The Swift

The Swift is a fan-made dimension for Minecraft: a bright, peaceful world of coral-pink meadows, frosted trees and pools of rainbow-coloured ichor under a turquoise sky. It is full of souls and song. Gentle Singers, bouncing blubs and patient echo golems live here alongside hungry sifters and lurking sculkers, and four bosses are waiting.

You reach it through the great reinforced deepslate frame at the heart of every ancient city, by playing it a melody. On some nights, a rift tears open in the Overworld and offers a shortcut.

About this edition

The Java Edition mod has everything in the Swift: flowing ichor you can swim in, the full sky cycle with auroras, and a Soulsick effect you can see in your inventory. Melodies can be played with redstone too.

Did you know?

  • A Soul Block opens a rift home from anywhere in the Swift, and only the Swift’s Thrive tide recharges it.
  • The Swift’s day is split into three tides. During Endure, soul corrupted monsters roam.
  • A slabber will lick you better: it puts out fire and removes a harmful effect.
  • A Monarch fights alongside its own echoes, which repeat its swings and spins, and splits off a spectral copy of itself when hurt.
  • Drop a diamond spear into ichor and it comes out as a Spectral Spear.
  • Landing on a blub cancels your fall damage.
