Sword Variations Mod

Creating Weapon Variations

The process of creating diverse weapons begins with crafting a casting mold. To make it, you'll need: 1 smooth stone, 4 units of clay, and 4 iron nuggets.

After obtaining the casting mold, place it in a stonecutter to carve out your desired weapon type. Each weapon has unique characteristics - strengths and weaknesses that allow you to choose an option that suits your playstyle. Additionally, all weapon types can receive special enchantments.

Weapon Varieties

Katana

The katana offers moderate increases in attack speed and damage, but has reduced durability. This is an excellent choice for those who want to improve the standard sword without radical changes.

Special Enchantment: Air Strike - enhances critical hits while in midair.

Rapier

The rapier significantly increases attack speed but deals less damage. Perfect for players who find the regular sword too slow.

Special Enchantment: Lunge - provides a brief speed boost when right-clicking.

Broadsword

The broadsword increases damage and durability but reduces attack speed. This option represents a middle ground between the sword and axe - if the axe seems too slow but you want to deal more damage.

Special Enchantment: Guarding - provides resistance when blocking with a shield while holding the broadsword.

Ornate Sword

A designer sword that not only improves the weapon's appearance but also increases luck when enchanting. The ornate sword has higher chances of getting better enchantments, which is especially valuable for those who frequently enchant weapons.

Special Enchantment: Experience Looting - mobs drop experience orbs when hit.

Dagger

The dagger drastically increases attack speed but deals significantly less damage. If you miss the days when you could simply spam attacks - this option is for you!

Special Enchantment: Dashing - provides a speed boost while sprinting.

Battle Axe

The battle axe is even slower than a regular axe but deals massive damage and applies a slowness effect to you. Damage increases proportionally to the axe level.

Special Enchantment: Lightweight - removes the slowness effect when held.

Scythe

The scythe is slightly slower than an axe but not as slow as the battle axe. Its characteristics fall between the axe and battle axe, while retaining the sword's sweeping attack.

Special Enchantment: Wither Aspect - applies the wither effect to hit mobs.

Additional Features

All enchantments and weapon names are preserved during upgrades, similar to upgrading from diamond to netherite tools. You can also upgrade diamond weapons to netherite in the smithing table.
