Ever looked a your world and wished there was a bit more challenge? Ever wanted to make early game a bit more dangerous? Well if you live by the sword... you might Die by the Sword!

This Datapack is NOT recommended for new players! Especially if your world is set to HARD difficulty!

"What are the new features added by this datapack/mod?"

  • Mobs have a small chance to appear as an "elite" variant boasting high stats, more damage, armor, and even some have special abilities! Currently 34 different elites!
  • Find out information on the elite enemies by looking at them through a spyglass! The information is stored in a new advancement tab!
  • 12 New Advancements with their own Advancement tree related to elites.
  • A new tier of gear above Netherite! Empowered Netherite! Although it's somewhat expensive to empower!
  • 2 new enchantments! With more to come in the future!
  • 10 "Empowerment" upgrades to others items like Elytras, Maces, Tridents, and more!
  • 3 new craftable and consumable items!
  • 6 new exclusive "Legendary" rarity items that very rarely drop from elites! Can you get them all? (Note: Legendary Rarity items cannot be upgraded or repaired! Once their durability is used up you'll have to get a new one! Don't worry though they have MASSIVE durability pools!)
    Recipes for crafting all new items are unlocked after defeating your first elite enemy!

Currently the following hostile mobs are currently NOT supported, all other hostile mobs not listed here are supported:

  • Vexes
  • Endermites
  • Creakings
  • Zoglins
  • Wardens
  • Withers
  • Ender Dragons

You can summon in Elite mobs directly with the following command(s):
/function dbs_main:summon/dbs_<default mob name here>_leader_summon
Ex: /function dbs_main:summon/dbs_zombie_leader_summon
Requires commands to be enabled in your world! If in multiplayer also requires admin permissions!

You can give yourself empowered, consumable, and legendary items directly with the following command(s):
/function dbs_main:give_combat_items
/function dbs_main:give_tools_misc_items
/function dbs_main:give_consumable_items
/function dbs_main:give_all_legendaries
Requires commands to be enabled in your world! If in multiplayer also requires admin permissions!

Die by the Sword adds new enchantments:

Spoiler

Spearing

  • Max level of 5
  • Applies to Tridents only
  • Each level adds +1 to Trident throwing damage
  • Drops as an enchanted book from a Mythical Guardian at a random level

Double Tap

  • Max level of 1
  • Applies to Bows only
  • Causes bows to fire two projectiles instead of one and increases arrow damage (stacks with Power)
  • Increased durability and double ammo consumption
  • Incompatible with Infinity
  • Drops rarely from ANY Elite enemy

This datapack has custom textures in it! Entity Texture Features (ETF) AND Entity Model Features (EMF) are REQUIRED if you want to see the custom textures! Once those two are installed simply place a second copy of the datapack into your resource pack folder as it functions as a resource pack as well!

Feedback is welcome! You can leave feedback by heading the bug tracker link!

You are welcome to use this in a modpack/datapack group but do please credit me!
