The Eight Renowned Blades

Description
Inspired by The Eight Fabled Blades mod for version 1.12, this mod introduces eight unique swords that cannot be crafted. Each weapon has its own abilities and purpose. You must explore vanilla structures such as Strongholds and Nether Fortresses to find them.

Location List:

– Arrow Render: Dungeons and Abandoned Mineshafts
– Sentinel Sword: Nether Fortresses and Dungeons
– Leg Breaker: Strongholds and Woodland Mansions
– Light Bringer: Desert Temples and Jungle Temples
– Gaia Blade: Jungle Temples and Abandoned Mineshafts
– Blood Gorger: Bastions and Nether Fortresses
– Armor Piercer: Strongholds and Desert Temples
– Dark Deceiver: Woodland Mansions and Bastions

Each sword is extremely rare. You can only repair them with Netherite, so use them carefully.

Sword Abilities:

– Arrow Render: Hold right-click to block. Incoming projectiles are cut down and destroyed.
– Sentinel Sword: Hold right-click to block. You become invulnerable and cannot be moved for a short time.
– Leg Breaker: Hold right-click to charge an attack. Release to knock enemies back.
– Light Bringer: Attacks against undead can trigger a holy explosion that applies Holy Fire. Killing undead always triggers an explosion.
– Gaia Blade: A full swing releases a forward wave that pierces enemies.
– Blood Gorger: Stores a portion of dealt damage. Right-click to convert stored damage into health.
– Armor Piercer: Hold right-click to dash forward with increasing speed. Release to strike and apply Armor Pierced.
– Dark Deceiver: Right-click to summon a clone that attracts enemy attention. You become invisible.

New Enchantments:

– Guarded: Grants 2 armor points per level while holding a sword with this enchantment
– Length: Increases attack range for weapons with this enchantment

Sword Debuffs:

– Armor Pierced: Reduces armor and armor toughness by 20%. Stacks up to two times
– Holy Fire: Burns undead for 3% of their maximum health per second for 5 seconds

Config:

You can adjust ability damage, cooldowns, chance values, charge times, and loot spawn rates.

Future Plans:

Each sword will receive an upgrade mode that lasts 2–3 minutes and enhances its abilities. To unlock it, each sword requires a specific enchantment hinted at in its tooltip.
