Scarlet Ravine Reaper

Quickstart

1. Craft the Scarlet Ravine Reaper at a crafting table.

1. Equip it in your main hand.
2. Face the direction where you want the ravine and use the weapon while standing normally. You will be launched upward, then a ravine will begin forming after a short delay.
3. Try the other combat stances:
   • Sneak + use: Long side slash
   • Sprint + use: Spinning attack
   • Sneak + sprint + use: Ravine strike
4. For instructions in-game, craft and use the Scarlet Reaper Field Guide.

The weapon has a short shared cooldown between attacks and abilities. Aim carefully: its main ability destroys terrain and can drop the removed blocks as items.

Overview

The Scarlet Ravine Reaper is a powerful sword and terrain-carving weapon. Its signature ability cuts a long, red-lit ravine through the world, while its alternate combat stances deal heavy damage and control groups of enemies.

The weapon has:

• 249 attack damage
• 2,500 durability
• Sword enchantment compatibility
• Fire, red particle, and lightning effects while held
• A roughly one-second cooldown between weapon actions

What It Adds

In Creative mode, the reaper is available in the Equipment category and the field guide is available in the Items category.

How To Use

Hold the Scarlet Ravine Reaper in your main hand and use/interact with it. Your movement state determines the ability:

The weapon also reacts when you hit an entity directly. Keep your aim on airborne enemies to trigger its impact effect.

Crafting And Obtaining

The reaper requires a netherite sword, blaze rod, magma blocks, crying obsidian, and redstone blocks.

The field guide requires a book and redstone.

Both items are crafted at a crafting table.

Abilities And Mechanics

Scarlet Ravine

The normal use ability launches the wielder upward and, after a brief delay, cuts a ravine horizontally in the direction they are facing.

The ravine is:

• 500 blocks long
• 3 blocks wide
• 8 blocks deep
• Lined with magma at the bottom
• Backed by a layer of crying obsidian

The ability follows the horizontal direction of your view, so looking up or down does not make the ravine climb or descend. It removes blocks along its route and may drop their items.

Side Slash

Sneaking while using the weapon sends a red and critical-particle slash forward for a long distance. Each living target struck by the slash is damaged once.

Spinning Attack

Using the reaper while sprinting creates a fiery, smoky attack around you. Living targets within approximately 8 blocks are damaged and pulled toward the attack. They receive a strong final knockback when the spin ends.

Ravine Strike

Sneaking and sprinting while using the weapon launches you upward before beginning the ravine attack. This is useful for starting the terrain-cutting attack while jumping into a fight or clearing a line through a battlefield.

Airborne Impact

Hitting an airborne target with the reaper can trigger:

• A lightning strike
• A fiery impact
• A roughly 10-by-10-block impact crater
• Upward knockback on the target

The crater removes blocks around the target and can scatter falling rubble.

Empowered Hits

Successful melee hits trigger an additional heavy strike. The weapon’s empowered damage includes a 34-damage portion that bypasses armor, making it especially effective against heavily armored enemies.

Held Effects

While the reaper is held in your main hand, fire and red particles follow you. A lightning pulse also appears at your position approximately every five seconds.

Progression And Strategy

• Use the normal ravine ability in open terrain where destroying blocks is acceptable.
• Aim along a clear horizontal line before activating the reaper.
• Use the side slash against enemies arranged in a line.
• Use the spinning attack when surrounded or when you need to pull enemies together.
• Attack airborne enemies to create craters and launch them away.
• Remember that all weapon abilities share a short cooldown, so choose the attack that best fits the situation.
• The ravine can destroy valuable terrain and structures, so keep it away from bases, farms, and builds.
• The field guide is useful for checking the controls without leaving the world.
