Which weapons get the Divine Smite ability?
Divine Smite is added to all Simply Swords greatswords and greathammers made from iron, gold, diamond, netherite, or runic materials. It is also automatically applied to the special Watcher weapon.
How do I actually cast Divine Smite in combat?
Equip a supported greatsword, greathammer, or the Watcher weapon in your main hand. Press your Spell Engine spell casting button to trigger the holy attack against nearby enemies.
Why doesn't my greatsword or greathammer have Divine Smite?
Because this is a data pack, you must make sure it is placed in your world's datapacks folder or activated through a global data pack loader. Also verify that both Simply Swords and the Spell Engine system are active in your game.
Can I add this data pack to a world I already started?
Yes, you can drop the data pack directly into the datapacks folder of your existing world save. Run the /reload command in-game or restart the world to apply Divine Smite to your eligible weapons.
Does Divine Smite work on rapiers, twinblades, or katanas?
No, this pack specifically targets heavy weapons. Only greatswords, greathammers, and the Watcher weapon receive the holy magic attack.
Why does Divine Smite not trigger when I hold the weapon in my off-hand?
Spell Engine abilities bound to weapons require the item to be held in your main hand. Move the heavy weapon to your primary slot to unlock the spell casting prompt.
Do I need to craft a spell book or bind the spell at a table first?
No, the Divine Smite ability is inherently attached to the supported weapons by the data pack. As soon as you craft or find an eligible greatsword, greathammer, or Watcher, it is ready to cast.
Does this work without Spell Engine?
No, the pack relies entirely on the Spell Engine combat system to handle spell casting and deal the holy damage. Without it, the weapons will only function as normal melee items.
Is this compatible with big RPG modpacks like Prominence II?
Yes, it is designed to fit seamlessly into large RPG modpacks such as Prominence II that already utilize Simply Swords and Spell Engine. It simply expands the spell pool on existing heavy weapons without overwriting core combat mechanics.
Do wooden or stone heavy weapons get the smite attack?
No, lower tiers like wood or stone are excluded. You need at least an iron or gold tier greatsword or greathammer—or diamond, netherite, or runic—to gain the Divine Smite ability.
