Description
The Shadow Dagger is a netherite-tier glowing blade that deals 8.5 attack damage and functions as a fast melee weapon and short-range teleport — right-click to blink up to 10 blocks in the direction you're looking (you stop just in front of the first solid block), with a 5-second cooldown; you can still use it for normal attacks while the ability recharges. After each successful teleport the dagger triggers a ground smash in a 5-block radius that damages nearby living enemies, knocks them back and pops them slightly into the air while playing smash particles and sound. It only accepts and caps the following enchantments: Sharpness V, Knockback II, Looting III, Fire Aspect II, Unbreaking III, and Mending; updated to version 4.0.0.
Mod Wiki
Shadow Dagger
Quickstart
- Craft the Shadow Dagger using an Ender Pearl, a Netherite Ingot, and a Netherite Sword (see recipe below).
- Hold it in your main hand — it appears in the Combat creative tab as well.
- Right-click to blink up to 10 blocks in the direction you're looking. You land just in front of the first solid block in your path.
- After blinking, a ground smash automatically erupts around you — stand clear of allies and watch enemies scatter.
- Attack normally while the 5-second blink cooldown recharges.
Overview
The Shadow Dagger is a glowing netherite-tier blade that doubles as a short-range teleport tool. It hits hard in melee and lets you reposition instantly in combat, then punishes nearby enemies with an area-of-effect smash every time you blink. It is a single item with no variants.
What It Adds
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Attack Damage | 8.5 |

| Tier | Netherite |
| Blink Range | Up to 10 blocks |
| Blink Cooldown | 5 seconds |

| Ground Smash Damage | 8.5 |
The dagger emits a glowing effect and is found in the Combat creative inventory tab.
How To Use
Melee Attacks
Use the Shadow Dagger like any sword — left-click to strike enemies. Its fast swing speed and 8.5 attack damage make it competitive with the best netherite weapons.
Blink (Right-Click)
Right-clicking activates the blink: you are instantly moved up to 10 blocks in the direction you are looking. The teleport stops just before the first solid block in your path, so you won't phase through walls. If the ability is on cooldown the right-click does nothing; the 5-second cooldown is shown on the item icon in your hotbar.
Ground Smash
Every successful blink triggers an automatic ground smash at your new location:
- Deals 8.5 damage to all living enemies within a 5-block radius.
- Knocks hit enemies back and pops them briefly into the air.
- Produces a visible particle burst and an audible smash sound.
You do not need to do anything extra to trigger the smash — it fires automatically after every blink.
Crafting And Obtaining
Craft the Shadow Dagger at a crafting table. The recipe is unlocked as soon as you join a world.
The dagger requires a Netherite Sword and a Netherite Ingot (meaning you need netherite-tier progression) plus an Ender Pearl to bind the teleport ability.
Abilities And Mechanics
Enchantments
The Shadow Dagger only accepts a specific set of enchantments and caps each at its listed maximum. No other enchantments can be applied, regardless of the enchanting table or anvil.
| Enchantment | Max Level |
|---|---|
| Sharpness | V |
| Knockback | II |
| Looting | III |
| Fire Aspect | II |
| Unbreaking | III |
| Mending | I |
Progression And Strategy
- Early blink, late smash: Even without enchantments the blink lets you gap-close on ranged mobs or escape danger instantly. Prioritize Mending early so the dagger sustains itself.
- Sharpness + Fire Aspect combo: Maximising both enchantments turns every melee strike into a high-damage, igniting hit — ideal for boss fights.
- Blink into crowds: Teleporting into the middle of a mob cluster immediately detonates the ground smash on all of them at once, making the dagger highly effective against groups.
- Knockback synergy: With Knockback II on the sword and the built-in smash knockback, enemies are kept at arm's length after every blink, giving you control over fight pacing.
- Cooldown management: The blink recharges in 5 seconds. Use normal attacks in the interim — the fast swing speed keeps your DPS up while you wait for the next blink window.
