Minecraft Mod · Forge & NeoForge
Show off your weapons on pedestals, glass cases and wall mounts, in 244 materials, from oak planks to netherite.
Sword Displays adds decorative blocks for showing off swords, axes and other weapons. Every display comes in 244 materials: wood, stone, brick, metals, gems, Nether and End blocks, and every colour of wool, concrete, terracotta and stained glass. So there's one to fit any build, from a cosy armoury to a dragon-slayer's trophy hall.
A pedestal that stands your weapon upright on the floor.
The same pedestal under a glass case, for your most prized blades.
Mounts a weapon flat against a wall.
Each display type comes in three styles:
| Action | Controls |
|---|---|
| Place a weapon | Right-click an empty display while holding it |
| Take it back | Shift + Right-click with an empty hand |
| Tilt (45° steps) | Right-click with an empty hand |
| Spin (45° steps) | Ctrl + Right-click with an empty hand |
| Pick a rack slot | Click the left, middle or right part of the block |
Each rack slot can be turned on its own.
Use any supported material. Its block decides what the display looks like.
M Material
S Slab
G Glass Pane
To make the Plaque style, craft a display with leather placed above it. For the Rack style, place a stick above it instead.
Only the player who placed a weapon can take it out or turn it, and other players can't break a display that's holding one. Creative mode is the exception.
A comparator gives a full signal from an undamaged weapon, and a weaker signal as the weapon wears down.
Any item tagged as a sword or axe, or that accepts weapon enchantments, works automatically.
Turn whole groups of displays on or off to keep your creative tab tidy.
If a weapon isn't picked up automatically, add it to the
sworddisplay:swords item tag:
data/sworddisplay/tags/item/swords.json
{
"replace": false,
"values": [
"examplemod:example_sword",
{ "id": "othermod:fancy_axe", "required": false }
]
}Before Minecraft 1.21, the folder is tags/items/ instead of tags/item/.
Use "required": false for items from mods that might not be installed.
Settings are in config/sworddisplay-common.toml. For example,
to turn off rack-style wall displays:
[rack]
wall = falseRestart the game after changing the config.
