About this Mod
FJmode · Sword Flight & Myriad Swords Return 🗡️
「Take the sword as wings, ride the wind; With a single thought, myriad swords return to their master」
A Fabric enchantment expansion mod built for Minecraft 1.21.11, transforming swords from mere melee tools into your wings—your legions of thousands.
✨ Core Gameplay
🌪️ Sword Flight
Ride the sword with the wind, roaming freely between heaven and earth
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Flight Control | Hold an enchanted sword to enter custom flight, with speed comparable to vanilla elytra gliding |
| Visual Presentation | Player stands on the sword, held sword is hidden; a matching sword model is rendered beneath the feet in real-time, following the player's pitch |
| Dash Boost | Press Ctrl during flight to trigger sustained acceleration (consumes extra saturation) |
| Durability Balance | Flight continuously consumes the sword's durability—plan long journeys carefully |
⚠️ Melee attacks against entities are disabled during flight; focus on the path of the sky
⚔️ Myriad Swords Return
One sword strikes, myriad swords follow; a thought moves, enemies all fall
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Charged Launch | Right-click and hold to charge like a trident, release to launch the main hand sword as a flying sword |
| Swarm Orbiting | Multiplie flying swords orbit in three-dimensional space above the player, forming a spectacular sword formation |
| Smart Target Lock | Automatically locks onto and tracks targets upon melee or ranged hit |
| Coordinated Pursuit | Single sword calculates a guaranteed hit trajectory; the swarm strikes simultaneously, dealing damage equal to total attack power ÷ 3 |
| Cyclic Combat | After hitting, flying swords bounce back into formation, immediately ready to lock onto new targets for sustained output |
| Entity Retention | After 60 seconds or when the player goes offline, flying swords materialize and stick into the ground, awaiting retrieval |
Obtained from the enchanting table, max level I, medium-low rarity weight
🎨 Visual Highlights
- Sword Flight: Sword model rotates in real-time following the player's camera angle, with natural pitch movement
- Myriad Swords Return: Client-side smooth interpolation combined with velocity vector-based orientation ensures fluid, jitter-free swarm trajectories; each flying sword has a 45° compensation to ensure the tip points forward
📝 Notes
- Uses Mojang Official Mappings; some class names in Fabric tutorials may differ (e.g.,
ServerPlayerinstead ofServerPlayerEntity) - Virtual flying swords for Myriad Swords Return are server-side memory objects, not vanilla entities; hit detection and damage calculation are purely server-side
