minecraft expansion

Minecraft Expansion adds elemental swords, special crafting tables and a few new mobs, and it is meant to be played in survival.

What it does

The mod adds a set of swords and tools, along with some new ores and mobs. The first five elemental swords cover fire, lightning, toxin, wither and obsidian damage. Players start obtaining the ores and swords through normal play, and recipes become available as they progress toward the final swords. Each sword has its own enchantments and abilities, and the endgame swords hint at what they are meant to become.

Two special crafting tables handle most of the new recipes. One combines vanilla swords into a new combined sword, and the other crafts enchanting swords from vanilla equipment such as TNT, an ender eye or a heart of the sea. Additional items include an ice sword that freezes enemies except flying ones, normal and bat daggers, and a cursed sword that deals heavy damage at the cost of taking damage. A healing ore grants regeneration after an enemy is hit, and pressing shift switches it to the off-hand. Two hidden swords can only be obtained by playing legitimately or by using the give command.

The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.4, with the latest files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4 dated 2025-09-23. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is not open source; the author holds All rights reserved. Three nether mobs spawn only in the Nether Wastes, and a resource pack version of the mod exists for 1.19.4 and 1.20.1.
