Using Short Swords in Survival Mode

Everyday Combat Clarity

Beyond PvP, the shortened blades improve your experience during normal survival gameplay. When fighting mobs, the clearer view helps you:

• See approaching enemies from further away
• Dodge projectiles from skeletons and blazes more effectively
• Navigate terrain while engaged in combat
• Keep track of your health and surroundings simultaneously

No Gameplay Changes

The resource pack is purely visual—your swords deal the same damage, have identical attack speed, and function exactly as vanilla swords. You're simply seeing more of the world while holding them.

Consistency Across Playtime

Since every sword material uses the same proportional reduction, you won't need to readjust as you progress from wooden to netherite weapons. The visual experience remains consistent throughout your entire survival journey, letting you focus on building and exploring rather than adapting to changing weapon sizes.
