How to Craft Weapons and Upgrade to Netherite

The Epic Knights Addon features 20 different weapon types. Rather than using standard stick-and-ingot vanilla recipes, weapons in this addon are built from modular parts and allow you to block incoming attacks during combat.

Assembling Weapons

To forge any of the new medieval weapon types, follow this general crafting flow:

1. Gather vanilla leather and craft it into leather strips.

2. Use those leather strips at a crafting table to make weapon hilts and poles.

3. Combine your finished hilts and poles with your chosen head or blade material. You can craft weapons out of wood, stone, gold, iron, steel, or diamond.

Choosing Weapon Materials and Upgrading

When picking a material for your combat loadout, keep the stat differences in mind:

• Steel vs. Diamond: Steel weapons share the exact same attack damage as vanilla iron weapons, though they last longer due to boosted durability. If you want higher raw damage, craft your hilts and poles with diamond instead.
• Netherite Upgrades: You cannot craft Netherite weapons directly from hilts and poles. Just like in vanilla Minecraft, take your finished diamond-tier weapon to a Smithing Table to upgrade it into Netherite.
• Combat Tip: Remember to use the block function while holding most of the addon's weapons to mitigate damage in melee fights.
