How to Craft and Choose Cursed Metal Weapons

As you move past Lesser enemies toward Elite mini-bosses and Bosses, standard Minecraft equipment quickly becomes outmatched. The mod introduces seven craftable weapons, including high-tier gear forged from Cursed Metal.

Acquiring Cursed Metal Gear

To survive dangerous dimensions and high-difficulty encounters, you will need to upgrade your arsenal:

• Defeat hostile threats distributed across the Overworld, the Nether, and the End dimensions to acquire combat materials.
• Use Cursed Metal materials to forge specialized melee equipment at a standard crafting table.
• Craft distinct weapons such as the Katana, the Halberd, or the Monster Slayer to handle different combat situations.

Matching Weapons to Combat Tiers

Different weapon choices help you deal with the mod's four distinct combat tiers:

• Lesser and Challenging Enemies: Fast melee weapons like the Katana allow you to dispatch lone threats quickly and react swiftly to aggressive Normal mobs without taking unnecessary hits.
• Elite Mini-Bosses and Bosses: Slower, heavier weapons like the Halberd and Monster Slayer deliver the high damage output needed to defeat tough Elite mini-bosses and full Boss encounters like the forest Wendigo.
• Keep your Cursed Metal weapons equipped on your hotbar whenever exploring dark birch forests, deep mineshafts, or alternate dimensions.
