Not enough vanilla swords
Vanilla Minecraft gives you a handful of swords and calls it a day. If you have ever stared at your diamond blade and wished for something with more punch, more personality, and a lot more sparkle, then Not enough vanilla swords is the add-on you have been waiting for. Built with MCreator and packed with 133 mod elements, this expansion turns ordinary survival into a full-blown weapon smithing adventure.
What Not enough vanilla swords Adds to Your World
The core promise here is simple: more swords, more reasons to keep mining. This mod introduces 30 new swords, 2 crafting stations, 2 new blocks, 4 new minerals, 2 new structures, and a long list of fresh items to chase. Every new material feeds into a crafting chain, so progress always feels rewarding rather than grindy.
The Sword Progression
You will not jump straight to the best blade. Instead, you climb a ladder of increasingly powerful weapons. The magma sword and the prismarite sword are two standout examples, and the prismarite blade inflicts mining fatigue on anyone you hit, which makes it a nightmare in PvP. The obsidian sword cannot be crafted at all, so you have to find it inside one of the two new structures. All of these weapons eventually feed into the legendary sword, the strongest blade in the entire mod.
Crafting Stations and Minerals
Two custom stations drive the whole economy. The ores mixer lets you combine base materials into advanced ingots, including nether diamond, diamond ingot, lapis ingot, and lapis diamond. The second station, the matter founder, uses a redstone block as fuel alongside a netherite ingot, a nether diamond, and a hell ingot to produce no matter. That no matter is the foundation of the strongest swords in the pack, so expect to spend serious time here.
- 30 new swords with unique effects and materials
- Ores mixer and matter founder crafting stations
- 4 new minerals, including nether diamond and lapis diamond
- 2 new structures hiding rare loot like the obsidian sword
- Dozens of new items tied into a deep crafting tree
Supported Versions and Loaders
Not enough vanilla swords for Minecraft is designed around the Forge ecosystem, which is the most common loader for MCreator projects of this size. Most players run it on 1.20.1, and the mod generally behaves well on other recent 1.19 and 1.20 builds. Because MCreator mods rely on specific mappings, always double-check that your loader version matches the file you grab, otherwise the game will refuse to launch or crash on world load.
If you would rather skip the manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the heavy lifting for you: it lists Not enough vanilla swords directly in its add-on catalog, installs it with a single click, and keeps it updated whenever a new build drops. That means fewer version mismatches and more time swinging your legendary sword.
How to Install Not enough vanilla swords
Getting started is straightforward, even if you are new to modding. Follow these steps and you will be mining nether diamonds in no time.
- Install a compatible Forge profile for your chosen Minecraft version.
- Download Not enough vanilla swords from a trusted source and confirm the file matches your loader.
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder inside the Minecraft directory.
- Launch the game using the Forge profile, not the default vanilla option.
- Create a new world or back up an existing one before loading in.
Once you are in, craft the ores mixer first. It unlocks the mineral chain that everything else depends on, and it is far cheaper than rushing toward the matter founder. From there, hunt down the two new structures for the obsidian sword, then start assembling the components for the legendary blade.
Why It Belongs in Your Modpack
Not enough vanilla swords fills a gap that many combat mods ignore: meaningful progression. Instead of dumping overpowered gear on you, it builds a crafting journey where every ingot matters. The prismarite debuff adds tactical depth to fights, the hidden obsidian sword rewards exploration, and the legendary sword gives you a clear end goal to chase across dozens of hours.
Whether you play solo survival or a multiplayer server, this add-on keeps the grind interesting. Grab your pickaxe, fire up the ores mixer, and see how far the sword ladder takes you.
