What it does

Players who use the mod see their selected swords drawn with a camera model while they hold them. The effect appears only on the local player's screen, so other players still see normal swords. Sword damage, cooldown and reach stay as they are in vanilla, and the change is purely visual.

When the sword hits a mob or another player, a configurable flash is shown and a shutter sound plays. The flash color and opacity can be set in the config, and custom shutter sounds can be added as .ogg files and picked from a list inside the config screen. Mod Menu integration opens the settings, and a P hotkey is available in game.

The mod is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the client needs it and servers can run without it. It is published for Fabric on 1.21.11, with the latest file, A2b, marked as an alpha build from 2026-03-28. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
