What it does

The swords are built for fast, high-impact fights, so each one hits hard while wearing out quickly. Among the new items is the Electro Stick, which calls down a lightning strike on impact, and the Fire Sword, which burns an enemy struck by its blade. The author plans further swords in later updates and mentions a pair of hidden items drawn from the film.

Instant Swords is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it installed. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.5. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source. The author asks for feedback and suggestions for new sword ideas.

Key features

  1. Hard-hitting, fragile swords

    Each sword deals high damage but loses durability fast, which suits short, aggressive fights.

  2. Electro Stick

    Calls a lightning strike down where it is used, and it appears as a single item in the set.

  3. Fire Sword

    Strikes set enemies alight, burning them during combat.

  4. Secret items

    Two hidden items are drawn from the film, left for players to discover.
