Hello jwtstudio, I do have more crops planned but I'm first adding animals the world on the upcoming week.
I've just added over 1.000 items yesterday to the world pack, it does include fishes, cakes, foods, weapons, armors, belts, rings, necklances, etc...
Regarding the animations, I think the best way to you go with that, is to add the weapon on top of the character as an overlay.
