Prismatic Thunderblade

Quickstart

Craft the Prismatic Thunderblade at a crafting table. The recipe unlocks when you obtain a Nether Star:

Equip it in your main hand and attack a creature to test its extra damage and chance to call down lightning. While you hold it, you also gain enhanced health, speed, and haste, and take no fall damage.

Overview

The Prismatic Thunderblade is a powerful sword built around two perks: lightning strikes on some hits and persistent combat and movement boosts while it is in your main hand.

What It Adds

• Prismatic Thunderblade: A sword with 39 damage and 3,000 durability. It can also be enchanted as a sword.
• The sword is available in the Equipment section of the Creative inventory.

How To Use

Hold the sword in your main hand to activate its ongoing benefits. Attack normally to strike targets; no extra input is needed for the lightning effect.

Crafting And Obtaining

The crafting recipe uses red, orange, yellow, and green dye, a Nether Star, a diamond, and a stick. Obtain a Nether Star to unlock the recipe, then craft the sword at a crafting table.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Extra hit damage: A successful hit applies an additional 40 damage (20 hearts) to the target.
• Lightning: Each hit has a 50% chance to summon lightning at the target.
• While held in your main hand: You gain Health Boost V (10 extra hearts), Speed II, and Haste I. Fall damage is canceled.
• The ongoing benefits require the sword to remain in your main hand.

Progression And Strategy

Get a Nether Star to unlock the recipe, then gather the dyes, diamond, and stick to craft the blade. Keep it in your main hand when you want its movement and defensive benefits; use it to attack for its extra damage and chance to strike with lightning.
