🎯 Tips & Tricks
Check if your game version is compatible with the mod's last update (October 2025) to avoid crashes.
If you're using a mod manager like BepInEx, make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder—usually 'BepInEx/plugins'.
Test the configurable damage and reach settings in a creative save before using it in survival, so you don't accidentally make the game too easy.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Configurable damage and reach means you can tailor the saber to your playstyle, whether you want a balanced upgrade or an overpowered meme weapon.
- Custom SFX and VFX make it feel like a proper endgame tool, not just a stat stick.
- Fills a real gap in the game's progression—Thermoblade is the last knife, so this gives veterans something new to craft.
👎 Cons
- Low endorsement count (37) means it's not widely tested—you might hit bugs or balance issues that the community hasn't ironed out yet.
- No install instructions or dependency info provided, so you'll need to figure out the setup yourself, which could be a hurdle for modding newbies.
- Only adds one item—if you're looking for a broader content pack, this won't scratch that itch.
