ForgeClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Lightsabers in the mod are melee weapons that deal fire damage, listed at 24 damage, and set mobs on fire on hit. The author describes the damage as realistic, and the weapons are themed on the sabers from the films. Crystals needed for crafting come from a rare ore that generates in caves, so finding enough material takes some exploring.

The mod is a client-side only install, so players add it to their own game and a server does not need it to run. Its single published build is 1.1.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-10-10, and it is available for Forge only. The code is All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.

Among the other Forge lightsaber mods listed in the catalog, this one is a Forge-only build for 1.20.1 that runs on the client alone.

Key features

  1. Fire-dealing lightsabers

    Lightsaber weapons set mobs on fire when they strike, adding a burning effect to combat.

  2. Crystal ore in caves

    A rare crystal ore generates in caves and provides the crystals used to craft lightsabers.

  3. Speed boost on right click

    Holding the right mouse button with a lightsaber makes the player move faster and jump higher.

  4. Realistic damage model

    Damage from the lightsabers is tuned to feel like the sabers in the films, with the author noting the weapons are fairly strong.

How it compares

Full comparison

Jawa's Lightsaber is available for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is not open source, while MC Star Wars - Lightsabers is limited to Forge 1.20.1. Spectral's Simple Sabers is also a Forge build for 1.20.1, but it runs client and server, so every player and the server both need it. Celestial Lightsabers is an MIT License mod for Forge 1.18.2, which makes it the only alternative for that version.
