Balkons Weaponmod Legacy FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get my first weapon?
Most basic weapons can be crafted at a crafting table using wood, stone, or metal ingots depending on the weapon type. Check the crafting guides for spears, knives, and other starter weapons to see which materials you have available.
What's the difference between melee and ranged weapons?
Melee weapons like spears and swords require you to be close to your target, while ranged weapons like crossbows, blowguns, and muskets let you attack from a distance. Choose based on your playstyle and the situation—ranged is safer for tough enemies, melee is better for quick encounters.
Do I need ammo for ranged weapons?
Yes, crossbows and muskets require ammunition to fire. Blowguns use darts, and other ranged weapons have their own ammo types that you'll need to craft or find.
Can I throw knives or just use them as melee?
Knives can be thrown as projectiles, making them useful for ranged attacks. You'll need to have knives in your inventory and use them like you would a bow to throw them at enemies.
How do spears work differently from swords?
Spears have extended reach, allowing you to hit enemies from further away than a sword would. This makes them excellent for keeping distance while still dealing melee damage.
What do I need to fire a 
musket?
Muskets require gunpowder and projectiles (like musket balls) to fire. You'll need to load the musket and then use it like a ranged weapon to shoot at targets.

The mod weapons offer different combat mechanics and strategic options rather than simply being stronger—spears have reach, muskets have power, and knives can be thrown. They're designed to complement vanilla combat and give you more tactical choices.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, this mod works in multiplayer and is popular for PvP servers since it adds weapon variety and tactical depth. Make sure all players have the mod installed and the server has it enabled.
Do these weapons work with enchantments?
Most mod weapons can be enchanted like vanilla tools, though some enchantments may work differently depending on the weapon type. Test enchantments on your weapons to see which ones are most effective.
Why can't I craft a weapon even though I have the materials?
Double-check the exact recipe in the crafting guide—materials must be arranged in the correct pattern and you may need specific types of wood or metal. Some weapons also require materials from other mods or specific crafting stations.
