Cloud Swords Mod
A cloud computing-themed tech & magic mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric)
Ever wondered what AWS Lambda would look like as a Minecraft sword? Or what if your armor progression mirrored cloud certification levels? Cloud Swords turns cloud computing concepts into engaging game mechanics — swords with service-inspired abilities, spellbooks that cast "cloud operations," machines with energy networks, and a full villager economy.
Built for developers, cloud engineers, and gamers who love RPG content mods.
