Weapon Types

The Lord of the Rings Mod: Bringing Middle-earth to Minecraft adds many new types of weapon to the game. These are many and varied, ranging from daggers to crossbows

Crossbows
Crossbows are almost exactly like bows except that they deal more damage and have greater knockback, while their draw speed is significantly slower. An unenchanted bow can kill an orc in 3 hits. Uruks will often be seen wielding a crossbow.

Daggers
Daggers are a new type of weapon, similar to a sword but dealing one less half-heart of damage. A dagger can be crafted on the appropriate crafting table using one ingot and one stick. There are many types of dagger: the Bronze, Iron, Mithril, Elven, Orc, Dwarven, and Gondorian tool sets, among others, include daggers.

Additionally, some tool sets such as the Orcs' include another variant of dagger: a poisoned dagger, which deals a poison effect to the victim (duration varies, but tends to last longer on higher difficulties). These can be crafted using a normal dagger and a bottle of poison, obtained from certain types of spiders and scorpions.

Spears
Spears are weapons that can damage enemies from a distance. There are many different kinds of spears, such as the Galadhrim, Orc, Mithril, and Bronze spears. The Galadhrim spear can only be crafted on the Galadhrim Crafting Table, and the Orc Spear can only be crafted on the Morgul Crafting Table. The strength that the spear is thrown against an enemy depends on the pullback time of the spear. Certain mobs can spawn with spears, such as Gondor Soldiers, Orcs, or Galadhrim Warriors.
