I was fooling around with Photoshop because I was bored and I decided to whip something up reflecting how this would work with the new item Dinnerbone is working on, as well as how the OP wanted it. The only difference is that in the images I made you put the dye on first and then you put the gem in.

Coloring the Hilt


Adding the Gem

Thanks much for doing these! I actually had the same idea, but not the time, so much appreciation! Will add these to the OP as an idea!

Quote from DarkHax

well it looks like im a bit behind. i just saw this

and came to ask if this was something like you guys suggested with the sword naming system but it looks like people were here with this way way before me

Haha, yeah, most people in the Minecraft world pick up on stuff pretty quick.
So now that you're done updating More Swords Mod:
Can any work be started on this one? And another question, if a mod is made, does that decrease the possibility that it'll be added to vanilla?

And our new block is confirmed to be... an Anvil!

No way. It's perfect! Adding that image to the OP.

Quote from Badprenup

Not typically. There are some things (Such as Villages and Pistons) That were in some mod or another way before being added to Vanilla. I'd say that all ideas have a very low chance of being added, but ones that are made into mods have a much better chance of being noticed by developers.

This makes sense. Thanks for the input!

Very good idea

Quote from gulden2

I like this idea

Thanks for support guys!

Quote from pinballboy7

It would be awesome to have a random naming system similar to that in the Diablo franchise and the Fate/Torchlight franchise.

I love this idea.

While we're at it, why not have the gems and stuff give minor bonus enchants?

Thanks for support! I do like the idea of the random naming system, but seeing as the anvil already has the "Repair and Name" aspect, it is almost pointless. Also, you're the second person to suggest the idea of small changes to the swords properties based on the inset gems. I had a chart up there on buffs/debuffs but I took it off because it seemed a bit complex at the moment. I suppose I will add a poll on this and see what others have to say!

Thanks for the input!

Like it very much, I mean, you want your sword to be very special. it is Your sword. and this gives a not overly OP way to make swords individual and special at the same time. just finished the Inheritance quadrilogy, so I'm really for this,
(but as a bonus, you should be able to dye the metal. maybe not realistic, but hey... what is)

Thank you very much for support. And, right on! This was inspired by Inheritance. As for dying metal.. that is how this idea began, but many many others did not like the idea. With the new Anvil, being able to customize the hilt seems reasonable.

Quote from SnowConez

I love this idea. I have an idea for a sword:
The Zephyr, it's hilt would would blue while the rest would be white, with the exception of the pommel, which would have a diamond embedded in it. It would have knockback 4, but nothing else.

Great! For Zephyr, are you thinking that the blade is white? As posted above, only the hilt is customized. Not sure where you're going with this, but take a look at some of the sword suggestions as well as the pictures.

Quote from AidanNC

I think it is good idea since you can add your own personality to the sword like if you wanted a black hilt and a white gem in it

Also i like the Legendary Sword idea since you would have a sence on achieving something and once you collect them all you would be Indestructible........wouldn't that be epic

I Support

Thanks! Yeah, all the legendary swords would be nearly impossible. Think of all the dungeons, and then think about how often records appear in them. And then take probably 1/2 or 1/3 out of that.. that's the chance of finding a Legendary Sword. Would be great for a video series.

I love this idea! Full support! +1


Maybe you should make this idea with bows too, add a whole customized feature to them as well

Thanks for support! The idea of advanced bows has also crossed my mind, but what would you suggest to customize? There don't seem to be many features that stand out, other than to color a bow and give it a hand gaurd. Ideas?

Quote from tehpwnzerz

You just made my day, sir. I love this idea and the fact that it encourages people to progress in the game beyond the nether.

Cheers!
