Description
Elemental Swords: Expanded
Sixty two swords. One for every element worth swinging.
Start with a Dirt Sword that barely counts as a weapon. Work up through cactus, bone, honey and cobweb, into the elements proper - fire, frost, thunder, storm, nature, poison - and out the far side to the Dragon Sword, the Time Sword, and an Elemental Sword that fuses four of the others into one.
Every sword hits differently. Not one of them is a recoloured iron sword with a bigger number.
What you get
- 62 craftable swords, from a joke to an endgame weapon.
- On-hit powers - burning, freezing, poison, wither, lifesteal, lightning, levitation, teleportation, lingering clouds, area shockwaves.
- Right click abilities on cooldowns - meteors, sonic beams, frost novas, ghast fireballs, dashes, blinks, a time stop, and a gravity collapse.
- Passive auras on a handful of swords - fire resistance, water breathing, slow falling, night vision, and strength during a thunderstorm.
- Tooltips that tell you the truth - every power, aura and ability is written on the item, with its cooldown.
- A real progression - eight material tiers, so a Dirt Sword and a Dragon Sword are not remotely the same purchase.
- English and Spanish language files.
- No config, no dependencies, no ceremony - install it and the swords are in the creative tab.
How a sword works
Every sword can carry up to three things, and the tooltip tells you which:
| Line | When it fires | Example |
|---|---|---|
| On hit (gold) | Every time you land a hit | The Fire Sword sets the target ablaze for 6 seconds |
| While held (green) | Passively, once a second, in your main hand | The Phoenix Sword keeps Fire Resistance on you |
| Right click (aqua) | On demand, then goes on cooldown | The Thunder Sword calls lightning down wherever you are looking |
Right click abilities cost a little durability and go on a cooldown printed on the tooltip. An ability that cannot do anything - healing at full health, swapping places with nothing - refuses to fire and costs you nothing.
The swords
Earthen (6)
Day one swords. Cheap, fragile, and mostly a joke - which is the point.
| Sword | Damage | Speed | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dirt Sword | 2 | 1.6 | 59 | On hit: throws up a spray of soil. That is genuinely all it does. |
| Sand Sword | 2 | 1.8 | 59 | On hit: a faceful of sand blinds the target for 3 seconds. Right click: a sandstorm blinds everything within 6 blocks for 6 seconds. |
| Gravel Sword | 3 | 1.4 | 59 | On hit: loose stone weighs the target down with Slowness II for 4 seconds. |
| Clay Sword | 2 | 1.6 | 59 | On hit: wet clay sets around the target's legs, Slowness III for 5 seconds. |
| Snow Sword | 3 | 1.8 | 59 | On hit: frosts the target over and slows it for 3 seconds. |
| Glass Sword | 9 | 1.6 | 59 | On hit: 3 extra magic damage. Hits like a truck, lasts about as long as you would expect glass to. |
Organic (9)
Grown rather than mined. Still weak, but these are the first swords with real tricks.
| Sword | Damage | Speed | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cactus Sword | 4 | 1.6 | 180 | On hit: 2 extra damage from the spines, plus Poison for 4 seconds. |
| Sponge Sword | 4 | 1.6 | 180 | On hit: soaks the target dry, putting out any fire, and gives you Absorption for 10 seconds. |
| Bone Sword | 4 | 1.7 | 180 | On hit: Weakness for 6 seconds, and 4 extra damage against the undead. |
| Slime Sword | 4 | 1.8 | 180 | On hit: bounces the target into the air and leaves it Oozing for 6 seconds. |
| Honey Sword | 4 | 1.4 | 180 | On hit: coats the target in honey, Slowness IV for 8 seconds. |
| Bamboo Sword | 3 | 2.4 | 180 | On hit: a 30% chance of 2 extra damage. Light, and by far the fastest sword in the mod. |
| Mushroom Sword | 4 | 1.6 | 180 | On hit: Nausea for 8 seconds and Poison for 4. |
| Web Sword | 4 | 1.2 | 180 | On hit: tangles the target in silk, Slowness V and Weaving for 8 seconds. |
| Bee Sword | 5 | 1.7 | 180 | On hit: Poison II for 6 seconds, and the honey heals you for a heart. Right click: a swarm poisons everything within 5 blocks for 8 seconds. |
Mineral (2)
Dug out of the ground, and the first hint of the elements to come.
| Sword | Damage | Speed | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coal Sword | 5 | 1.5 | 320 | On hit: sets the target alight for 3 seconds. |
| Flint Sword | 6 | 1.8 | 320 | On hit: a 35% chance the edge bites for 3 extra damage. |
Metal (6)
Smelted and hammered. Solid, dependable, and each one leans on what it is made of.
| Sword | Damage | Speed | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Sword | 7 | 1.6 | 520 | On hit: sparks, and under an open sky in a thunderstorm it calls the lightning down. While held in a thunderstorm: Strength. |
| Gilded Sword | 6 | 2 | 520 | On hit: grants you Luck for 30 seconds. |
| Redstone Sword | 7 | 1.8 | 520 | On hit: the charge jumps to you, Speed for 6 seconds. |

| Quartz Sword | 8 | 1.5 | 520 | On hit: 3 extra magic damage that armour does little about. |
| Obsidian Sword | 10 | 0.8 | 520 | On hit: 2 extra damage and a heavy shove. Slow, brutal, and it will not burn. |
Crystal (6)
Cut rather than forged. Sharper, stranger, and every one of them does something odd.
| Sword | Damage | Speed | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emerald Sword | 9 | 1.7 | 1100 | On hit: Hero of the Village for 60 seconds, and the target is marked with Glowing. |
| Amethyst Sword | 9 | 1.7 | 1100 | On hit: 2 extra magic damage, and the blade rings. Right click: fires a resonant beam 14 blocks long for 6 damage to everything in it. |

Crafting
Every sword is crafted the way a vanilla sword is - two of the blade material stacked on top of a handle:
X X = the blade material (dirt, blaze powder, a nether star...)
X # = the handle (a stick, a bone, a blaze rod, an end rod)
#The handle is part of what makes each recipe unique, so a Ghast Sword and a Vampire Sword both built from ghast tears are told apart by what you hang them on.
The one exception is the capstone. The Elemental Sword is fused from four finished elemental swords around a nether star:
F F = Fire Sword T = Thunder Sword
TSN S = Frost Sword N = Nature Sword
* * = Nether StarRequirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1.234 or newer
- No other mods, no config file, no world generation changes.
Everything the mod adds is an item, so it is safe to add to an existing world and safe to remove again apart from losing the swords themselves.
