Usage

Amethyst Longswords (Amethyst Sword) are high-damage weapons that are far superior in stats to Minecraft's expensive netherite sword. While a little over-powered compared to basegame weapons, it is the perfect companion for the novice explorer or those with a challenging PVE survival modpack.

Left-clicking with the sword inflicts damage upon mobs and players. For many mobs the Amethyst Sword is a 1-2 hit kill. Unlike the Amethyst Scythe, Longswords will not break blocks like grass or flowers even if a strike intersects their hitbox. 

Enchanting
Amethyst Longswords cannot be used in an enchanting table, but can be combined with enchanting books in an anvil (vanilla or cantazarite).


Repair

Each time the sword damages a player or mob, the sword's durability is decreased by one. The sword can destroy boats and minecarts with one hit, and without lowering the durability.

The Amethyst Longsword can be repaired with Cantazarite using a Cantazarite Anvil.


Known Issues

If you find an issue, please report it to our bugs channel on Discord. We ask that you look to see if your issue was reported first!

  • [-] Amethyst swords break blocks (grass etc) in survival when a hit intersects with their hitbox. This is supposed to differ from the scythe which does/should break them.
