Sword (And Spear) Swing

Master Your Melee with Sword (And Spear) Swing for tModLoader

Are you seeking a more dynamic and engaging melee combat experience in tModLoader? Look no further than Sword (And Spear) Swing, a comprehensive mod that transforms how you wield your blades and polearms. This isn’t just a visual facelift; it’s a fundamental overhaul of melee mechanics, putting the power of precise, physics-driven combat directly into your hands.

Unleash Your Inner Warrior

Forget simple button mashing. Sword (And Spear) Swing empowers you to control the very trajectory and momentum of your attacks. By manually maneuvering your mouse, you dictate the swing of your sword or the thrust of your spear. This intuitive system rewards skill and practice, allowing for devastating combos and pinpoint accuracy.

The core of the combat revolves around a unique stamina system. Accelerating your weapon consumes stamina, and damage is only dealt during these crucial accelerating phases. This prevents mindless spamming and encourages strategic engagement. The impact of your strikes, both in terms of damage and knockback, is directly influenced by the speed and power of your swing, adding another layer of depth to every encounter.

Weight, Balance, and Strategy

Your choice of equipment significantly impacts your combat prowess. Weapons possess a “weight” that affects stamina drain, with heavier armor further increasing your burden. To help manage this, the mod introduces the craftable “Strength Stone,” which reduces your weight class at the cost of slightly reduced running acceleration. Your overall weight class, ranging from Very Light to Extremely Heavy, directly influences your stamina recovery rate, making thoughtful gear choices paramount.

Key Features:

• Manual mouse-controlled weapon swinging and thrusting.
• Stamina system to prevent spamming and encourage strategic combat.
• Damage and knockback scaled by swing velocity and player momentum.
• Weapon weight and armor influence stamina drain and recovery.
• Craftable “Strength Stone” to manage weight burden.
• Dedicated thrusting attacks for swords, offering a different combat style.
• Polearms offer extended reach but have unique limitations.
• Extensive configuration options for fine-tuning your experience.

Adapting to Your Playstyle

Sword (And Spear) Swing offers a wealth of customization to suit your preferences. You can configure various aspects, including the visibility and position of the stamina bar, to create a truly personalized combat interface. The mod also includes robust support for modded swords and spears through its server configuration, allowing you to integrate your favorite custom weapons seamlessly into this enhanced combat system.

Whether you’re a seasoned tModLoader veteran or new to its modding scene, Sword (And Spear) Swing provides a fresh and exhilarating approach to melee combat that will keep you coming back for more.
