About this project
What does Light and Dark add?
--Lore--
A long time ago, when the Ancient Builders first arrived in the Nether, they took the glowstone around them and combined it with the Netherite Swords that they have made. Using this glowstone, they were able to make the Sword of Light.
During the battle against the Wither, many of the Ancient Builders finished their battle injured and some contracted the a strange disease that would eventually convert them into children of the Wither. During the conversion process, those builder were found to be more aggressive and violent compared to before the battle. A few of them eventually decided to turn against their own friends. They knew they couldn't fight against anyone who had the Sword of Light, so they took a spare Netherite Sword and fused it with redstone and wither roses to make the Sword of Darkness. From then on, the Ancient Builders would fight those the infected with the disease, but neither side were able to gain an upper hand.
--What is added?--
This mod includes 5 different swords and 2 other items. The Sword of Unison, Sword of Light, Sword of Darkness, Ultimate Sword of Light, Ultimate Sword of Darkness, a Fusion Orb and a Galactical Trim.
Sword of Light: When using this sword, it will set the entity whom was hit on fire and give them the glowing effect.
Sword of Darkness: Will give the user Damage Resistance and give the entity that was hit the withering effect.
Ultimate Sword of Light: Does the same as the Sword of Light, but with the addition of summoning a lightning bolt on right-click. There is a 5 second cooldown after using it's special ability.
Ultimate Sword of Darkness: Does the same as the Sword of Darkness, but with the addition of summoning a wither skull at an entity. There is also a 5 second cooldown after using it's special ability.
Sword of Unison: Includes the combination of all the swords.
Fusion Orb: Required to make the Ultimate versions of the Sword of Light and Darkness.
Galactical Trim: Required to make the Ultimate version of the Sword of Light and Darkness and also the Sword of Unison
Note: There is a bug where if you try to launch a wither skull over a long distance via the Ultimate Sword of Darkness or the Sword of Unison it will start slowing down until it comes to a stop in midair, so for now don't try doing that until it is fixed.
