Clythez's Tech Mod: Energized Blades

Energized blades are powered weapons that are part of Clythez's Tech Mod. Their respective guidebook entry states that they circulate energy around their blade to boost damage and provide a powerful strike

There are two Energized blades, the Energized Clyote Blade and the Exanite Clyote Blade. Each of them have their own different properties.

They are enchantable, like the other basic tools in the mod

## Energized Clyote Blade

the energized Clyote blade is an energy blade that supports a white handle with a blue screen in the middle of it, a white blade and a blue glow at the edges of the blade.

It can store up to 1000 energy and deals 10 damage, and uses 5 energy per hit, meaning that it can score 200 hits before running out of energy. Once it runs out of energy, its damage will drastically decrease.

the blade can be charged by standing near a gear charger, or using an energy linker on a battery.

obtaining or crafting the blade will grant the player the achievement: "Now I have the high ground" which is a reference to the Sci-Fi Movie Franchise: Star Wars.

## Energized Clyote Blade: Crafting Process

The Clyote Blade is one of the first item to have a complex crafting recipe, its crafting process can be found in Your Guide to Clyote Machines

Its first step is crafting the battery and handle of the blade. The battery will require two roseium nuggets (which can be crafted by putting a roseium ingot into a crafting grid), two iron ingots, and one Clyote alloy ingot.

The blade handle shell can be crafted by putting 5 iron nuggets in a reversed "C" formation on the crafting grid. The guidebook doesn't mention that you need to craft two handle shells, but you'll need two handle shells.

the next step in crafting the blade is combining the battery and the handle shells together. You'll also need a stone button and an extra iron nugget.

   The handle shells go to the left and right side of the crafting grid, the battery is in the middle, the nugget is below the blade, and the stone button goes above it.

the final step is adding the blade to the handle, this can be done by adding two iron ingots above the blade in a diagonal angle

the blade will start out with zero energy, it can be charged by standing nearby a gear charger. The last page of the item's guidebook entry contains a button that directs you to the gear charger.

## Energized Exanite Blade

the energized exanite blade is the stronger variant of the energized clyote blade. it supports a black handle with a green screen at the middle of it, and a white blade with a green glow at the edge of the blade.

The blade can store up to 10,000 energy and deals 15 damage, and uses 5 energy per hit, meaning that the sword can sustain 2,000 hits before running out of energy. Like its Clyote counterpart, its damage drastically decreases once it runs out of energy.

the blade can be charged by standing near a gear charger, or using an energy linker on a battery.

Obtaining or crafting the blade will grant the player the advancement "an elegant weapon", which is a reference to the quote said by Obi-wan Kenobi

> "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age"

## Energized Exanite Blade: Crafting Process

The Exanite Blade has a similar Crafting Process to its Clyote Counterpart, but with a few extra steps added.

the first step to crafting the blade is by crafting the handle. it requires 5 iron ingots in a reversed "C" formation and a roseium nugget in the middle. Unlike the Clyote guidebook, the exanite one actually mentions that you'll need to 2.

the second step is to craft the blade's battery, which will require an exanite core, four iron ingots, two clyote ingots and two clyote gear batteries

the handle is crafted by putting the exanite gear battery in the middle, 2 exanite blade shells at the left and right grid, an iron ingot at the bottom grid, and a polished blackstone button on the top grid. the blade can be completed by adding two Clyote Alloy ingots in a diagonal formation above the exanite blade handle.

## Trivia

* the parts for both the clyote and exanite energized blades used to have the word "shell" plastered all over the place.
* their achievements reference star wars because the maker thought it was funny
* the weapons use durability as an "energy meter" as they don't store energy but converts energy into an nbt value
