Overview

Expanded Weaponry is a mod that enhances Minecraft combat in many ways. Its main focus is on providing more variety and choice in equipment.

I highly advise combining this mod with Better Combat(if avaible for the selected version) as it offers cool animations that enhance gameplay and enable you to dual-wield weapons.
