Sword in the Stone
by bonker
Sword in the Stone places unique swords across the world, each with one random set of stats and one random magical ability.
What it does
Players find the swords while exploring, and every sword differs from the others. Each one rolls its own stats and a single random magical ability. Until a player retrieves the sword from its stone, the stone fires a laser straight up at intervals, which helps the player locate it. Sword in the Stone runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.18.2 – 1.21 under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
