Combo Sword
by penetrator
Combo Sword is a Minecraft 1.20.1 sword that gives up some damage for faster strikes and adds a second-hand effect, on Fabric and Forge.
What it does
Swings with the sword come quicker than with a regular sword, since its attack speed is raised to 2 while its own damage value stays the same. Holding the sword in the off hand grants Haste II, which the author frames as a combo effect for players who fight with both hands occupied.
The item is crafted from a Diamond Hoe, a Nether Star and a Blaze Rod, so it sits well above the basic swords in progression. The mod runs on Fabric and Forge for the 1.20 – 1.20.1 range, and the files for both loaders target 1.20.1. Because it changes an item's stats and effects, the environment is client and server, meaning the server and every player need the mod. The code is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which is a license that is not open source.
The author notes a MCreator plugin that can generate Fabric mods from procedures and plans to update the sword in a later release. The public issue tracker and wiki are linked from the project page for reporting problems and reading details.
Key features
Faster sword attacks
The sword attacks at a raised speed, so repeated hits land quicker than with a regular sword.
Haste from the off hand
Holding the sword in the second hand applies Haste II to the player while the sword is there.
Crafted from late-game items
The recipe needs a Diamond Hoe, a Nether Star and a Blaze Rod, placing the sword after those materials are gathered.
