The Eternal Weapons (WIP)
by Foxablue
The Eternal Weapons, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, adds craftable late-game swords, axes, bows and tridents made from a new rare ore's drops.
What it does
Red Diamond Ore is a new rare ore that drops Red Diamonds, and those drops serve as an ingredient for the mod's weapons. Players gather enough of them to craft the weapons in the mod's list, which is meant to sit at the end of a survival progression. The project is an unfinished work in progress, so the weapon list and balance may change in later builds.
The Eternal Sword has a broken form that deals 9 attack damage and a repaired form that deals 16. The Eternal Axe deals 20 attack damage but has a long cooldown between swings. The Eternal Bow fires regular arrows with greatly increased damage, and the Eternal Trident deals 17 attack damage and returns to the hand right after it is thrown, a behavior the author describes as buggy and suited to single-player play.
Only the client and server both need the mod, because the environment is client and server. The release is a single build for 1.20.1 on Forge, first published and last updated on 2025-10-18, and it is licensed under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want high-damage weapons in a single-player world, and anyone willing to accept an unfinished mod with a buggy trident.
How it compares
Sword Variants is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server and is not open source, so it covers the same version and side as The Eternal Weapons. Balanced Minecraft Hardcore is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.20.2 – 1.20.4 under the Apache License 2.0, so it needs no client install and runs on different versions. Simple Hearts is a client and server Forge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.20.1 released under the BSD 3-Clause License, and it changes health display instead of adding weapons.
