¶ Description
Fabled Roots adds 7 new weapon types, one for each of 7 races. Every type exists in all 7 material tiers, from Wooden to Netherite, and the race it belongs to gets a special bonus when using it. Anyone can use any weapon, though, so feel free to pick whatever fits your playstyle.
The remaining 3 races use vanilla weapons: the Aetherian fight with Spears, the Orebringer with Maces and the Turtlekin with Tridents.
¶ Weapon Types
Each weapon type has its own page with the stats, recipes and loot sources of all 7 tiers.

¶ Crafting
All weapons are crafted from their material and Sticks. Hatchets and Throwing Knives are crafted in sets of 4. Netherite Broadswords, Clubs, Rapiers, Scimitars and Scythes are made by upgrading the Diamond version in a Smithing Table, like vanilla netherite gear.
¶ Vanilla Weapons
Fabled Roots slightly adjusts some vanilla weapons so they fit in with the race weapons:
- Swords, Axes, Pickaxes, Shovels, Hoes and Spears keep their vanilla stats. They are marked internally so the races can recognize them. Spears also get the Aetherian tooltip style.
- Maces get 6 attack damage and 0.6 attack speed and use the Orebringer tooltip style. Two variants, the Blaze Mace and the Breeze Mace, can be crafted.
- Tridents get 9 attack damage and 1.1 attack speed, can be repaired with Prismarine Shards and use the Turtlekin tooltip style. A Trident can also be crafted:
| Prismarine Shard | Prismarine Shard | Prismarine Shard |
| Breeze Rod | ||
| Breeze Rod |
Result: Trident
- Turtle Shells use the Turtlekin tooltip style.
