Spartan Weaponry Unofficial FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start crafting weapons in Spartan Weaponry?
Begin by gathering standard materials like wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamond, then use a crafting table to combine them into weapon blanks or finished pieces. Check the crafting recipe interface in-game to see the exact layout for your desired weapon type.
What's the difference between heavy swords and regular swords?
Heavy swords swing slower but deal more damage per hit and often come with special traits like armor piercing or wider sweep attacks. Regular swords are faster but less powerful, making them better for hit-and-run tactics.
How do special attack traits work?
Each weapon has unique passive traits—like armor piercing that ignores enemy protection, or sweep hits that damage multiple mobs at once—that activate automatically during combat. The trait depends on the weapon type and material used.
Can I use modded ores like copper and bronze?
Yes, if you have mods that add copper, tin, bronze, or steel installed alongside Spartan Weaponry, you can craft weapons from these materials using the same crafting recipes. The mod automatically integrates with common ore packs.
What ranged weapons does this mod add?
The mod includes longbows, crossbows, and throwing knives as your main ranged options. Throwing knives are single-use projectiles, while bows and crossbows use arrows or bolts like vanilla weapons.
Should I use polearms or blunt weapons for tanking?
Blunt weapons like maces and hammers are better for raw damage and crowd control, while polearms like halberds and pikes offer reach and armor-piercing traits. Choose based on whether you want to tank close-range or keep enemies at distance.
Why does my weapon swing so slowly?
Heavy weapons intentionally have slower swing speeds to balance their higher damage output. If you want faster combat, switch to lighter weapons like daggers or shorter swords.
Do these weapons work with enchantments?
Yes, Spartan Weaponry items can be enchanted like vanilla tools, allowing you to stack special traits with enchantment effects for even more powerful combinations.
Is this mod compatible with other weapon mods?
Spartan Weaponry generally plays well with other mods, but having multiple weapon mods active may cause inventory clutter or recipe conflicts. Test your mod combination and disable conflicting packs if needed.
What's the best weapon for fighting armored mobs?
Weapons with armor-piercing traits, like certain spears and heavy swords, are most effective against heavily armored enemies since they ignore or reduce protection. Pair these with your best materials for maximum effect.
