Too Many Swords
Too Many Swords adds a set of swords with unusual effects, from a cactus blade that pricks its wielder to a glass blade that can call lightning.
What it does
The mod adds twelve swords that players can obtain in survival and one more available only in creative mode. Each sword has a special ability instead of a plain damage bonus. The Cactus Sword hurts the player who holds it until the wielder gives it up or one of them dies, and the Glass Sword has a low durability that can summon lightning on a hit. The Water Sword works like a reusable water bucket, and the Lava Sword is a blade that behaves like lava.
The mod targets survival players who want weapons with a theme, and also builders and adventure map makers who need unusual combat items. Because it runs on client and server, a multiplayer server needs the mod installed and every player who joins needs it too. Files are published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.20 – 1.21.1 across four game versions. The source code is open source under the MIT License, and a wiki lists the abilities of each sword.
Key features
Cactus Sword
A sword that pricks the player holding it, which keeps the wielder from using it lightly.
