Zerotekz’s Blades of War 2 Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn a regular sword into a custom fantasy weapon?
Place any standard sword in an anvil and rename it to match a custom weapon name from the pack (like "Excalibur" or "Winter Fang"). Once you confirm the rename, the sword will instantly display the new 3D model in your inventory and in hand.
What items can be renamed to get custom models?
Swords, axes, daggers, shields, bows, crossbows, spellbooks, maces, spears, and tools across all material tiers can receive custom models. The pack includes over seventy different custom weapon and gear names you can apply.
How do I dual-wield two custom blades?
Rename a matching weapon to go on your shield slot, then equip it alongside your main hand weapon. For example, you can hold a custom sword in your main hand and place a matching dagger model on your shield to create a dual-wield look.
Can I use spellbooks to shoot projectiles?
Yes—rename a crossbow to a spellbook name like "Crimson Codex" or "Blazing Tales", then use it as you would a normal crossbow. It will fire colorful firework projectiles instead of arrows.
Do I need to install extra mods for this resource pack to work?
No, this pack runs completely standalone on modern Minecraft versions without requiring any additional mods or dependencies.
Will custom models show up for other players on a multiplayer server?
Only players who have the resource pack installed will see the custom 3D models. Other players will see standard items, but the renamed items will still function normally.
Can I use custom weapon names with different material tiers?
Yes, many custom weapon names work across different material tiers (like iron, diamond, and netherite versions). Check the pack's item list to see which weapons support multiple tiers.
What happens if I rename an item to a name that isn't in the pack?
The item will keep its standard appearance and function normally. Custom models only apply when you use exact names that match the pack's custom weapon list.
Can I use this pack with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, but load order matters—place this pack higher in your resource pack list if you want its models to take priority over conflicting textures from other packs.
Do enchantments and custom models work together?
Yes, you can enchant renamed items normally, and the custom 3D model will display alongside enchantment effects like glow or shimmering.
