Dune : Maker's Crysknife & More

This mod adds the sacred Fremen weapon, the crysknife, and more from Frank Herbert's novel Dune. It's a must have mod for anyone who wants a Dune-themed world, or even just a new weapon with deadly statistics. As of now, this mod does not require any dependencies and it is very light weight.

This weapon can be used as a replacement for your sword. It has a base attack damage of 5.5 and a base attack speed of 3.5, making it a weapon optimized for fast critical hits.

Craft the Spice Refinery, power it with redstone, and obtain melange. Don't know if you should it consume it though...

It is found only in desert pyramids; each chest has a 3.125% chance of having the crysknife (other methods of obtaining will be added in the future) or, if you download the Desert Behemoths : Sandworms mod, you can craft the crysknife using a sandworm tooth and a stick.

Long Live the Fighters!

I have a few updates planned for the future including custom enchantments and compatability with other mods.
