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.

Technical Summary

For Slowness and Poison, the area of effect on mobs is 3 blocks around the striker. For Instant Health and Invisibility, the area of effect on players is 5 blocks around the striker. The potion effects can be stacked, so a single sword swing can cause all 4 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.

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
Instant Health II Applies absorption for 8 seconds to nearby players including the striker
Invisibility (Extended) Applies invisibility for 4 seconds to nearby players except the striker
