Specialized weapons with distinct combat roles, active mechanics, and meaningful tradeoffs.

Nanonaitor's Arsenal reimagines weapons from history and legend as mechanically unique Minecraft equipment. It brings old ideas into Minecraft with new combat identities.

Materials and Progression

Morning Star and Armor Fracture

Fully charged Morning Star hits apply one level of Armor Fracture. Each level reduces armor by 20%.

Armor Fracture lasts 30 seconds on mobs and 10 seconds on players.

Paired Claws

• Left click attacks with the main-hand Claw.
• Right click attacks with the linked off-hand Claw.
• Fully charged alternating attacks pierce invulnerability frames.
• Every 4th properly alternating, fully charged hit is a guaranteed critical.
• Both Claws share durability and enchantments.
• Equipping another off-hand item disables the linked Claw.
• Changing weapons automatically removes the temporary linked Claw.

Flails

• Hold attack to continuously spin the Flail.
• Strikes every visible enemy within 4 blocks.
• Cannot mine blocks while spinning.
• Cannot spin while blocking with a shield.
• Uses animated 3D Iron Chain links and a material-colored weapon head.

Battering Rams

• Two-handed weapons that require an empty offhand.
• Hold attack to begin a forward-running charge.
• Smashes a tier-dependent 3×3 path through terrain.
• Higher material tiers can destroy progressively harder blocks.
• Entity damage scales with the attack charge when the ram begins.
• Breaking blocks and hitting enemies consumes durability.
• Charging consumes hunger.

Ball & Chain

Hold attack to perform charging swings, then release to throw the ball forward. The ball damages enemies once while traveling outward and again while returning.

Charging swings:

• Deal 0.5× base/attribute damage.
• Apply enchantment damage, enchanted knockback, and post-hit enchantment effects.
• Build one charge per completed revolution.

Thrown damage and reach:

Gold skips the middle charge stage and reaches full power after two revolutions.

Fully charged throws gain tier-scaled armor piercing and apply Armor Fracture once on the outgoing hit. Mob armor can be permanently reduced, while players receive a temporary armor-reduction effect.

Changing weapons during the throw or return safely cancels the active attack.

Sun-War Bulwark

• Provides 15% passive damage reduction while 2-handed.
• Blocks directed attacks from every side while guarding.
• Attacks deal 1 damage + the user's total armor points.
• Attacking while guarding performs a 4-block area bash.
• A successful bash deactivates the shield goes on cooldown.
• Requires an empty offhand for every ability.
• Applies a 40% movement penalty while carried.
• Applies a 75% movement penalty while guarding.
• Does not block environmental hazards such as falling, fire, lava, drowning, starvation, or similar damage.
