gif:
Hahaha! Not gonna lie it was pretty awesome for a 30 second spotlight, not at all what I expected. I'm updating the thread tomorrow, do another one as good as that one and you have yourself a deal!

This mod and any future mods by me (if there are any :tongue.gif:) will never be complex and will stick to my simple theme. Thank you for the good feedback, +!
What about throwing knives
weaker than bows but can be thrown faster
I think we might be long lost brothers or something because I actually had that EXACT same idea. I was thinking they'd be stackable up to like 6 maybe, something low to keep it balanced. Less range, slightly less damage but could be thrown as if you were shooting an alpha bow. Possibly in a future update my friend :wink.gif:
hasnt Balkons weapon mod already feature these?
sorry, but im going to stick with Balkons :unsure.gif:
That's totally fine. I'm glad you like that kind of mod and I hope you continue to enjoy it, this is for the people who do not. Thank you for not being a complete ass about it and simply posting your opinion, +!
Nice mod, the mace kind of looks like a spear though. If I may make a suggestion, spears would be cool, they could work like bows only with shorter range and more damage...
Alright guys the thread is updated and the new version is up and ready to be played. Also wanted to point out that this has already been downloaded over 100 times. Now I know that that is not a lot or anything to be proud of in your eyes. But, I think it's great. After all the hate the thread has endured it surprises me that so many people have tried this. This started out as being a mod just for myself to improve the game in the ways I thought it needed to be improved for my gameplay. You must remember that I only uploaded it for the people who WOULD also enjoy it. If you don't, that's totally fine, just go troll somewhere else. As always, keep it simple.

I already have an idea for throwing knives and if that happens they will probably be the extent of ranged weapons in this mod.

Also, Pi r2? Pi r not square! Pi r round!!!
My mod idea. It's about introducing genetics into minecraft.
Was having trouble with the image link, it's there now.

I don't think this would be a bad idea if it was something like you use a sword with a ingot of the same type and you get a "sharp sword" which will up the damage to be as effective as battleaxe but the battleaxe will still have a greater knockback just because it makes sense and it's still using one more piece of material.
