🗡️ Weapons & Tools Breakdown

Standard Toolset

Both Emerald and Ruby feature the standard suite of tools:

• Sword: Fast, precise sweeping slashes.
• Pickaxe: High-efficiency excavation capable of breaking Obsidian and deep ores.
• Axe: High single-hit burst damage and shield-disabling capability.
• Shovel: Rapid dirt and gravel clearing.
• Hoe: Tilling and scythe-harvesting crops with extended reach.

🗡️ Daggers (emerald_dagger, ruby_dagger)

Daggers are lightweight, high-speed melee weapons designed for agile combat and stealth gameplay:

• Attack Speed: Ultra-fast attack cooldown (1.8+ attacks/sec).
• Stealth Backstab Synergy:
  • Striking an opponent from behind (outside their line of sight) deals 2.5x critical backstab damage.
  • If the player is under the effect of Invisibility (e.g., from shadow_orchid or potions), the strike deals 3.5x damage and does not immediately break stealth.

🏹 Emerald Bow (emerald_bow)

• Crafted with Emeralds and Starchords.
• Features higher arrow velocity, tighter accuracy grouping, and increased base durability over vanilla wood bows.
• Supported by custom pull-stage animations (emerald_bow_pulling_0, _1, _2).

🛡️ Emerald Shield (emerald_shield)

• High-durability defensive shield adorned with emerald reinforcement.
• Features dedicated active blocking rendering (emerald_shield_blocking).
• Negates 100% of frontal projectile and melee physical damage with increased durability resistance against explosive impacts.
