Hello, I think the battle axe may have been a nice option in the older versions, but now after the vanilla axe got reworked and buffed in damage, the battle axe unfortunately hasn't. Despite being a combat-oriented variant of the regular axe, it still falls behind in every aspect because of the outdated attack speed, lower damage and the higher crafting cost, making the +1 armor shred not even worth it. That's why I think you could consider making it stronger in the future to make it feel like it belongs among the other weapons as a viable choice. Be it stats simmilar to the warhammer or other changes you'd like to make, it's up to you of course. Thank you for making this mod anyway and continuing to work on it, it's all still fun after the years.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. This is indeed something I have in mind: Making the damage configurable.
I know that is definetly possible in older MC versions. However, newer versions require the attributes of items to be set quite early, so I am not too sure whether it is possible there.
But I will try my best anyway!
This way, the user can balance everything on its own :)

Thanks for the reply, a config like this would help a ton indeed! Hope you can make it work one day ;)
