Pedestal of the Master Sword - The Legend of Zelda
by MrGee
Pedestal of the Master Sword adds a naturally generating shrine to the world, where a legendary sword rests on a pedestal waiting for a chosen hero to claim it.
What it does
The mod places a sacred pedestal structure during world generation. A player who explores far enough can stumble upon the shrine and find the Master Sword held in place by it, then claim the blade. The structure is produced by a datapack, so it generates as part of the world rather than being crafted or summoned.
Only the server needs the mod installed; players join a server that runs it without adding anything themselves. It requires Fabric API on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest release, 1.1.0, covering the 26.2 and 26.3 game versions. The package is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds cover 26.3 and the 1.21.9 – 26.3 range, including 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3.
Key features
Naturally generating shrine
A pedestal structure generates in the world, so the Master Sword can be found by exploring instead of being crafted.
Datapack-based generation
The structure is powered by a datapack, which keeps the world generation lightweight and close to vanilla behavior.
Legendary sword claim
Reaching the pedestal lets a player pull the Master Sword from it, reproducing a well-known moment from the Zelda series.
Vanilla-friendly design
The additions sit alongside vanilla terrain and structures, so an existing world can keep generating without rework.
