Copper Great swords
Copper has always been the overlooked middle child of Minecraft metals. Iron gets the armor, diamond gets the glory, and copper mostly gets to oxidize quietly on a rooftop. The Copper Great swords add-on finally gives this humble ore the spotlight it deserves, turning it into a thunderous weapon of war. If you have ever wanted to smite a zombie with a lightning bolt while swinging a massive copper blade, this is the mod for you.
What Does Copper Great swords Add to Minecraft?
This add-on introduces a small but focused arsenal built entirely around copper. It is not trying to reinvent the entire combat system. Instead, it delivers a handful of themed items that feel right at home in a vanilla-plus playthrough. Here is what you get:
- Copper Great Sword: Deals 10 damage with an attack speed of 1. The trade-off is durability, since copper is a soft metal and the blade only lasts 300 uses.
- Decorational Copper Great Sword: A placeable version you can mount on a wall or pedestal for display, perfect for showing off your smithing skills.
- Copper Bat: A slower, heavier club that hits for 12 damage at an attack speed of 0.5.
- Lightning Strike Enchantment: A custom enchantment that summons a lightning bolt on any living entity you strike, as long as the weapon supports it.
Weapon Stats and Trade-Offs
Copper Great Sword
With 10 damage and an attack speed of 1, the Copper Great Sword sits in an interesting middle ground. It hits harder than an iron sword but swings slower, rewarding players who time their strikes rather than spam-click. The 300 durability is the real catch. Copper is soft, and the mod leans into that logic, so you will want to keep spare ingots on hand or enchant with Unbreaking when possible.
Copper Bat
The Copper Bat is the bruiser of the set. At 12 damage and an attack speed of 0.5, it is one of the slowest weapons you can swing, but each connect feels like a sledgehammer. It pairs beautifully with the Lightning Strike enchantment, turning every hit into a small weather event.
Decorational Copper Great Sword
Not every great sword needs to see combat. The Decorational Copper Great Sword can be placed down in the world, letting you build armories, trophy rooms, or medieval-themed shops with a genuine copper centerpiece. It is a small touch, but it adds a lot of personality to base building.
Lightning Strike Enchantment
The star of the show is Lightning Strike. This enchantment can only be applied to the Copper Bat or the Copper Great Sword, and it summons a lightning strike on any living entity you hit. That means mobs take extra damage, and in some cases the resulting fire can spread to nearby enemies. You can obtain Lightning Strike through an enchanting table, or find it in chests and trade for it with villagers. Combining it with the Copper Bat creates a slow but devastating crowd-control tool.
If you want to skip the manual setup entirely, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path that drops Copper Great swords straight into your mod profile, so you can be swinging a lightning-charged great sword within minutes.
Crafting Recipes
All three items use simple, early-game materials, which makes this add-on accessible even in a fresh survival world.
- Copper Great Sword: Place 1 lightning rod in the top middle slot, 1 copper block in the center slot, and 1 copper ingot in the bottom middle slot of a crafting table.
- Decorational Copper Great Sword: Place 1 Copper Great Sword in the top middle slot and 1 glass block in the center slot.
- Copper Bat: Place 1 copper ingot in the top middle slot, then 1 copper block in the center and another copper block in the bottom middle slot.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Copper Great swords is built for modern Minecraft releases, with support for both Fabric and Forge depending on the build you grab. Most players run it on 1.20.x and 1.21.x, though older 1.19 builds exist for legacy worlds. Before you download Copper Great swords, double-check that your loader matches the file version, since mixing Fabric and Forge builds is the most common reason an add-on fails to load.
How to Install Copper Great swords for Minecraft
Installation is straightforward. First, make sure you have Fabric or Forge installed for your chosen Minecraft version. Next, drop the Copper Great swords jar file into your mods folder, which you can find inside your .minecraft directory. Launch the game with the correct profile selected, and the new items should appear in your creative inventory or be craftable in survival. If you are using a launcher with a built-in catalog, the process is even simpler, since compatible versions are filtered automatically.
Final Thoughts
Copper Great swords is a compact, well-themed add-on that gives a neglected material a real identity. The slow, heavy weapons and the Lightning Strike enchantment create a satisfying risk-reward loop, while the decorative variant rewards builders. Whether you are hunting mobs in a thunderstorm or decorating a medieval hall, this mod earns its place in your loadout.
