Item:vphlIo's Netherite Sword
vphlIo's Netherite Sword is the primary weapon of vphlIo and the most lethal player-wielded item on the Xandaris server. It is a near-maximally enchanted netherite sword responsible for at least two confirmed player kills, including the murder of Sigward_f. Despite its kill count, the sword has no custom name — it is simply "Netherite Sword."

Enchantments

| Enchantment | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sharpness | V | Maximum |
| Fire Aspect | II | Maximum |
| Sweeping Edge | III | Maximum |
| Looting | III | Maximum |
| Knockback | I | Below maximum — many PvP players prefer less knockback to keep targets in melee range |
| Unbreaking | III | Maximum |
| Mending | I | Maximum — keeps the sword at near-full durability |
The sword's anvil repair cost is 31 (out of the "too expensive" cap of 39), indicating approximately five anvil operations to combine enchanted books.
Kill History
Confirmed Player Kills
- Sigward_f — February 23, 2026 at 00:15:30 UTC, at The Island. The murder of Sigward_f following a four-second countdown over stolen player heads.
- One additional tracked kill — the ToolStats plugin records 2 player kills since February 19 but only one death message explicitly names this weapon. vphlIo's February 20 spawn kill of Sigward_f likely used this sword but predates the DeathMessages weapon display.
Mob Kills
The sword has 1,445 tracked mob kills since February 19, including a mass villager slaughter on The Island — over 40 villagers killed in rapid succession across February 20–21. This accounts for a significant portion of the mob kill count.
The "somehow using" Death Message
The death message "Sigward_f was slain by vphlIo somehow using Netherite Sword" does not indicate a custom-named weapon. The "somehow using" phrasing comes from the server's DeathMessages plugin, which uses that template for all PvP weapon kills:
&4☠ &c%player% was slain by %killer% somehow using %weapon%
Earlier kills by vphlIo (February 17–20) display as plain "was slain by vphlIo" because the DeathMessages plugin was installed on February 19 and did not retroactively affect prior death messages.
Context
Trophy Collection
vphlIo stores the sword alongside a trophy shulker box in his ender chest. The box contains player heads from his kills: Sigward_f, samboyd (x8), AwesomeAG99, Linus_wf, barryjeans, Diamond7120, and others. It also holds the Blade of Steel — a different legendary weapon originally given to Kitten9337.
Other Named Weapons on the Server
For context, only three weapons have appeared in death messages:
- [ss] — used by barryjeans to kill Sigward_f and AwesomeAG99 on February 16
- Blade of Steel — used by razrxcz to kill EEgan on February 18
- Netherite Sword (this weapon) — used by vphlIo and tuodjw in kills after the DeathMessages plugin went live
