More Swords Mod
by Darkhax
Swords, enchantments and a set of named blades are added by More Swords Mod, a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 and older releases.
What it does
The mod adds a set of named swords, each with its own damage value, and a durability value of X99999 for the one that lasts longest. Several blades are built on top of the vanilla sword, and each sword has its own effect when it hits a target: the Venomous Aspect enchantment poisons the mob it strikes, while the Dawn enchantment sets nearby mobs on fire and changes how a creeper reacts when it is hit.
Enchantments on the blades give more effects. Some restore durability when a mob is hit, some grant short buffs such as regeneration or extra hearts for a cost in durability, and their power grows with the level they are applied at. Enchantment levels are capped, so the Dawn and Vampiric Blade enchantments reach only a limited level when applied naturally.
Client and server both need the mod, so players and the server must run the same build. Files exist for 1.4.7 – 1.8.9 across eight release versions, with 3.1.0.125 for 1.8.9 as the latest Forge file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
