Features
(Your vanilla experience will be further enhanced thanks to these features)
Craft powerful weapons using a progression system starting with the Dark Wooden Sword and progress all the way to the Dark Netherite Sword for a true end game weapon experience. This fills the gap between standard vanilla stats and mid-tier stats and gives users a progression to work towards and achieve stronger weapons along the way. Now includes a special End Game Netherite Armor set and tools! Start by crafting the Dark Core to begin your progression.
Better Combat & REI are recommended for an even better playing experience. Use All The Trims to enable trims for the armor.

DarkBlades server crashes on startup – what to do?

DarkBlades officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.1, 1.20.4. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with DarkBlades – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DarkBlades consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
