Dagger Enchantments

🗡️ Dagger Enchantments

Dagger Enchantments introduces a new combat progression built around lightweight daggers and exclusive enchantments.

The mod focuses on fast melee combat, stealth mechanics, and risk-reward gameplay. Daggers are quick weapons with lower base damage, but their true power is unlocked through rare enchantment books discovered during exploration.

Instead of brute force, this mod rewards mobility, timing, and smart positioning.

🔪 Daggers

The mod adds several lightweight daggers:

Stone Dagger

Iron Dagger

Gold Dagger

Ethereal Slash – powerful sweeping attack

These abilities create dynamic, skill-based combat moments.

📉 No excessive power creep

🎮 Balanced for both singleplayer and multiplayer
