Blade

Blade 1.1.0 — first public release 🗡️

A server-side weapons & armor progression plugin for Paper 1.21.11. Players install nothing — the resource pack is served automatically when they join.

Content

• 15 materials × 5 weapon types (Sword, Axe, Mace, Greatsword, Warhammer) — ~130 items
• Rarity ladder: Uncommon = stats only · Rare = + passive · Epic & Legendary = + active ability (right-click)
• 4 Legendary materials: Echo, Netherite, Sculk, Obsidian
• Full armor sets with real worn textures — per-material armor values, set potion effects, and defensive perks on Epic/Legendary sets (Sonic Riposte, Phase Step, Bastion…)

Progression

• Weapons level 1–10 through combat and gain ability Ranks (faster cooldowns)
• Tiers I–V via re-smithing — requires max level and resets it, so every tier is a fresh grind; max tier unlocks the active on Rare/Uncommon weapons
• 30 reforges: drop a weapon, armor piece, or even a plain vanilla sword into an anvil with a Super Essence — the roll is hidden until you take it

World & economy

• Super Essence drops from player kills (Looting scales) and curated structure chests
• Every material's Upgrade Template generates in its themed structure
• In-game guide book: /blade codex — all recipes work in survival, no commands needed

Everything is tunable in config.yml.
