Ember Tideblade

Quickstart

1. Open a crafting table and craft the Ember Tideblade:

1. Move it to your hotbar and equip it.
2. Attack a mob with the blade. Each successful hit applies Slowness II, making the target struggle to move.
3. Keep striking slowed targets or use the effect to create distance and reposition.

You can also find the blade in the Equipment section of the Creative inventory.

Overview

The Ember Tideblade is a powerful sword with a base damage of 9 and 500 durability. Its special effect applies Slowness II whenever you hit an entity, helping control enemies during combat.

What It Adds

• Ember Tideblade sword
• 9 attack damage
• 500 durability
• Sword enchantability
• A hit effect that applies Slowness II with visible particles
• Maximum stack size of 1

How To Use

Equip the Ember Tideblade in your main hand and use the normal attack control to strike a target. A successful hit applies Slowness II for 5 seconds, reducing the target’s movement speed by approximately 30%.

Hit the target again to apply the effect again and maintain the slow.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Ember Tideblade is crafted at a crafting table using:

• 1 orange dye
• 2 diamonds
• 1 prismarine shard
• 1 stick

The recipe becomes available after obtaining orange dye. In Creative mode, look for the blade in the Equipment category.

Abilities And Mechanics

Slowness II

Every successful hit applies Slowness II to the struck target.

• Duration: 5 seconds
• Movement-speed reduction: approximately 30%
• Particles: visible around the affected target
• Repeated hits refresh the effect

The blade’s slow effect is useful for stopping enemies from quickly reaching you, escaping from dangerous fights, or keeping a target within attack range.

Progression And Strategy

Use the Ember Tideblade as soon as you can gather its diamond, prismarine, dye, and stick ingredients. Against fast or aggressive mobs, land an opening hit and use the resulting slow to control the fight.

For tougher encounters, continue attacking to refresh Slowness II while avoiding unnecessary damage to preserve the blade’s 500 durability. Because it is enchantable as a sword, it can also serve as a strong foundation for an enchanted combat weapon.
