Simply Swords All the Death Strike Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need both Simply Swords and Death Knights installed for this to work?
Yes, this data pack requires both the Simply Swords mod and the Death Knights mod to function. Without either one, the Death Strike weapons won't appear or work properly.
Which weapons can use Death Strike?
Death Strike is available on all standard greataxes (iron, gold, diamond, and netherite), the runic greataxe, and the Watching Warglaive from Simply Swords.
How do I actually cast Death Strike in combat?
Refer to the guide 'How to Cast Death Strike with a Greataxe' for detailed instructions on the attack mechanics and timing required to trigger the spell.
What's the difference between using Death Strike on a greataxe vs the Watching Warglaive?
Both weapons can cast Death Strike, but the Watching Warglaive has been upgraded specifically for this dark magic. Check 'How to Use Death Strike on the Watching Warglaive' for glaive-specific mechanics.
Do higher tier greataxes (like diamond or netherite) have stronger Death Strike?
See the guide 'How to Choose Between Greataxe Tiers for Death Strike' for a comparison of how weapon tier affects the spell's power and effectiveness.
My Death Strike weapon broke—how do I fix it?
Consult 'How to Repair Death Strike Weapons' for the specific repair methods and materials needed to restore your enchanted weapons to full durability.
Can I use Death Strike on other Simply Swords weapons?
No, Death Strike is only available on the specific weapons listed: greataxes (all tiers), the runic greataxe, and the Watching Warglaive.
Does Death Strike work with enchantments from other mods?
The data pack integrates Death Knights' magic system with Simply Swords weapons, but compatibility with third-party enchantments depends on how those mods interact with the base mods.
Is Death Strike affected by my armor or the target's armor?
Death Strike is a magical ability, so its damage calculation may differ from standard weapon damage—test it in-game or check the Death Knights mod documentation for exact mechanics.
Can I disable Death Strike on certain weapons?
Since this is a data pack, you can remove it from your world or server if you want to play without the Death Strike feature, but there's no built-in toggle for individual weapons.
