  2. Place the .jar file in the plugins/ folder of your Minecraft server (Paper Engine 1.20.2 and Java 17 required).
  3. Restart the server (or use the /reload confirm command).
  4. All versions available in /build/libs (optional)

Part 2: Resource Pack (Client)

To make swords have custom textures instead of the standard iron sword appearance:

  1. Copy the KatanaModTexturePack folder to %appdata%/.minecraft/resourcepacks/ (Windows) or ~/.minecraft/resourcepacks/ (Linux/Mac).
  2. Launch Minecraft, go to Options -> Resource Packs, and move the pack from the left to the right.
  3. Click Done.

Part 3: In-Game

Administrator commands (requires katanamod.admin permission, operators automatically have it):

  • `/katana give

You can also obtain them through crafting:

  • Wakizashi: 2 iron ingots on top, 1 stick on bottom.
  • Tantō: 2 copper ingots on top, 1 stick on bottom.
  • And MORE!!!
