Lunar Swords
by PWC
Lunar Swords adds fifteen swords to Minecraft, each with its own effect on mobs or the player, such as freezing, poisoning, or flight.
What it does
Each sword in the set carries a distinct ability. The Ice Sword freezes mobs, the Poison Sword poisons them, and the Dark Sword applies the wither effect. The Flame Sword sets targets on fire, the Magma Sword calls meteors down from the sky, and the Heal Sword restores the player's health. The Solar Blade and the Lunar Blade move the player and their targets through the air: the Solar Blade throws a fireball and launches the player, while the Lunar Blade lifts mobs and lowers gravity so the player can glide.
The set also includes the Amethyst Sword, Ruby Blade, Lightning Sword, Carbon Blade, Metal Blade, Platinum Sword and Mossy Sword. Some of them rely only on their own built-in ability, while others combine the standard sword attack with an effect. The mod is published for NeoForge, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, and both the server and every player need it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.

How it compares
Flame Blade is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and is not open source.
