Keeg's Weapons
Vanilla Minecraft combat has a rhythm players know by heart: sword, axe, shield, repeat. Keeg's Weapons throws a wrench into that routine by adding four hand-crafted weapon types that feel like they shipped with the game, plus a deep enchantment system and a set of legendary arms with abilities straight out of an action RPG. If you have ever wanted a katana that rewards an empty offhand or a scythe that stores souls, this add-on was built for you.
What Keeg's Weapons Adds
The core of the add-on is four vanilla-style weapons, each with its own damage profile, cooldown, and role in a fight. They are not reskins of existing gear; each one changes how you approach a duel.
- Scythe: A hybrid between a sword and an axe, blending reach with heavy hits.
- Dagger: Deals less damage than a sword but recovers with a shorter cooldown, ideal for quick combos.
- Katana: Matches sword damage with a faster cooldown as long as your offhand stays empty.
- Greatsword: Hits close to axe damage with a shorter cooldown, again rewarding an empty offhand.
The katana and greatsword also feature custom two-handed player models, so the visual weight matches the feel of swinging them.
Eleven New Enchantments
Keeg's Weapons for Minecraft expands the enchanting table with eleven enchantments, four of which are exclusive to their matching weapon type. The rest apply broadly to tools, weapons, and boots.
Weapon-Specific Enchantments
- Thundering (Greatswords): A 1 in 20 chance to strike lightning on hit, improving to 1 in 10 at level two.
- Dash (Katanas): Press a configurable keybind, right-click by default, to dash forward.
- Leech (Scythes): Attacking heals you based on the damage dealt, calculated after armor.
- Poison Tipped (Daggers): Applies poison to whatever you hit.
General Enchantments
- Pathfinder (Boots): Increases speed while walking on path blocks.
- Expert (All tools and weapons): Grants more experience from mining and smelting, though not from villager trading, for balance.
- Illager Bane (All weapons): Deals bonus damage to illagers.
- Double Jump (Boots): Unlocks a second jump in midair.
- Rage (Greatswords, Katanas, Daggers): Adds 0.1 attack speed per level when you drop below half health.
- Gravity (Greatswords, Scythes): Pulls nearby entities toward you.
- Frostfall (Swords, Greatswords): Inflicts freezing damage on hit.
Legendary Weapons and Their Abilities
Beyond the standard tier, four legendary weapons bring custom models, particles, and active abilities. None of them use durability, so once you craft one it stays with you.
- Reaper's Scythe: Stores up to ten souls and releases them on right-click as a sonic-boom style attack, with damage scaling to the souls held. Custom sweep and kill particles included. Accepts only Leech or Gravity.
- Grand Assassin's Dagger: Right-click for a speed boost and saturation, plus bonus damage on backstabs. Accepts only Fire Aspect.
- Shogun's Katana: A double dash on right-click with an on-weapon cooldown bar, and a 30 percent chance to block incoming arrows. Accepts only Knockback.
- Kingly Greatsword: Right-click to unleash a shockwave that damages and knocks back enemies, with +1 base damage. Accepts only Thundering or Fire Aspect.
Weapon Forges and Crafting
Each weapon type has its own forge, found in one of four rare structures scattered across the world. Power a forge with redstone to open a 7x7 crafting grid, then craft your gear. Once a recipe is used, it locks server-wide, though commands can undo it and a gamerule can disable the lock entirely. The forges also unlock recipes like the Anti-air Beacon, which damages phantoms and elytra-flying players when powered.
Getting set up is straightforward, and the foxygame.net launcher makes it even easier: its add-on catalog lists Keeg's Weapons by name, so you can install it in one click and let the launcher handle version compatibility and updates automatically. For manual setups, the add-on supports modern Minecraft releases on both Fabric and NeoForge, so check the version list before you download Keeg's Weapons. If you are wondering how to install it by hand, drop the file into your mods folder, launch the matching loader profile, and the new weapons will appear in your creative inventory and forge structures.
Final Thoughts
Keeg's Weapons succeeds because it respects vanilla balance while still feeling fresh. The four base weapons slot naturally into survival combat, the enchantments reward smart offhand management, and the legendary tier gives long-term goals worth chasing. Whether you are a builder who wants a flashier sword or a PvP player hunting for an edge, this add-on earns its place in your load order.
