Ancient Blade

Inspired by AltarSMP.

Base item: Netherite Sword Command: /ancientblade [player] Permission: customweapons.ancientblade (default: op) Resource Pack: Install the AltarSMP Texture Pack - this plugin set is built around it and looks/sounds as intended with it installed.

Cross-Plugin Detection (/weapons)

Every AltarSMP weapon plugin registers /weapons [player], which hands you one weapon from every other AltarSMP plugin currently installed and enabled - a live check each run, nothing to configure.

Crafting Recipe

. S .
I D I
. S .

Where:

  • S = Sculk
  • I = Diamond
  • D = Echo Shard

Drop the ingredients into a crafting table in that pattern (. = empty slot) to get the Ancient Blade. Recipe can be turned off in config.

Enchantments

  • Sharpness V
  • Sweeping Edge III
  • Fire Aspect II
  • Looting III
  • Unbreaking III
  • Mending I

8 Attack Damage, 1.6 Attack Speed (Netherite Sword-level, regardless of the weapon's own material). The item is also unbreakable.

config.yml

weapon:
  cooldown-ability-1: 8
  cooldown-ability-2: 10
recipe:
  enabled: true
  shape:
    - " S "
    - "IDI"
    - " S "
  ingredients:
    S: SCULK
    I: DIAMOND
    D: ECHO_SHARD

Cooldowns are in seconds and reload from config on server start. Set recipe.enabled: false to disable crafting and hand the item out with /ancientblade only.

Abilities & Triggers

Trigger Ability What it does
Passive Deep Connection Standing on Sculk, Sculk Catalyst or Sculk Vein grants Speed I for 5 seconds.
Right-Click Echolocation Sends a real sculk pulse expanding outward from you up to 24 blocks. Any player the expanding pulse actually reaches gets revealed and marked, rather than everyone in range instantly.
Shift+Right-Click Presence Applies Darkness for 5s to your target (within 8 blocks) and surrounds them with Sculk Soul particles.
Passive (kill-based) Growing Power Permanent buffs unlock as you rack up kills with the blade: 2 kills = Speed I, 4 kills = Strength II, 5 kills = Strength III.

Notes

  • The weapon is bound to the player who receives it via a persistent NBT tag, so lore/name changes won't break ability detection.
  • The activating player is never hit by their own ability's damage, knockback, or negative effects, even for area attacks, explosions and travelling projectiles/waves.
