What it does

Players craft the sword from amethyst shards, which makes it a melee weapon for survival play. Its balance sits between attack speed and damage: the sword strikes faster than a diamond sword while hitting harder, with the stated damage running about 7.5 higher than a diamond sword's 7. Shards are the only material needed, so the weapon is reached early in an amethyst-rich world.

The mod is built for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it runs on client and server, so every player on a server needs it too. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with the latest build, 1.0, published for 1.20.4 on 2025-08-15. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Amethyst sword

    A sword made from amethyst shards, added as a survival weapon with its own item texture and crafting recipe.

  2. Shard-based crafting

    The recipe uses crafted amethyst shards as its material, so mining amethyst gives access to the weapon.

  3. Speed and damage balance

    Attack speed is traded against damage, so the sword lands quick hits with more force than a diamond sword.

  4. Combat stats

    The sword's damage is set above a diamond sword's 7, which makes it a stronger choice in close fights.
