**Universal repairs**:

Ever wanted an Item that can repair anyhting? Well now you have one! Using a carving tool with a glass bottle on the off hand in a tree log will give you resin, then combine the resin with sugar to make gum. Gum can be used to repair any item in the off hand as long as it has more then 50% durability! It is slow tho...

**Weapons:**

The mod adds new swords and axes, as well as a new weapon type similar to tridents; the spear. Axes work in the exact same way they do in vanilla minecraft, they can be used both as tools and as weapons. Spears can be thrown, they will drop to the ground as items once they land and they'll deal a lot of damage. Swords also work in the same way as vanilla minecraft swords. However there is a very important diference when it comes to Legendary weapons! These have unique habilities and cannot be crafted with regular materials!

**Special weapons:**

The following is a list of special weapons, what they do and how to obtain them.

*Surtur Sword -* This unbreakable flaming sword will set on fire anything you hit with it, also, it is probably the first legendary weapon you'll ever get. To find one you must go to Muspellheim (The Nether) and kill one of Surtur's Children, I recomend you use a ranged weapon to do the deed since they spawn magma cubes when hurt.

*Gríðarvölr* - This wooden staff once was gifted to Phorr, god of thunder. It works as a combination of a diamond pickaxe and sword, to get it you just have to craft it from three Jotun Iron and four Sticks.

*Mjölnir* - This short hammer is very powerful dealing 25 points of damage in total! However it is very heavy so you'll have the slowness effect while carrying it in your hand. To get it you must simply summon Phorr and kill him, the fight is very hard and not for those weak of heart. To summon Phorr use a blinded eye while the world is thundering.

*Cross* - The cross is the only legendary weapon I do not recomend you using, since it will ignite your viking soul on fire if you carry it and does not do a lot of damage. This is the weapon the rare christian enemy carries and uses to set you on fire, it will dropp some times from this enemy.

*Summarbrandr* - This sword is an improved version of the Surtur Sword, dealing more damage and keeping the unbreackability and fire aspect of the previous one. To get this word you must collect eight Froeyja's tears and cover the Surtur Sword with them in a crafting table.

*Magic Shears* - Although it is not a weapon it is still a legendary tool, these are used like regular shears but they can cut imposible things from entities around the world. Here is a list of stuff they can cut; from cats the sound they make, from villagers their hair, from polar bears their fear, from any type of fish their breath, from any type of birds their spit, and from goats or silverfish roots of mountains. To craft the Magic shears you'll have to replicate the recipe of normal shears but using Jotun Iron on the bottom-left corner, then add another two Froeyja's tears in the same way on the top-tight corner of the crafting table.

*Lævateinn* - This is Loki's staff and the most powerful weapon in the game, unfortunally you'll have to wait for the endgame to get it. It sets any entity's health to 0 with one hit. To get it you have to use a golden feather on an ender chest in a smithing table, in norse mythology Lævateinn was hiden from Loki and stored in a magical chest that could only be opened with the feathers of a golden rooster. To summon the golden rooster you must use an Iðunn  Apple with a chicken, getting this craftable enchanted apple is very hards since the recipe requires a golden apple, a totem of undying, four gold blocks and three gold ingots.

*Thyrfing* - This is the most cursed legendary weapon there is in the game, whenever you use it a random entity nearby will die instantly, it could be a boss, your beloved pet, your friend or that very useful villager that sells you mending books.... As long as it is rendering it might die if you take out this weapon. To get it you must use the Smithing table to add the death rune to a Steel sword.

*Dainsleif -* This cursed sword will do anything in it's power to stay in your hand until you kill something, when selected it gets the curse enchantment "Blade Thirst" when used to kill something the curse will change to "Blade Rest" then the player can select something else without the sword forcing itself into his hand, however the sword will curse itself again if selected. To make it combine the iron sword with a Death rune in the Smithing table, why would you make it is unclear to me since it is just an Iron sword with diamond durability and a dangerous curse.

*Hofuð* - The sword of Heimdall, also called "the sword of heads" has a 10% chance of instantly kill and decapitate the following mobs; zombie, skeleton, wither skeleton, wither, creeper and players. When decapitated the mobs won't only die but have a 100% chance of dropping their heads. To make it you must combine the iron sword with an Asgardian soul in a Smithing Table.

*Angervadil* - This noble sword will burn your enemies dealing 7 total points of damage every time it hits them, however it might refuse to finish the job if it senses your actions are unjust! To get it you must use the Smithing table to add the defense rune to a Steel sword.

*Forseti's Axe* - This golden axe of leyend works similarly to a regular axe with the special hability to turn grass blocks into water source blocks when right clicking on them. To craft it you must use a similar recipe to the one of the golden axe but replacing the sticks for blaze rods and the corner ingot for a gold block.

*Skofnung* - Beware of the player carrying this weapon for the wounds he inflict will never heal! Being attacked by this sword will give any entity the Skofnung Wounds potion effect wich works similar to poison except it does not end, once the effect runs out it starts again, the only way to stop it is with the Skofnung Stone wich is crafted using the sword and a stone block on a smithing table. To craft the sword use a Fire rune with a Steel sword in a Smithing table.

*Gram* - The luckiest of warriors might find the Gram sword stuck on a Oak tree in one of their walks, Odin himself once held this sword against his enemies! To retrieve it from the log you must right click it with an empty hand and its yours! This sword is stronger than diamond and very hard to find...

*Gungnir* - This spear is similar to the others except it does not leave your inventory when thrown, it just throws a copy of itself! To craft it you must recreate the recipe for the bronze staff replacing the sticks for two Gríðarvölr staffs, then put a defense rune on the top center slot and a death rune on the right center slot, then a Valkyrkja feather on the left center slot and another in the bottom center, leaving the top left and bottom right slots empty in the crafting grid.

*Viking grenades* - If only Kratos knew these exsisted in real life! Viking grenades are an incineary explosive device that a player can launch at a structure to cause minor damage and lot's of fire! To make them you can either craft one with urine, touchwood mushrooms and blaze powder or brew one adding touchwood mushrooms to urine. The urine can be colected at any time by the player by just sneaking and right clicking with a glass bottle on your hand, the touchwood mushroom only spawns in ash tree forest biomes or in Svartalfaheim, it can later be farmed by placing it on top of ash tree logs and waiting for it to grow.

*Silver Weapons* - Although they are not legendary, these weapons do have a specially hard poisonous effect on the undead!

*Völva* - This is a magic wand wich recipe is unlocked once you reach Asgard, it will shoot diferent spells depending on wich rune you have in your off-hand.

*Svalin* - The shield of the goddess Sól, made to protect her from the sun as she carries it through the skies, not only it is an unbreakable shield but it will also remove any fire that is burning you when used. To make it combine the Yellow Shield with the Sun Rune in a Smithing Table.

**Arrows**:

*Black arrow* - It is just like a regular arrow but made from a black feather instead of a regular one.

*Mistletoe arrow* - Combine a piece of mistletoe, a string and a regular arrow to create this mythological amo, no special effects tho.

*Gusir arrows* - There are a black and white variant, gusir arrows are created when crafting a Freyja's tear surrounded by 8 arrows. They contain the arrows in a single item allowing you to carry eight times more arrows with you, to use them just craft the gusir arrow alone to separate it into the original arrows.

**Rings**:

They are complementary items made from 4 nuggets of the same material forming a circle in a crafting table, when on the off-hand they will give the player effects if he has either a sword, an axe or a pickaxe in the main hand. The sword and axe will recieve strength, the pickaxe will recieve haste.

In order for the player to get the effect the material of the ring must match the material of the tool/weapon in the main hand, for example; a golden ring will only give strength if the main hand has a golden sword or axe, in the same way a silver ring will only give haste if the player is using a silver pickaxe.

The only exception to both of this rules is the Steel ring wich is crafted with 4 iron nuggets and 4 bonemeal, it gives the effect when using either steel weapons/tools or netherite weapons/tools.

Rings can also be smelted in a furnace for a single ingot of the material they are made of.

*Draupnir* - This ring can be replicated into 8 of itself by crafting it, it can also be found as ring ore in Vanaheim or Alfheim, when melted it gives golden nuggets therefor it is an infinite source of gold.

*Andvarinaut* - The ring of the dragon Fafnir, it is very similar to the Draupnir ring but at the same time very cursed, when melted or crafted it will poison you, when in your inventory you'll suffer weakness, unluck and bad omen constantly. To get this ring you must kill the ender dragon (Renamed Fafnir in this mod) then break the egg by combining it with an iron pickaxe in the Smithing Table.

**Armor**:

This mod adds a set of armor for every metal in it as well as a set of copper armor. It also adds a crafting recipe for the chainmail armor, a lot of chainmail variants of other armours and special effects depending on what armor you use.

**Animal hide armor**:

*Berserker Armor* - This armor is crafted with polar bear leather, it only has three pieces; hood, tunic and shoes, all based on berserker cothing from viking culture. Each piece has the same durability and defense as leather armor but when all of them are on a player he will have the Wild spirits effect wich grants insane regeneration as well as a poison effect to whatever the player is attacking.

*Ulfheðnar Armor* - Like the Berserker armor it is both based on real viking culture as well as it shares the stats of leader, but unlike it's bear counterpart this armor is made from wolf leather and each individual piece grants a diferent effect on it's own; Hood gives night vision, Tunic gives Wild Spirits, Belt nothing, Boots gives jump boost and speed. Wolf leather can only be obtained by the fierceful Fenrir's kin wolfs.

**Special Armor pieces:**

Some armor pieces give special effects when you wear them, here is a list of the pieces and the effects;

*Any Silver piece* - Gives the undead entities you target weakness.

*Any Copper piece (not copper chainmail)* - When struck by lightning gives the player speed for 6 seconds.

*Berk Coat* - This armor piece made from brown wool will make you inmune to freezing from powdered snow.

*Berk Skirt* - This armor piece will instantly get enchanted with Thorns X when equiped.

**How to use poison on weapons:**

In your travels you might come across a poisonous plant known as Kaempebjorneklo, a tall flower like plant with a red stem and green leafs. This plant is poisonous, do not eat it! However you could extract some poison from it if you break it with a bottle in your offhand or brewing it into water bottles... Poisons such as Kaempebjorneklo's sap can be infused into weapons simply by having them in the offhand while attacking, each time you hit an enemy and a bottled poison is in your offhand the enemy will start to suffer the effects of the poison. Of couse some poisons are stronger than others, but that's for you to discover!
