Lifesteal Scythe

Quickstart

Craft the scythe at a crafting table with iron ingots, sticks, redstone, and nether wart:

Put it on your hotbar and use it as a melee weapon. Kill eight non-player mobs in a row with the scythe to gain 30 seconds of Regeneration I. Carrying it anywhere in your hotbar also makes red particles appear above you periodically.

Overview

The Lifesteal Scythe is a melee weapon with 7 attack damage and 900 durability. Its healing comes from building a kill streak, rather than from each hit.

Abilities and Mechanics

• A lethal scythe hit on a non-player mob counts toward your streak. Hits on players do not count.
• Your eighth consecutive scythe kill grants Regeneration I for 30 seconds, then the streak starts over.
• If you get a player-caused kill while holding another item, your current streak resets.
• Red particles appear above you periodically while the scythe is in any of your nine hotbar slots; you don’t need to hold it.

Progression and Strategy

Keep the scythe selected while finishing mobs so your kills count toward the streak. Once you reach eight, use the regeneration time to recover during combat.
