Lore Text
"This weapon appears to have been forged at extremely high temperatures. Possibly from the lava of the nether."
Appearance
The sword was originally created with a gradient-colored name (<gradient:#525252:#6C6C6C:#A3A3A3>Blade of Steel</gradient>), giving it a metallic silver appearance in chat and inventory. The name text shifts from dark gray to light gray.
History
Creation (February 17)
On the evening of February 17, Kitten9337 — then a server operator — teleported to the world border and asked samboyd via private message:
"is it ok if i temporily place a commandblock at the world border to show u an example of a custom weapon?"— Kitten9337
Kitten placed a command block and used it to spawn the Blade of Steel. Three versions were created in quick succession — the first with the gradient name, then two more iterations. Kitten manually applied Sharpness V via /enchant (the command block likely handled the above-max enchantments).
samboyd teleported to inspect the weapon and tested it in creative mode, noting:
"hella knockback"— samboyd
Kitten explained the design philosophy — "1 less damage" than a diamond sword but massive knockback. samboyd floated the idea of community votes to "rebalance the enchanting system."
The /tp @a Incident (February 17)
Later that same evening, Kitten accidentally typed /tp @a 0 ~ 0 instead of /tp @s, teleporting every online player to coordinates 0,0 — killing several in the process. samboyd immediately ran /deop Kitten9337, stripping admin privileges. Kitten later joked in chat:
"chat now ik the fastest way to lose admin!!!"— Kitten9337
Despite losing operator status, Kitten retained the Blade of Steel in their inventory.
The Murder of EEgan (February 18)
The next day, Kitten teamed up with razrxcz, a player they had been coordinating with. When a new player named EEgan spawned nearby, razrxcz privately messaged Kitten:
- /msg Kitten9337: "kill?"
- /msg Kitten9337: "kill?"
- /msg Kitten9337: "kill?"
Kitten responded: "ys" and "u kill." Kitten equipped razrxcz with full diamond armor (razrxcz earned the "Suit Up" and "Cover Me with Diamonds" advancements instantly) and handed over the Blade of Steel.
EEgan, who had been chatting casually with the pair, was killed 17 seconds later:
"EEgan was slain by razrxcz using [Blade of Steel]"
EEgan was deathbanned from the server. The entire encounter — from EEgan's arrival to their death — lasted under four minutes.
After the Kill
razrxcz experienced severe connection issues after the killing, disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly with "Cannot interact with self!" errors. They never logged into the server again after February 18.
Current Location
The Blade of Steel is now stored in vphlIo's ender chest, inside a shulker box alongside a bundle containing 25 player heads — vphlIo's trophy collection. How vphlIo acquired the sword from razrxcz or Kitten is not recorded in server logs.
The sword has sustained only 2 durability damage out of 250, and its ToolStats plugin data records 14.12 total damage dealt and 1 critical strike — consistent with a single PvP kill.
Significance
The Blade of Steel is notable for several reasons:
- It is the only command-spawned weapon known to exist on the server
- It was created during Kitten9337's brief tenure as admin, hours before they were deop'd
- Its enchantment levels exceed vanilla maximums, making it impossible to replicate through normal gameplay
- Despite its power, it has only been used in one kill — EEgan's death on February 18
- It now sits in vphlIo's trophy collection alongside player heads and vphlIo's Netherite Sword, further cementing vphlIo's status as the server's dominant collector of power
