After a long break from modding, it was Fabric's fresh approach to modding that sucked me back in, and frankly the best way to support the future success of Fabric is by building mods with it.

Unfortunately, no. I don't have time to re-learn forge while also learning Fabric and then simultaneously maintain 2 mods.

This mod adds one simple tool; The Stick Sword.

The Stick Sword is crafted with 2 Octuple-Compressed Sticks over a stick.

It deals 100 damage and has a durability of 2500, with an attack speed of 1.

1 Octuple-Compressed stick is 9 Septuple-Compressed sticks, which in turn is 9 Hextuple-Compressed sticks, etc. etc.

This means that 1 Octuple-Compressed stick is 9^8 sticks. That's 43,046,721 sticks.

The sword costs 2 Octuple-Compressed sticks and 1 regular stick.
That's a total of 86,093,443 sticks.

That's 43,046,722 planks, or 10,761,681 logs.

The average oak tree in vanilla has 6 logs.
That's 1,793,614 average trees.

On average a tree takes 20 seconds to grow.
That means if you were to grow and cut down the trees one by one until you had enough for this sword, it would take 35,872,270 seconds.
That's 597,871 minutes, 9,965 hours, 415 days, or 1.14 years.

Have fun!
