Feature description

Since some modders and datapackers for Tetra are moving to MIAPI, it would be cool that maybe you add some blades that the other addons had, like Katana, Saber, Rapier and others

How it improves the player experience

More blades would make the game look way more vivid than just greatblade, shortblade, machete

Tetra synergies

It would make it way more customizable and give a more accurate forging scene

Seconded. Not being able to update Tetra without losing so much combat customization, especially when using Tetratic Combat for Better Combat, is unfortunate. Polearms and more blade types would be great to see in the base mod.

A list of standard sword blades:
Katana, wakizashi, oodachi (typical japanese swords)
Nail blade rapier, wide blade rapier
Naval cutlass, polish sabre, german hanger (sabres)
cusped falchion, cleaver falchion
longsword; the typical minecraft sword is a bastard sword
Liuyedao, dadao/kandao

A list of standard polearms:
Hookbill
Halberd
Naginata
Guandao
Spear, boar spear, pike
lucerne hammer
glaive
bardiche
lochaber axe
war hammer poleaxe
quarterstaff (capped ends or not)

A list of hammers/spikes
English war hammer
morningstar
spike maul (a tool)
turns out hammers take few designs, they're very simple, a typical warhammer has a spike on one side, option to make a "warpick" when a hammer head is combined with a pickaxe head; if the option to switch modes is added, one mode can stun while the other mode pierces armor but does less flat damage. Could be very neat for PvP and boss fight mods.

These are just some weapons that are most familiar to me. I am especially interested in the polearms and piercing/anti-armor swords. I think top picks from above include the quarterstaff as a base for polearms and the lucerne hammer, glaive, and a basic war spear type weapon. For swords I think the nail blade rapier, katana, oodachi, longsword, and liuyedao, kandao are my picks.

A morning star would be cool, and just giving hammers massive stun when using them would be dope.
