Four Elemental Swords
This mod adds four elemental swords and a special sword with different power and effects
About this Mod
This mod adds four elemental swords, each with its own damage, speed and powers: Fire Sword, Water Sword, Air Sword and Earth Sword.
Combine all four to craft a special one: the Sword of the Gods
Available for Forge, NeoForge and Fabric.
How it works
- Right click to activate the powers of the sword on yourself.
- Hit an enemy to apply the element's effect to it.
- Hold Shift over a sword to see what it does.
- Swords can be enchanted, and repaired on an anvil with another sword of the same type or with the material used to craft them.
- Recipes unlock in the recipe book as soon as you pick up the element's material.
New in 26.1.2 (v2.10.0)
- On-hit effects for every sword: Fire sets enemies on fire, Air gives Levitation, Earth gives Slowness, Water gives Weakness.
- Cooldown and durability cost for the right-click ability, both optional.
- One sword, two recipes: diamond and netherite recipes now craft the same sword. Old netherite swords in existing worlds are converted automatically.
- Disabled swords only lose their recipe: no more missing items or errors.
- Recipe book support.
- Fixed: the attack speed option in the config was ignored.
- Fixed: swords lost 2 durability per hit instead of 1.
