WeaponMaster
WeaponMaster is a Minecraft server plugin that adds weapons, armor, tools, and gameplay mechanics to the game.
It runs on any Spigot (or Paper and its forks, which are required for some additional features) server running Minecraft 1.21+.
Features
- As of v1.12.0, 77 unique weapons, armor, and tools.
- The WeaponMaster Dragon, an upgraded dragon fight with special loot and rewards.
- The Wither Challenge, where you have to kill the wither without armor to get special loot.
- And some overpowered admin commands for fun.
- Performant, taking less than 0.2% of your tick (that's 0.1 ms) in most cases.

[1.13.0] WeaponMaster 1.13.0
by greatericontop on Oct 15, 2026
Download
Small update to get some quick fixes and new features in:

[1.12.0] WeaponMaster 1.12.0
by greatericontop on Oct 15, 2026
Download
- NEW TOOL: **Agricultural Abomination** (legendary) - superpowered hoe that replaces harvested crops
- NEW MINOR ITEM: **Master Seal** - it's an Expert Seal, but you can use it a second time, currently no recipe
- End Sword changed to teleport in front of the wall when blocks are in the way instead of refusing to teleport entirely
- Added
/weaponmaster vanillastackstacking command, works better for most people in 1.21 - Added configuration options to nearly every weapon. You can now customize almost every number used in this plugin!
- Added recipe for Pilot's Sword
- Nerfed Pilot's Sword to 1/9 of original damage. Now that it has a (fairly inexpensive) recipe, it's intended to be a gimmicky item and not be super overpowered. Note that balancing changes from now on are just suggestions, so feel free to use your own settings! Maybe drop a feature request if you find settings that work better :)
- Added docs that were missing for old items/recipes
