Pexe's Elemental Swords
by Sou-um-peixe
Pexe's Elemental Swords adds more than 25 unique swords to Minecraft combat, each with its own custom effects, attacks and looks, across three dimensions.
What it does
Every sword in the set carries an element-based effect and attack pattern, giving the player a reason to switch weapons in fights rather than sticking with one blade. The swords are meant to be used as secondary or primary weapons, and they work alongside most other mods. Crafting uses recipes that can be viewed in Use Enough Items, which is recommended for finding the ingredients for each sword.
The mod is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 and was published on 2023-05-10. Its last update is dated 2023-09-23. Files also exist for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4, so players on those versions can run the swords too. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source and is released as All rights reserved. The author notes that the mod was ported from MCreator, and that a Fabric version has not been made yet.
