Stone Swords Mod
Vanilla Minecraft gives you a handful of sword options: wood, stone, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite. That is fine for most players, but if you have ever stared at a pile of andesite, granite, or diorite and wished those blocks were good for something beyond decoration, the Stone Swords Mod is exactly what you have been waiting for. This lightweight add-on expands your weapon selection with a full set of stone-based blades, each one craftable from the most common blocks in the overworld.
What the Stone Swords Mod Adds
The core idea behind this add-on is simple: if you can mine it, you should be able to swing it. Instead of letting all that extra rock clutter your chests, you can now turn it into functional weaponry. The mod introduces six new swords, plus a hidden bonus weapon that rewards curious players who experiment with recipes.
- Andesite Sword – crafted from two andesite blocks and a stick
- Granite Sword – crafted from two granite blocks and a stick
- Diorite Sword – crafted from two diorite blocks and a stick
- Tuff Sword – crafted from two tuff blocks and a stick
- Gravel Sword – crafted from two gravel blocks and a stick
- Sharpened Diamond Sword – crafted from flint, a diamond, and a stick
- Secret Sword – a hidden recipe involving a golden apple for players who dig deeper
Each recipe follows the standard sword layout: two materials stacked vertically in the crafting grid with a stick in the bottom slot. That means you can craft any of these blades within seconds of spawning, provided you have gathered the right blocks. The Sharpened Diamond Sword stands out as a direct upgrade path for players who want a little extra punch without committing to full netherite gear.
Supported Versions and Loader
Fabric Loader and API Requirements
This add-on was built for the Fabric modding ecosystem. It requires Fabric Loader 0.11.6 and Fabric API 0.37.2 to run correctly. If you are running an older or newer build, you may run into compatibility issues, so double-check your setup before launching the game. The mod targets the Minecraft 1.16 era, which means players on that version get the smoothest experience with all recipes functioning as intended.
For players who prefer a hassle-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that handles Fabric and the Stone Swords Mod automatically, so you never have to touch a single config file. Its built-in add-on catalog also keeps version compatibility in check, which is a lifesaver if you juggle multiple modpacks at once.
How to Install the Stone Swords Mod
Getting this add-on running is straightforward, even if you are new to modding. Follow these steps and you will be slicing through mobs with a granite blade in no time.
- Install Fabric Loader 0.11.6 for your Minecraft version
- Place the Fabric API 0.37.2 jar file into your mods folder
- Drop the Stone Swords Mod jar into the same mods directory
- Launch Minecraft using the Fabric profile
- Verify the new swords appear in the creative inventory or craft one in survival
If you want to download Stone Swords Mod, make sure you grab a build that matches your loader and game version. Mismatched files are the number one cause of crashes, so take a moment to confirm compatibility before you start playing.
Why This Mod Is Worth Trying
The beauty of this add-on is how seamlessly it fits into vanilla progression. You are not overhauling combat or adding complicated mechanics. You are simply giving underused blocks a second life. Early-game players benefit the most, since andesite and gravel are everywhere, and a quick sword can mean the difference between surviving the first night and respawning at your bed.
The Sharpened Diamond Sword also adds a nice mid-game stepping stone. Instead of jumping straight from iron to diamond, you can craft something a bit stronger using flint you already have lying around. The secret sword, meanwhile, gives completionists a fun goal to chase.
Whether you are building a themed adventure map or just want more variety in your hotbar, the Stone Swords Mod for Minecraft delivers a compact, well-balanced expansion that respects the vanilla feel. Try it on your next world and see how much fun a humble block of tuff can be.
