Cloud Swords
Cloud Swords is a Fabric magic mod for 1.20.1 where swords cast spells modeled on cloud computing services, from Lambda summons to S3 storage.
What it does
Each sword stands for one cloud service and carries its own ability. A Lambda sword summons one to three temporary allies that vanish after their work, an S3 sword absorbs dropped items into a virtual bucket that keeps them, and an EC2 sword raises its damage as consecutive hits stack up to 50 percent. Other swords reveal mobs within 30 blocks, block their special abilities for eight seconds, or deal rising damage on the first five hits, with a 20 percent critical chance on some. Nine cloud spellbooks and 28 spells are added in total, and three tiers of tomes (T1, T2 and T3) work with the Spell Engine integration.
The armor progression is patterned on cloud certification levels, and the content is themed around cloud roles such as DevOps Engineer and Data Engineer. Machines with energy networks, cast cloud operations and a villager economy are part of the wider tech side. Fabric API is required, and the optional Accessories, EMI, Patchouli, Runes, Spell Engine and Trinkets can be added for their features. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The mod is released under the MIT License, is not open source, and has a single Fabric file for 1.20.1, version 0.3.7.1, published on 2026-05-18.

Temporary summons
Lambda swords call one to three short-lived allies, and the greatsword version calls three to five holy allies while held in both hands.
