How to Make a Custom Sword in Minecraft Bedrock (No Coding)

Guides › Items & tools

A custom sword is a new melee weapon added by an add-on. In Bedrock you can choose how much damage it does, how long it lasts, how well it takes enchantments and which item repairs it in an anvil.

Addon's Studio gives you a sword editor with a starter texture, so you can have a working weapon in minutes. Then you can go further and give it powers that trigger when it hits a mob or when it's used.

Step by step

1. Add a Sword

   Open your project, tap Add item and choose Sword. Give it a name like Ruby Sword.

2. Set damage and durability

   Attack damage sets how hard it hits, and durability sets how long it lasts before breaking. Enchantability decides how good its enchantments are.

3. Pick a repair material

   Choose the item that repairs it in an anvil, such as one of your own gems or a vanilla diamond.

4. Draw the sword

   Paint the icon or import a picture. Turn on 3D model to build a 3D version in Blockbench that shows when it's held.

5. Add powers with Actions

   Pick an event like Hit a mob or Right-click / tap to use, then run commands or one of your functions. This is how swords get powers like lightning or fire.

6. Add a recipe and export

   Turn on Crafting and fill the grid, for example two of your gems above a stick. Then tap Export and test it with /give.

Tips

• The editor starts at 8 damage, about the same as a vanilla diamond sword in Bedrock. Go higher for an end-game weapon.
• Turn on Enchanted shine for a legendary look.
• Add a short cooldown to strong actions so they can't be spammed.
• Make a matching set: tools and armour that all use the same repair material.
