Dune : Maker’s Crysknife & More

This mod adds the sacred Fremen weapon, the crysknife, and more from Frank Herbert’s novel Dune. It’s a must have mod for anyone who wants a Dune-themed world, or even just a new weapon with deadly statistics. As of now, this mod does not require any dependencies and it is very light weight. You can also craft the Fedaykin Crysknife which has 6.25 attack damage and 2.5 attack speed. If you get 10 hits with a normal crysknife, or 5 consecutive crits with the Fedaykin variant, you get the Blood of the Martyrs effect, which stacks 4 seconds for each kill you get while you have the effect. The effect itself doubles your attack damage and increases your movement speed.

This weapon can be used as a replacement for your sword. It has a base attack damage of 5.5 and a base attack speed of 3.5, making it a weapon optimized for fast critical hits.

Craft the Spice Refinery, power it with redstone, and obtain melange by mining Spice Drum Sand in the Tanzerouft biome. Don’t know if you should it consume it though…

If you want to spice up your diet (pun intended), craft Spice Rabbit Stew (not in the picture woops) for a temporary jump boost and regeneration effect.

It is found only in desert pyramids; each chest has a 3.125% chance of having the crysknife (other methods of obtaining will be added in the future) or, if you download the Desert Behemoths : Sandworms mod, you can craft the crysknife using a sandworm tooth and a stick.

Long Live the Fighters!
