Ultimate Elemental Swords
Ultimate Elemental Swords adds a set of swords, each tied to one element, that trigger area effects when the player swings them.
What it does
Each blade in the set is linked to an element: fire, blue fire, water, air, earth, plant, ice and lightning. Swinging a sword starts that element's effect, such as a blaze that sets nearby enemies alight, a freezing cage, an earthquake that throws mobs into the air, a poison cloud, a gust, or a thunderstorm. The effects come with dense particle displays, so the swings can be followed on screen.
The mod also includes a Void Sword, which creates a black hole about eight blocks in front of the player. The black hole pulls nearby enemies toward its center and then ends in an explosion that launches them in several directions. Updates are published for Fabric and Forge, and the content is built for play on 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, with both the server and every player needing the mod. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
