A: Swords automatically cannot be placed in containers except anvils. They're also protected from hoppers and item frames, ensuring they stay with their intended owner.

A: Yes! Explosion powers and effects are carefully tuned for fair gameplay. Phoenix Talon's explosion power was specifically rebalanced from 5.571f to 3.45f for better PvP balance.
Q: Can I customize recipes and disable certain swords?
A: Absolutely! Full recipe customization is available through the configuration system. You can enable/disable individual sword recipes and adjust enchantment levels.
Q: Do sword abilities have cooldowns?
A: Yes, each sword has balanced cooldown timers that can be customized through the config. Recent updates in v1.5.12 standardized cooldown timings across various swords for better balance.
Q: Can I change the activation key from F(off hand)?
A: Yes! Use /aswords trigger to set any keybind you prefer (the keybind must already be configured in your Minecraft controls).
Q: What is Ritual Crafting Mode?
A: Ritual mode transforms sword crafting into a server-wide event! Instead of instantly receiving the sword, it materializes as a 3D model in the air and charges over several minutes while all players are notified. Perfect for creating epic moments on your server!
Q: How does the World Border Expansion work?
A: The world border starts small (50 blocks by default) and can be dramatically expanded to full size with /as start. Features a 10-second countdown with cinematic titles and sounds, perfect for SMP server launches and special events.
Q: Do I need any dependencies or additional plugins?
A: No external dependencies required! Astral Swords works as a standalone plugin.
Q: Can I see who crafted a sword when announcements are enabled?
A: This is configurable! Use /aswords announceplayername to toggle whether player names are shown in crafting announcements.
Q: What's the difference between Premium and the free version?
A: Premium includes exclusive features like enhanced invisibility, custom trigger systems, advanced configuration options, ritual crafting mode, world border expansion system, priority support, and regular content updates with new swords and abilities.
Q: Do the visual effects impact server performance?
A: The plugin is optimized for multiplayer environments. Particle effects are designed to be visually impressive while maintaining good performance. v1.5.13 introduces enhanced performance optimizations, including an O(1) water flow prevention system that provides better functionality with minimal server overhead.
Q: How have cooldowns changed in v1.5.12?
A: In v1.5.12, we've reduced Warden's Oath sonic boom cooldown from 75s to 25s for better combat utility, standardized Phoenix Talon's cooldown to 20 seconds across all modes, and improved the overall cooldown system for better balance and gameplay flow.
Q: What changes were made to the Windblade in v1.5.12?
A: Windblade has been refactored to apply its speed effect on demand instead of continuously. This makes the ability more strategic and resource-efficient while maintaining its mobility benefits.
Q: How does the new Eclipse Blade invisibility system work in v1.5.13?
A: Eclipse Blade now features enhanced invisibility mechanics! The invisibility persists for the full 90-second duration even when switching to other items in your hotbar. Anti-spam protection prevents ability abuse, and you'll get clear error messages if you try to activate while already active or on cooldown. The total cycle is 115 seconds (90s active + 25s cooldown).
Q: What makes the Guardian Blade water dome special in v1.5.13?
A: The Guardian Blade now uses an advanced O(1) water flow prevention system that maintains perfect dome integrity. Unlike regular water blocks that flow and lose their shape, our system ensures the protective dome stays perfectly spherical throughout the entire ability duration, providing consistent protection.
