Orbiting Blades

Turn familiar vanilla swords and axes into a layered flying-weapon formation. Launch blades individually, charge the formation, then release a powerful ring-shaped finisher. The mod preserves recognizable vanilla weapon appearances without adding a persistent charge bar, blade-count icon or cooldown timer.

Installation

Requires Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.4.10 or a compatible newer 47-series release, and Java 17. Install the same version on both the client and server. No additional mods are required. Place the release JAR in your instance's mods folder.

Controls

• Hold the Returning Blade and tap G to activate the formation.
• Once active, tap G to fire one blade, consuming one glowstone dust per shot.
• Hold G for at least two seconds and release to unleash the finisher. It costs three glowstone dust and has a 12-second cooldown.
• Shift + G safely recalls blades during an attack. Otherwise, it briefly provides frontal defense against vanilla ordinary and tipped arrows.
• Ctrl + G deactivates the formation. Key bindings can be changed in Controls.
• Creative mode requires no materials. Left-click retains melee attacks; right-click retains vanilla interactions.

Crafting

Use a crafting table. Place glowstone dust in the top-center slot, iron ingot / diamond / iron ingot across the middle row, and a stick in the bottom-center slot. Leave all other slots empty.

Combat and visuals

By default, the formation controls up to six flying blades. Individual shots deal 6 damage with an 18-block range. The finisher deals 12 damage with a 24-block range and can hit up to five distinct hostile targets. Its hollow ring can miss small targets in the center. Attacks stop at obstacles and do not destroy terrain.

Damage is calculated on the server. Players, passive mobs and allies are excluded by default. The layered formation uses diamond, iron, golden and netherite swords, plus iron and diamond axes. Additional decorative weapon streams are client-side visuals: they add no damage and consume no weapons from your inventory.

A reduced-effects option is available. Server settings can adjust material costs, damage, cooldowns and PvP.

Version 1.2.1

Removes the additional persistent HUD and fixes the starting point of the post-release convergence animation while retaining multiple weapon types, hit feedback and vanilla weapon appearances.

Validation includes a successful build, 12 actual client workflows, and starting, saving and shutting down a dedicated server using the release JAR. Multiplayer with two clients and long-term stress testing have not yet been verified.
