Overview

(This information is intended for the v1.0.0-1.16.5 version, and will be updated accordingly as the mod is. Additionally, I heavily suggest using Just Enough Items or a similar mod to view the recipes; the majority are somewhat complex, being late game.)

Versal Ordnance adds a weapon - the Withered Cleaver - various materials to make it, a sidegrade armour set that focuses on exploration potential and manoeuvrability over raw defense, various potions (and the materials to make them), and a new liquid.

The Withered Cleaver deals a hefty 27 attack damage, is slower than a normal sword and faster than an axe, and inflicts Wither II and Poison II on hit. To craft it, you will need a Netherite Block, Netherite Sword, Wither Skeleton Skull, and two new items - the Corrupted Nether Star, created by smithing Dark Fluid(we'll get to that in a moment) with a Nether Star. You will also need an Artificial Dragonbone, which requires a bucket of Dark Fluid, a bone block, and a vial of dragon breath to craft.

Dark Fluid is a new liquid that generates in lakes in the End - it functions similarly to lava, dealing damage on contact. It flows backwards, causing players, items, and mobs to be sucked in, and presenting a new and confusing threat for anyone encountering it unprepared. This may serve some utility for redstone, although given it burns most items I doubt it will be of great use.

Aqualium is an armour set with the same defense as, and serving as a direct upgrade from, Chainmail. To create it, you will need each piece of Chainmail, Gold Ingots, Dried Kelp, and Prismarine Shards. It has a higher level of durability than Netherite; when the full set is equipped, you can press the RIGHT CONTROL (changeable in keybinds) key to perform a dash, which has a cooldown of 2.5 seconds.

Finally, it adds three new potions - Vitality, which boosts your maximum HP as long as it is active, Fortitude, which grants Resistance, and Impetuosity, which grants Haste. Potions of Vitality can be created by brewing a bucket of Dark Fluid into a Potion of Healing II, Potions of Fortitude can be created by brewing an Artificial Dragonbone into a Potion of Strength, and Potions of Impetuosity can be created by brewing a Popped Chorus Fruit into a Potion of Speed.

Compatibility

The Withered Cleaver supports any forge:bones/dragon for the handle; accordingly, the Artificial Dragonbone is tagged as such.

Dark Fluid should generate in modded End biomes without issue.

Roadmap

A port to Forge 1.18.2 and Fabric(and by extension Quilt) 1.19.2 is planned - 1.18.2 will be when the 1.16.5 version of the mod is "done". Fabric 1.19.2 is pending and may or may not happen.
The addition of a new alloy, Verstaltite, and corresponding equipment - Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, Hammer, and armour - may happen in the future(likely around the same time as the Fabric/Quilt port). The textures for the tools are ~50% complete, and the armour has not begun work. As of now, this is the mod.
