The One True Stick
by OctaviusX18
The One True Stick is a Forge equipment mod that adds a single wooden stick with a glowing red gem, with an unusually strong set of effects when held.
What it does
The stick is the only item the mod adds. Its melee hit destroys a target instantly, with a one-second cooldown between hits, and the target drops dust instead of loot. Holding right-click for three seconds charges a fireball that strikes with divine force and clears a broad, deep hole wherever it lands, destroying everything except bedrock. A right-click on terrain levels it, and the stick carries infinite durability with a 10-second cooldown on its block drops.
While the stick is in the main hand, the holder gets 20 extra hearts, constant regeneration, slightly faster movement, fire resistance, reduced explosion damage and a Totem of Undying effect that saves them from lethal damage once per minute. The stick's own fireball cannot harm its wielder. Instant kills also apply to other players in PvP. The mod is published for 1.20.1 on Forge only, with Forge 47.4.10 as the build target, and it runs on the client and the server, so both need it. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Instant-kill melee
A single hit removes the target, mobs, bosses and players alike, leaving dust in place of drops.

Holding right-click for three seconds launches a fireball that carves a large crater and clears the terrain.
Passive holder buffs
Holding the stick grants extra health, regeneration, speed, fire resistance and a once-a-minute Totem effect.
Custom texture
A 16x16 pixel-art wooden stick with a glowing red gem represents the item in the world and inventory.

How it compares
Odog's Gem Mod is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, under All rights reserved. Extended Tinker is also Forge-only for 1.20.1 with a client and server environment, but it is released under the MIT License. Kanade's Kill is open source under the MIT License and is built for 1.7.10 – 1.12.2 instead, so it does not cover 1.20.1.

What the author says
A single, unassuming wooden stick — capped with a glowing red gem — that turns everything it touches to dust. One tap kills. One right-click levels the terrain. Wield it, and you become nearly unkillable.
