Jawa's Lightsaber
by furti-two
Jawa's Lightsaber brings Star Wars style lightsabers to Forge and NeoForge, a weapon that a player can wield as a Jedi or Sith blade.
What it does
Lightsabers in the mod work differently from ordinary weapons. A blade can be ignited and turned off with a switch, and it can be held in a separate slot. A blocked projectile is sent back when the player right-clicks with the weapon raised.
The lightsaber also works as a multitool. It burns entities and items on the ground, produces heat, and smelts items in a way similar to a portable furnace. Lightsabers are crafted with a gem chosen by the player, with Diamond as the default, and the blade color follows the gem: Blue, Amethyst, Purple or Redstone. A crafting table dyed red gives a red blade.
Jawa's Lightsaber is compatible with Better Combat. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
