Your Pack Version

2.6.1

Mod Name

Balkon's WeaponMod

The Mod to Add

This mod extends a player's arsenal by adding various weapons, such as warhammers, knifes, waraxes, blunderbusses, muskets, spears and other stuff

Your Reason

I think extending the early-game arsenal would be good so you have more choices having both Balkon's WeaponMod and BattleGear. Blunderbusses and Muskets also would be a nice addition for offering good long-range weapons early-game

Preliminary Investigation

I tried adding the mod to the pack and it works perfectly. I can launch the game, join the world and it doesn't seem to have any issues, crashes or extra lag

Final Checklist

[X] This mod is released under an open source license. Yes, this is required now.
[X] I have searched this issue tracker and there is nothing similar already. Posting on a closed issue saying I like this mod, please reconsider adding it will prompt us to investigate and reopen it once we confirm your report.
[X] I believe there is nothing similar in the pack already, or the existing solution isn't good enough.
[X] I understand this change request may not attract enough attention and thus not be implemented.
[X] I understand this change request may be rejected due to other community members thinking it's inappropriate.
[X] I believe this feature would make the pack better.
[ ] I'm the official maintainer or original author of this mod for minecraft 1.7.10.

@xAlexx-pixel Next time, please add a link to the mod, it was somewhat hard to find due to the amount of different ports that exist.

I'm sorry. Btw the original mod is actually from BalkondeurAlpha. The mod stayed on Curseforge but the original source code page got lost as he quit modding 10 years ago

hmm. potentially might be a shady decompile/relicense then if the mod author is not involved on that git project and has not given permission. The mod itself seems to be ARR https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/balkons-weaponmod

The mod has been forked multiple times and since he quit modding I don't think he really cares about his project anymore

It still doesn't change you don't have permission to use if he didn't gave the permission.

In fact I don't think this mod will suit this modpack there is already pretty good weaponry in modpack.

So, an abandoned project is "locked" because the mod author quit and won't answer you?

It would not be ethical in my opinion.

Oh yeah, this is a port of the mod for newer versions. I never really tested it, so I don't know if it got any issues but it should work too
