⚔️ Bladebound
Bladebound is a Fabric mod focused on named legendary weapons, world-based discovery, and light progression mechanics that integrate naturally into survival Minecraft. Powerful items are earned through exploration rather than shortcuts, encouraging players to uncover ancient structures and hidden knowledge.

A cursed blade from a dangerous lineage.
This sword does not generate in the world and must be crafted using a Nether-obtained cursed component.

Found inside the Wado Ichimonji Dojo
Excalibur — Legendary
A legendary holy sword that deals bonus damage to undead enemies.
