Nine Blades
by myshuaibi
Nine Blades adds a set of nine sword skills, each triggered by right-click, that inflict status effects, lightning and large damage amounts on targets.
What it does
Each of the nine skills has its own trigger and effect. Knife Doom applies withering and darkness to a target, and Burial Mountain scales its damage to the target's and the caster's maximum health. Rain Avalanche turns the world's weather into a thunderstorm with heavy lightning, while Black Rope sends a barrage of lightning strikes onto a chosen spot. Misty Pupils applies nausea and poison, and Flame Sparrow sets the target alight and creates lava beneath the player's feet. Other skills grant invisibility and resistance, or raise the attack range to 100 tiles.
The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.2 and 1.21.3 across four release versions in the 1.20.1 – 1.21.3 range. The latest Forge file is 1.0.7 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.3. Client and server both need the mod, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Nine sword skills
Nine skills, each bound to a right-click action on the sword, with effects ranging from status ailments to lightning strikes.
Health-based damage
Burial Mountain's damage is tied to the target's maximum health, with a smaller share taken from the caster's maximum health.
Weather and lightning
Rain Avalanche changes the world to thunderstorm and rain, and Black Rope calls down lightning on a chosen location.
Stacking true damage
Attacks gain additional true damage as the number of consecutive attacks rises, and entities with more health resist the extra effects more.
