porting to 1.21.10 has been a pain but this part was such a relief, it's even data-generatable without too much hassle. thank you mojang and thank you fabric datagen 🙏🙏

1.21.4's standout feature for me is the new conditional item model stuff. I'm actually able to remove ALL of my client code from Basic Weapons, including mixins!

data driven conditional item models are a game changer

I still can't quite believe I got data driven weapons working - here's the copper materialpack running on my long-term server 😍

Since I'd just done Plushables, I decided to make Basic Weapons multiloader on 1.21.1 too!

A particularly challenging part of porting the mod was adapting mixins to mojmap and adjusting weird unexpected behaviour.

Basic Weapons received tag translations this summer to fit the new 1.21 guidelines (fabricmc.net/2024/05/31/1...)

This coincided with enchantments becoming data-driven, and I went a bit overzealous in my approach. For the 1.21.3 update I'm fixing my mistakes.
