voidblades
by .netherite_
Voidblades reskins netherite swords, spears and maces so the blade or spear head shows a live end-portal void texture on Fabric.
What it does
The mod replaces the blade of the netherite sword, and the head of the netherite spear and mace, with an animated end-portal texture. A custom teal and gold hilt reskins all three weapons. The void effect shows in the inventory, on the ground and in the hand, and the weapon window uses the same texture. The enchantment glint applies to the handle only, so the void itself does not glint.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can use it on any server without installing it on the server. It requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.11. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, released 2026-07-04 on the beta channel. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Animated void blade
Holding the netherite sword shows its blade as a swirling end-portal effect, which keeps moving while the weapon is in hand.
Glowing spear head
The netherite spear head glows with the void texture, while the shaft keeps its vanilla look.
Teal and gold hilt
A custom teal and gold hilt covers the sword, spear and mace, giving the three weapons one shared look.
Void in every view
The effect shows in the inventory, on dropped items, in the player's hand and in the weapon window.
