Simple Sword Cane
Simple Sword Cane is an equipment mod for Forge 1.20.1 that adds a walking cane which can switch between sword-like modes.
What it does
The mod adds two new items to the game, a cane that doubles as a sword and an unsheathed blade made from an iron sword. Holding the cane in the main hand speeds up the player's movement, and right-clicking switches the cane between its modes. The author built the mod because existing cane mods felt dull, so this version focuses on a cane that can also fight.
Simple Sword Cane runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Both the server and every player need the mod, because it is client and server. Recipes can be viewed in mods such as JEI, which shows how the two new items are crafted.
Only the 1.20.1 build exists, with 1.1.0 as the latest Forge file, released 2025-01-31. The first release was published 2025-01-26.
