Flame Axe
by Snupi
Flame Axe is a Fabric magic weapon that deals 9 damage per hit and can call down a lightning strike on the nearest player.
What it does
The axe is enchanted only with an anvil, so its magic does not come from ordinary crafting. Each hit deals 9 damage. When the wielder uses the ability, a lightning strike is summoned onto the nearest player within 30 blocks, and that strike can set the target on fire. The ability has a 30-second cooldown, which limits how often a fight can be opened this way.
Installation is on the Fabric loader only, for game version 1.20.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, which means no redistribution or modified builds are allowed without permission from the author Snupi. The latest file, 1.0.1, was published on 2025-07-08.
Key features
Lightning strike ability
The axe summons lightning onto the nearest player within 30 blocks, and the strike can set that target on fire.
Flame damage
A hit from the axe deals 9 damage and can leave the target burning, so it works as a fire-based weapon.
Thirty-second cooldown
The ability recharges after 30 seconds, so a single axe cannot fire lightning repeatedly.
Anvil enchantment
The axe is enchanted through an anvil, which sets its power apart from standard crafted weapons.
