The Sculk Sword
by Pawofthewild
The Sculk Sword adds a Sculk Zweihänder, a two-handed sword that drops only when a player defeats the Warden in the Ancient City.
What it does
The sword is obtained by killing the Warden, so reaching the Ancient City and fighting it is the only route to the weapon. Its upgraded forms follow a material path: a diamond variant with more damage, and a Netherite variant as the stronger upgrade. Traveling down into the Ancient City is made more rewarding by this gated item.
Installation is needed on the client and the server, so the server and every player must run the mod. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric file for 1.21.8, the latest Forge file for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file for 26.1.2. The mod works with Better Combat, though the NeoForge build does not carry that compatibility. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Warden-only sword
The Sculk Zweihänder can only be obtained by defeating the Warden, so it ties the weapon to a boss fight.
Diamond upgrade
A diamond variant of the Sculk Zweihänder adds more power than the base sword.
Netherite upgrade
A Netherite variant sits above the diamond form and serves as the strongest version of the weapon.
Ancient City rewards
Because the sword comes from the Warden, it gives a reason to explore the Ancient City.
