Nightfang Sword

Quickstart

Craft the Nightfang Sword at a crafting table using the recipe below. Keep it in your inventory after crafting: at night, it grants Strength II and Speed I without needing to be held. For healing, put it in your main hand and hit an enemy. During the day, stay under a roof or otherwise out of open sky while carrying it.

Overview

Nightfang is a vampire-themed sword with powers tied to the time of day and sunlight. It rewards nighttime combat, but exposure to direct sunlight while carrying it inflicts Wither II.

What It Adds

• Nightfang Sword: A single-stack weapon that boosts its carrier at night and heals its wielder when they deal damage.

How To Use

• Nighttime: Carry the sword in your inventory to gain Strength II and Speed I. These effects work even if the sword is not in your hand.
• Combat healing: Hold Nightfang in your main hand and attack. It restores health equal to 10% of the damage you deal, up to your maximum health.
• Open-sky danger: In the Overworld during daytime, carrying the sword beneath an unobstructed sky inflicts Wither II. Put it away or get under cover to avoid this effect.

Crafting And Obtaining

Make one Nightfang Sword at a crafting table:

The recipe uses a fermented spider eye, two netherite ingots, an iron sword, and black dye.

Abilities And Mechanics

Nighttime bonuses apply from world time 13000 until 23000. The sunlight penalty applies in the Overworld during daytime when there are no blocks above you. Both effects check for the sword in your inventory; only the healing effect requires it to be in your main hand.

Progression And Strategy

Gather the netherite and other ingredients to craft the sword, then use it for nighttime fights. Keep it stored or stay beneath cover when travelling in the Overworld by day, and wield it when you want its combat healing.
