About this Mod
Evolving Sword Mod

Transform your humble wooden sword into a legendary weapon that grows stronger with every battle you fight.
Description
Tired of replacing your weapons every time you find better materials? The Evolving Sword mod revolutionizes combat progression by introducing a single weapon that evolves alongside your adventures. Instead of crafting multiple swords, you'll nurture one blade from its humble wooden origins to an ultimate Ender-tier legendary weapon.
The Evolution Journey
Your adventure begins deep underground, mining the mysterious Evolving Stone Ore - a rare mineral that pulses with transformative energy. Craft your first Evolving Sword and watch as it hungers for experience, growing more powerful with every mob you defeat.
Seven Evolution Tiers Await:
- Wood → Stone → Iron → Gold → Diamond → Netherite → Ender
Each evolution isn't just a stat boost - it's a complete transformation that unlocks new abilities:

FAQ
Q: How is this different from just crafting better swords?
A: Instead of replacing weapons, you develop an emotional connection with one blade that grows with you. Each evolution unlocks unique abilities impossible with vanilla weapons.
Q: Will this make the game too easy?
A: The mod is balanced around progression - early tiers provide modest bonuses, while game-changing abilities require significant time investment to unlock.
Q: Can I use this on my server?
A: Absolutely! The mod works flawlessly on multiplayer servers and includes extensive config options for server balance.
Q: How do I repair my evolving sword?
A: Use Evolving Stone in an anvil to repair any tier of evolving sword. This makes Evolving Stone valuable throughout your entire progression, not just for initial crafting.
Q: Do I lose my enchantments and custom name when evolving?
A: No! Your sword keeps all enchantments and custom names through every evolution. The blade remembers its entire history as it grows stronger.
