Hange's Energy Blades
Special Thanks
Silverfeelin and Reno_fezzed_one for helping me with getting started modding, pointing me to useful tools, and assisting with troubleshooting.
Inf_Wolf14 for helping me with two critical portions of the mod - explaining why the blades weren't rendering in the animation and why the abilities weren't appearing on the weapons.
About The Mod
What started as a learning exercise flourished into what you see before you. This mod adds 4 new, differently colored energy broadswords - one for each of the end-game ores - that feature extending blades, their own particles, and a fancy flipping slash. It's working as intended on the current stable version of the game!
Because they aren't yet craftable, do /admin and then /spawnitem <itemName> 1 to get them. Depending on the color you want, the item names are aeblade, feblade, seblade, or veblade for aegisalt, ferozium, solarium, and violium respectively. Do keep in mind that /admin is the game's godmode, of sorts, so re-enter the command to turn it off and resume normal gameplay!

For those who think just one laser broadsword isn't enough.
