JExElements
The Elemental Netherite Blade with Fire, Water and Lightning
Paper, Spigot and Folia | Minecraft 1.21.4
What it does
JExElements adds one weapon, the Elemental Blade. Right-click switches it between Fire, Water and Lightning. Shift and right-click uses the current element's ability. Hitting a target also applies that element's passive.
Each ability has its own cooldown, so you can switch to a ready element while another one recharges. The same jar runs on Paper, Spigot and Folia, and all text is configurable with MiniMessage gradients.
The elements
| Element | Passive (on hit) | Ability (shift + right-click) |
| Fire | Sets the target on fire | Launches a fireball. Does not break blocks by default. |
| Water | Applies Slowness IV | Knockback splash that pushes nearby players away |
| Lightning | Shocks the target back | Strikes lightning where you aim and deals bonus damage |
Features
- Independent cooldown per element
- Action bar shows the current element, the cooldown timer, and a ready cue with sound
- Particles and sounds on every passive and ability, all configurable
- Fireball does not grief terrain by default (you can turn it on)
- Works on Paper, Spigot and Folia from one jar
- All names, lore and messages use MiniMessage gradients
- Ships with English and German, add your own language
- Chests, doors and buttons still work while holding the blade
- Developer API to read a blade's element and a player's cooldowns
- Right-click (air or ground): cycle Fire, Water, Lightning
- Shift + right-click: use the current element's ability
- Hit an entity: apply the current element's passive
