This module allows golden swords to inflict potion effects on mobs and players.

Details

When using a golden sword and if the player has any of the 4 compatible potions in their inventory, mobs (or in some cases the player) will be afflicted with a status effect without using up the potion. The striker will not be affected by any of the effects.

Technical Summary

The area of effect is 2.5 blocks around the striker. The potion effects can be stacked, so a single sword swing can cause all 4 potion effects. The striker will not be affected by any potion effects.

Striking a skeleton with the Poison II potion in the player's inventory will turn it into a wither skeleton. The wither skeleton will still hold a bow, but the loot table will be empty.

Effects

Carrying the following potion in your inventory will cause the corresponding effect.

Potion Type	Effect
Slowness (Extended)	Causes nearby mobs to be unable to move for 4 seconds
Poison II	Withers nearby mobs for 4 seconds
