God Swords
Combat in Minecraft has always followed a familiar rhythm: better sword, more damage, quicker kill. God Swords throws that logic out the window and replaces it with something far more interesting. This add-on introduces weapons that deal damage based on a target's maximum health rather than a flat number, which means even the toughest bosses and the most heavily armored players can be brought down with a few well-placed swings.
What Makes God Swords Different
Most weapon mods simply add a bigger number to your attack stat. God Swords takes a percentage-based approach. If you are in Creative mode with 100 health, a sword dealing 10 percent max health damage will hit for 10 damage. Scale that up to a boss with thousands of health, and the same sword suddenly becomes devastating. This mechanic keeps fights relevant at every stage of the game, whether you are dueling a friend in full Netherite or grinding through a raid.
The mod also ships with a configurable system that lets you fine-tune nearly every stat. The default percent damage for the Glitched Sword sits at 500 percent, but nothing stops you from pushing it to 20000 percent if you want absolute chaos. Boss stats and armor values can be adjusted the same way, letting you make encounters easier or turn them into genuine nightmares. Configuration files live in the "godswords" folder, so tweaking values is as simple as opening a text file.

Supported Versions and Loader
As of today, active development is focused on Minecraft 1.18.2, which continues to receive updates. If you are running an older version, the mod may still function, but new features and fixes will not appear there. The add-on is designed for the Forge loader, so make sure your installation matches before you begin.
For players who want a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path that handles God Swords and its dependencies automatically, removing the guesswork from manual file placement. Its built-in catalog also keeps track of version compatibility, so you always know which build matches your game.
How to Install
Getting started is straightforward, even if you have never modded Minecraft before. Follow these steps:
- Install the Forge loader for Minecraft 1.18.2.
- Download God Swords for Minecraft from the official mod page.
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder, located in your Minecraft directory.
- Launch the game using the Forge profile and confirm the mod loads correctly.
- Open the "godswords" config folder afterward if you want to adjust damage percentages or boss stats.
Once the game starts, you can craft the Glitched Sword and Glitched Staff using the recipes shown on the mod page. Test them against a mob with high health to see the percentage system in action, then experiment with the configs to find a balance that suits your playstyle.
Final Thoughts
God Swords is a clever twist on Minecraft combat that rewards experimentation. The percentage-based damage system scales naturally with whatever you throw at it, and the deep configuration options mean you are never stuck with someone else's idea of balance. Whether you want a fair duel or a sandbox full of absurdly overpowered weapons, this add-on delivers both. Download God Swords for Minecraft, install it on 1.18.2 with Forge, and see how quickly the rules of battle change.
