Swordish

by Happy1speed

Swordish adds three new melee weapon types to NeoForge 1.21.1, all built around the two-handed mechanic from Twohanded Engine.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Three weapon types join the game: long two-handed axe-pikes, a long two-handed knife on a stick, and a double-sided two-handed sword. The double-sided sword performs sweeping attacks that cannot land critical hits. Swordish also rebalances the vanilla axes so that attack speed and damage line up with their sword equivalents.

Swordish requires Twohanded Engine, which must be installed alongside it. Twohanded Engine supplies the two-handed mechanics the new weapons depend on, and the mod does not work without it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.6 as the latest file, dated 2026-08-08.

Key features

  1. Long two-handed axe-pikes

    A long two-handed weapon that combines an axe head with a pike, added as a new melee option.

  2. Long two-handed knife on a stick

    A long two-handed weapon built around a knife blade mounted on a pole, adding another reach-based melee choice.

  3. Double-sided two-handed sword

    A sword with a blade on each end that performs sweeping attacks, which cannot land critical hits.

  4. Rebalanced vanilla axes

    Vanilla axes get adjusted attack speed and damage so each tier matches its sword counterpart.

Questions

Does Swordish need another mod to work?

Yes. Twohanded Engine is a required dependency, and Swordish must be installed next to it on both the client and the server.

Is Swordish available for other loaders or game versions?

The catalog lists files for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, so the mod is not published for Fabric, Forge or other game versions.

Does the server need Swordish installed?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Dualblade: Double sided twohanded sword that preforms powerful sweed attacks, but cannot critical hit. Swordish also Rebalances vanilla axes, making them have a consistant attack speed and each tier being 2 more attack damage than thier sword equivelents, bringing them more in line with combat test snapshot axes.
