The Epic Knights Mod: A Historically Accurate Armour, Weapons and Surcoats Addon 1.0.35
The Epic Knights Mod is a historically accurate medieval armour and weapons mod. The addon currently has 22+ different armour sets and 30+ different weapon types in all vanilla resources plus a new material - Steel!
The mod is heavily based around Javaโs Epic Knights Mod and in light of this, we have made it compatible with 3D combat by pixelleddoki to provide incredible attack animations and abilities. It is highly recommended you use 3D combat with the mod also to further advance the combat. Most weapons in the addon have the ability to block attacks! When used correctly, this addon brings a unique experience to Minecraft.
Permission
From Magistu, the mod developer for the Java Mod.
HOW TO PLAY
In Epic Knights the main resources are leather, wool and iron, these are essential if you want to progress quickly within the addon.
Let's start with leather, leather can be used to make leather strips which are then used to make hilts and poles. Also, in the addon the boots slot is reserved for surcoats and capes.
These can then be combined with gold, diamond, iron, steel, wood and stone to make weapons! Netherite like in vanilla is crafted through the smithing table.
Next is wool, wool can be used to craft woollen cloth which is used to craft surcoats, capes and the Gambeson armour set.
Lastly, we have iron. Iron is, as usual in Minecraft, an essential resource. Iron can be smelted to obtain the best resource in the addon - Steel. Steel in terms of weaponary is worse than diamond, but is better than iron, having higher durability but the same attack damage.
However, Steel is used to craft every armour in the addon, so procuring it is a must if you wish to advance quickly.
Lacquered Iron is a new material used to make Samurai Armour and is made up of iron ingots and nuggets.

You can add 2 Crests to your surcoats or shields.
