The black silence
by rose_theta
Black Silence is a NeoForge magic and equipment mod for 1.21.1 that adds a sword with a set of scripted combat techniques.
What it does
The sword is a weapon with several special moves. Holding a stance, striking in sequence and parrying an incoming attack each trigger a different effect, such as a short self-buff after consecutive slashing hits, a bonus to health gained on a successful parry, or a shield-breaking combo that lands two hits. Some moves bring the player forward at speed, others cause weakness in an enemy.
The item can also be obtained through Creative mode by a key press, and the mod notes that it should be kept to one player per server and not redistributed. Installation needs only NeoForge; the mod has no listed dependencies. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest build from 2026-01-21, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Parry bonus
A successful parry grants a bonus to maximum health for the moment it lands.
Chained slashes
Three consecutive slashes are performed at high speed, and two slashing attacks give the player a self-buff for a period.
Shield-breaking combo
One technique removes an opponent's guard in a single move, then strikes twice in quick succession.
Dash and weakness attacks
Dash-based moves carry the player forward with a double slash, and another penetrating move inflicts weakness on enemies it hits.

How it compares
The attacks mod is also a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, runs on client and server, and is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. PARRY! is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4 only, licensed under the MIT License, and it is client required with the server optional, so a server can run without it. The Silence Infection is NeoForge, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, client and server, under All rights reserved.

I made Black Silence, which appears in Project Moon. Black Silence can be obtained in Creative mode and can be activated by pressing a specific key. When activated, a weapon will fall from the sky and you can obtain it by touching it. When you swing your weapon, a technique is activated and the weapon disappears…
