Fantasy Weapon Texture Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using the Fantasy Weapon Texture Pack?
Turn the pack on in your world's resource packs, then hold an Iron Sword. With the pack active, it should appear as the Iron Dagger, the simplest variant with no extra equipment required.
Why does my sword look different depending on what armor I'm wearing?
The pack changes a weapon's look based on the equipment you have on. For example, an Iron Sword alone shows as the Iron Dagger, an Iron Sword with full Iron Armor becomes the Claymore, and adding a Shield to that turns it into the Iron Broadsword.
Do the fantasy weapons do more damage than normal swords?
No. This is a texture pack, so it only changes how your weapons look. A Claymore or Dragon Sword still has the same stats as the vanilla sword or axe underneath it.
I'm wearing full armor but my sword didn't change, what am I doing wrong?
Check that every armor piece matches the weapon's material. Full Diamond Armor won't trigger the iron variants, and full Netherite Armor won't trigger the diamond ones. Also check whether the variant needs an extra item, such as a Shield, Totem of Undying or mob head.
How do I get the Dragon Sword?
Hold a Netherite Sword while wearing full Netherite Armor and also have a Totem of Undying equipped. The same setup with a Shield instead gives the Calamity Blade, and with a mob head it gives the Demonic Sword.
Where do I put the shield, totem or mob head for it to count?
The helmet slot is already taken by your armor, so the extra item normally goes in your off-hand. If a variant isn't showing, move the Shield, Totem of Undying or mob head into the off-hand slot and check again.
What weapon do axes and hoes turn into?
Axes have their own variants. The Iron Axe becomes the Iron Battleaxe, or the Iron Halberd with a Shield. The Diamond Axe becomes the Azure Greataxe, and the Netherite Axe becomes the Treacherous Axe, or the Vindicator with full Netherite Armor and a mob head. The only hoe listed is the Diamond Hoe, which becomes the Azure Scythe.
Does this change wooden, stone or gold swords?
The pack lists variants only for iron, diamond and netherite equipment. Wooden, stone and gold tools aren't among the listed weapons.
Can other players see my fantasy weapons in multiplayer?
Because this is a resource pack, players who don't have it active will see the normal vanilla weapons. To make sure everyone sees the fantasy designs, apply the pack to the world so it is shared with players who join.
Will this pack slow down my game?
It only swaps weapon textures based on what you're holding and wearing, so the impact should be small compared to packs that change blocks or the world. If you run other texture packs that also change swords or tools, put this one higher in the pack list so its weapons take priority.
