Sword

Swords should be well known from vanilla Minecraft. To hit a foe with a sword, you have to go near it, since the sword is a melee weapon. You can also fight with a sword while on a mount. Right-clicking with sword in hand will perform a block (NOTE: does not work with the Sword of Command).

All swords are crafted like the ones in vanilla Minecraft: two ingots for the blade and one stick for the handle. There are a lot of different swords; nearly every faction has its own. Curved swords are called "scimitars" but are used and crafted like all the other swords.

Swords can be crafted, acquired from drops, looted from chests, or purchased from traders. They can be enchanted using an enchanting table and repaired or named using an anvil.



The picture to the right shows all the swords as of Beta 23 in the order (from top to bottom, left to right) of the list directly below, which is ordered by increasing damage and durability.

Top row: Sword of Command, Golden, Wooden, Mallorn, Stone, Bronze, Iron, Half-troll, Dol Guldur

Middle row: Rohirric, Angmar, Mordor, Near Harad, Gondor, Dol Amroth, Wood-elven, Black Uruk, Uruk

Bottom row: Galadhrim, High-elven, Blue dwarven, Dwarven, Utumno, Morgul blade, Diamond, Anduril, Mithril

The ancient sword is missing, because it can't be put in a sword pedestal (the pedestals are from the Bibliocraft-Mod).

Crafting
All craftable swords and scimitars are done so with respect to the original vanilla sword crafting recipe. This means that each recipe requires one stick and two of another material (usually a type of ingot). The second material required depends on the type of sword being crafted (refer to the list below). In addition, all swords must be crafted on the appropriate crafting table (also denoted in the list below).

Every recipe follows this pattern:
