Spartan Weaponry Weapon Types Explained
Spartan Weaponry's melee arsenal is organized into classes, each with its own feel. This guide groups the weapon types so you can pick the right tool.
Light and fast
- Dagger and Parrying Dagger — quick, low-reach blades; the parrying dagger is suited to defensive play.
- Saber and Rapier — fast one-handed swords.
Balanced swords
- Longsword, Katana and Greatsword — mid-to-heavy blades trading speed for damage and reach.
Heavy two-handers
- Battle Hammer, Warhammer, Battleaxe and Flanged Mace — slow, powerful weapons for maximum impact.
Polearms with reach
- Spear, Pike, Halberd, Glaive, Lance and Quarterstaff — long weapons that let you strike from further away, with the Scythe offering sweeping attacks.
Choosing a weapon
Every one of these comes in each material tier, so your choice is about playstyle first and material second. Pick a light blade for mobility, a two-hander for burst damage, or a polearm to keep enemies at a distance — then craft it in the best material you have.
476 items, 446 crafting recipes
The weapon list is the mod. With 476 items against 10 blocks, and 446 of the recipes being ordinary crafting, nearly everything here is a weapon variant made at a bench — each type repeated across the vanilla material tiers.
That repetition is why the number is so large. Learning one weapon's recipe shape teaches you the whole tier ladder for that type.
Upgrading and recycling
24 smithing transform recipes cover the netherite upgrades. In the other direction, Tag Smelting and Tag Blasting carry 14 recipes each for melting metal weapons back into material.
Between them, moving up a tier and abandoning a choice both have defined costs, so experimenting with an unfamiliar weapon type is cheap.
The ranged branch
Projectile weapons pull in three more systems: Fletching (9 recipes), Tipped Projectile (9) and Quiver Upgrade Smithing (6).
Version note
1.20.1 only (3.2.1). There is no 1.21.1 build in this line.
Only ten blocks in the whole mod
For 476 items, Spartan Weaponry registers just 10 blocks and generates no worldgen structures. There is nothing to find and almost nothing to place — every weapon type below is reached from a crafting table and a material you already mine.
