Simply Swords 9minecraft Mod Wiki

Simply Swords adds a large variety of unique, hand-crafted weapons that go far beyond the vanilla sword. On top of many new weapon types, it introduces a collection of Unique and Runic weapons - special blades that carry powerful active and passive abilities. It is designed to make your character's weapon feel distinctive rather than generic, and it pairs perfectly with combat overhauls and RPG-style adventure playthroughs.

Simply Swords expands the arsenal with several brand-new weapon classes, each with its own model, reach, attack speed and damage profile:

• Longswords - balanced blades, a step up from the vanilla sword.
• Greatswords / Two-handers - slow but heavy-hitting with wide swings.
• Spears - extra reach so you can strike from a safer distance.
• Rapiers - fast, low-damage-per-hit weapons that shine with rapid attacks.
• Scythes, Katanas, Twinblades, Hammers and Gunblades - each with a distinctive feel.

Different builds and playstyles favour different weapons, so it is worth experimenting to find the blade that fits how you fight.

The highlight of the mod is its Unique and Runic weapons. These are special swords with built-in abilities you trigger by right-clicking. Effects vary widely from weapon to weapon and include things like:

• Unleashing arcing soul slashes and crescent energy waves that damage everything in their path.
• Calling down lightning and storms.
• Bursting into flames (immolation) that burn nearby enemies.
• Dashing through shadows to reposition instantly.
• Draining life from foes or healing yourself.

Many of these weapons also apply status effects, mark targets, or grant temporary buffs, giving combat a lot more depth and variety than swinging a plain iron sword.

Weapons are found by exploring and looting structures across the world - dungeon and structure chests are the main source of Unique weapons. Runic weapons can be forged and upgraded at a Runic Table using materials you gather on your journey. Building up from basic runic gear to the strongest blades gives the mod a satisfying gear-progression loop, so there is always a next weapon to work toward.

Hold a Unique or Runic weapon and right-click to use its ability. Each weapon's tooltip describes what it does. Some abilities are instant, some have a short cooldown, and some are channelled while you hold the weapon. Because each blade has its own attack speed and reach, mixing a weapon's normal attacks with its special ability is key to getting the most out of it in a fight.

Simply Swords includes an in-game config so you can tune weapon behaviour and effects to taste - for example adjusting damage values, ability strength and visual effects. Options are editable through the config screen (where the loader supports it) and in the mod's config file, so both single-player and server owners can balance the mod for their playthrough or modpack.

• Read each weapon's tooltip - it tells you the ability and any special mechanics.
• Keep exploring: the rarest Unique weapons come from loot, so structure-hunting pays off.
• Invest in the Runic Table early so you can upgrade toward the stronger blades.
• Simply Swords works great alongside combat-overhaul and RPG mods for a full adventure setup.
