+ Add Version- Release Date:** August 27, 2026
## Summary
The nine-sword roster now has clearer combat identities, expanded passive abilities, stronger storage protection, and reliable cooldown controls.
## Changes
- Nine-Sword Roster** — Dragon's Wrath and Shadowbane have been removed. Servers using their recipes or configuration entries should remove those references.
- Skyfall Blade Reworked** — Launch from the ground, boost while airborne, and trigger a velocity-scaled blast on landing while remaining immune to fall damage.
- Soul Reaver Expanded** — Soul Harvest damages nearby enemies and converts the harvest into healing, while weapon hits retain their lifesteal effect.
- New Combat Passives** — Warden's Oath gains Echo Sense, Eclipse Blade gains Lunar Edge damage in darkness, Venom Edge poisons on hit, and Power House gains stronger falling smash attacks.
- Hold-Based Eclipse Stealth** — Eclipse Blade hides its wielder only while held in the main hand, with no timed invisibility effect.
- Decorated Pot Protection** — Astral Swords can no longer be inserted into decorated pots alongside the existing container, hopper, frame, shelf, bundle, and anvil protections.
- Cooldown Toggle Fixed** —
/aswords cooldownimmediately clears active ability cooldowns and their displays. No new cooldowns are created until cooldowns are re-enabled.
