Weapon Leveling Compatibility Datapack
You finally craft that gorgeous greatsword from your favorite weapon mod, take it into battle, and nothing happens. No XP bar, no levels, no progression. The Weapon Leveling Compatibility Datapack exists to fix exactly that frustration. It bridges the gap between Lukas's Weapon Leveling and the modded gear you actually want to use, so your custom swords, bows, and armor sets gain levels just like vanilla equipment.
What the Datapack Actually Does
At its core, this add-on fills in the missing item tags that Weapon Leveling needs to recognize modded gear. Without those tags, the leveling mod simply ignores anything it does not recognize. With them, dozens of weapons and armor pieces suddenly behave as if they shipped with the mod.
- Swords, axes, bows, crossbows, and tridents from supported mods all gain experience as you fight.
- Full armor sets from modded sources level up alongside your weapons.
- Pre-leveled weapons now appear in chest loot across the world.
The loot integration is a nice touch. Dungeons, strongholds, bastions, ancient cities, end cities, and shipwrecks can now contain weapons that already carry levels. Every weapon drops at Level 2 at minimum, with a 35 percent chance of Level 6, a 12 percent chance of Level 12, and a 3 percent chance of a Level 25 weapon. That gives exploration real reward beyond the usual enchanted gear.
Supported Mods and Loaders
Weapons and Tools
The compatibility list covers Weapons Expanded, Epic Knights, Aquaculture, EverythingCopper, All The Modium, Ice and Fire, and vanilla Minecraft itself. Whether you prefer fishing rods that double as weapons or dragonbone blades, there is a good chance your gear is covered.
Armor Sets
On the armor side, the datapack supports Armor of the Ages, Ad Astra, Timber Tales, PneumaticCraft, Immersive Engineering, Deeper Darker, Eternal Starlight, Extended Industrialization, Iron's Spellbooks, Just Dire Things, Oddities, Ars Nouveau, Ars Elemental, Ars Elemancy, and Ars Technica. That is a broad spread, from tech mods to magic mods, so most modpacks will see immediate results.
Version and Loader Notes
Datapacks work across loaders, which means this add-on functions on Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt setups as long as Lukas's Weapon Leveling is present. It is built for modern Minecraft releases, including the 1.20.x and 1.21.x branches, and it plays perfectly with All The Mods 10. Only the mods you have installed matter; everything else is ignored, so you never need to remove entries manually.
If you want a smoother way to manage add-ons like this, the foxygame.net launcher offers a curated catalog where you can install the Weapon Leveling Compatibility Datapack in a single click without touching your datapacks folder. The launcher also handles auto-updates, so when the datapack adds support for new mods, your setup stays current without any manual work.
How to Install
Getting started takes only a few minutes. First, confirm that Lukas's Weapon Leveling is installed and working. Then follow these steps:
- Download the Weapon Leveling Compatibility Datapack zip file.
- Drop the zip into your world's datapacks folder. For global use across all worlds, install a datapack loader mod instead.
- Run the /reload command or restart your world.
- Head out and start leveling your modded weapons.
If you are wondering how to install it on a server, the process is identical. Place the zip in the world folder's datapacks directory and reload. Because the datapack only activates tags for mods that are actually present, it is safe to keep installed even if you later remove a mod from your pack.
Why It Belongs in Your Modpack
Progression systems lose their charm when half your gear is excluded from them. This datapack restores that consistency, letting you build around modded weapons without sacrificing the leveling loop you enjoy. The loot table changes add another layer, turning ordinary dungeon runs into genuine treasure hunts.
The creator has stated that updates will keep coming, and requests for additional mod support are welcome. That means the compatibility list should only grow over time. For anyone running a modded world with Weapon Leveling installed, downloading the Weapon Leveling Compatibility Datapack is one of the easiest quality-of-life upgrades you can make. Grab it, reload your world, and go level some weapons.
