How To Use

Holding the Earthreaper

Keep the Earthreaper equipped in your main hand to continuously maintain Strength V. The effect has no visible particles.

The strength boost also applies briefly when you use the item or hit an entity.

Activating the Earthquake

Use the Earthreaper while holding it in your main hand:

• The shockwave forms about 2.5 blocks in front of you.
• Dirt rises in a small ring around the impact point where the space is empty.
• Nearby entities within roughly 4 blocks are affected.
• Affected entities take 6 damage, receive Slowness II, and are knocked away in the direction you are facing.
• Items and the player using the ability are ignored.
• The ability has a cooldown of about 5 seconds.

Protected or occupied terrain may prevent some of the dirt from appearing, but the shockwave can still affect nearby targets.

Melee Attacks

Strike an entity with the Earthreaper to:

• Deal the weapon's 8 attack damage.
• Apply Slowness II for about 1.5 seconds.
• Knock the target backward.
• Refresh a brief Strength V effect for the wielder.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Verdant Earthreaper at a crafting table with one netherite ingot, one emerald, and three sticks.

In Creative mode, the item is available in the Equipment category. For commands, use the item ID com_verdant_earthreaper_jgqv4pck:my_sword.

Abilities And Mechanics

Progression And Strategy

The Earthreaper is most effective when you keep it equipped during combat so its Strength V bonus remains active. Use melee attacks against individual targets, then activate the earthquake when several enemies close in or when you need space.

Aim slightly ahead of moving enemies before using the ability. The shockwave is centered in front of you rather than directly at your feet, making it useful for controlling a group while keeping some distance.
