Sword In The Stone

Quickstart

1. Load a new world with the mod installed. Within a few seconds of your first spawn, a legendary monument generates somewhere in the Overworld within 500 blocks of your spawn point — look for it on hills, slopes, or cliffs.
2. Follow the warm golden beacon beam rising into the sky to locate the monument.
3. Walk up to the stone pedestal and interact (tap/right-click) the ornate sword handle sticking out of the center stone.
4. The sword is pulled free instantly. You are automatically equipped with the full legendary set — any gear you were already wearing is safely moved into your inventory.
5. You're now ready to fight. The Long Silver Sword one-shots most normal mobs.

Testing tip: In Creative mode, find the Sword In The Stone Test Spawner block in the Construction tab of the inventory. Place it down and interact with it to spawn a fresh monument for testing purposes.

Overview

Sword In The Stone adds a single, rare legendary monument to every new world. It is a one-time event — once the sword is claimed, the monument becomes an Emptied Ancient Stone and the beacon deactivates. The reward is a full legendary gear set, fully enchanted and effectively indestructible, making it a powerful early-game prize for whoever finds it first.

What It Adds

The Monument

A small stone pedestal structure built from mossy cobblestone and mossy stone bricks, placed on natural terrain. At its heart sits the Sword in the Stone center block, with the Legendary Sword Handle protruding visibly from the top. A buried vanilla beacon beneath the monument emits a warm yellow/orange beam — the beam starts several blocks above the hilt so the handle remains clearly visible.

Legendary Items

Test Spawner

The Sword In The Stone Test Spawner is a special block available in the Construction tab. Placing and interacting with it spawns a new monument nearby, useful for Creative-mode testing or demonstration.

How To Use

Finding the Monument

• The monument spawns once, within 500 blocks of your world spawn, preferring elevated or sloped terrain.
• Look for the golden beacon beam in the sky — it is the clearest landmark guiding you to the monument.
• The ornate handle glows faintly, making it visible even at dusk.

Claiming the Sword

• Approach the monument and interact with the glowing sword handle (the top block of the pedestal).
• A totem particle effect and sound confirm the claim.
• Your existing armor is automatically moved to your inventory — nothing is lost.
• The center stone converts to the Emptied Ancient Stone and the beacon shuts off. The monument cannot be claimed again.

Using the Legendary Shield

• Place the Golden Shield in your off-hand slot.
• Hold it up (use/block input) to absorb all incoming damage types.
• It has a minimal cooldown (1 second), identical to a vanilla shield.

Progression And Strategy

• Rush the monument early. The monument spawns within 500 blocks of spawn and the beacon beam is visible from far away. Head toward it as soon as you load in — on multiplayer, the first player to interact claims everything.
• Don't worry about your current gear. Any armor you're wearing when you claim the sword is safely returned to your inventory. You lose nothing.
• The sword trivializes combat. With 2048 base damage and Sharpness V, normal Overworld mobs are one-shot. Save it for situations that matter or enjoy the power fantasy.
• The armor covers every threat. Multiple max-level protection enchantments across all four slots means fire, explosions, projectiles, and melee are all heavily mitigated from day one.
• Mending keeps everything topped up. As long as you collect XP orbs, all six pieces self-repair, making this set a permanent fixture of your playthrough.
