Getting Started with More Swords & Weapons

Overview and First Steps

More Swords & Weapons expands Minecraft's combat arsenal with a wide range of themed weapons, each with distinct handling. The mod's items span tiered metal variants and unique named blades, so you can progress from basic gear toward rarer finds.

Start by exploring the processes and items sections of the wiki to understand how weapons are obtained. Many entries share a material theme, such as the Diamond family of weapons, which includes a Claymore, Cutlass, Glaive, Greataxe, Greathammer, Halberd, Katana, Longsword, Rapier, Sai, Scythe, Spear, Twinblade, and Warglaive. Each shape implies a different reach, swing, or role in combat, so pick the one that matches your playstyle.

Special named weapons like Arcanethyst, Caelestis, Bramblethorn, and Brimstone Claymore sit outside the standard tiers. The Runic Forge block is central to crafting or upgrading within this mod, so check the blocks and processes pages before assuming a vanilla crafting table will work.
