Minecraft blocks and combat inside Half Sword
Halfcraft runs Minecraft alongside Half Sword. Minecraft blocks become physical obstacles for Half Sword fighters, while mobs and fighters can attack each other. The author also connects boats, minecarts, bows, shields, potions, fire and knockback across the games. Release 1.4 was published on October 13, 2026. This older release was added to the catalog on October 20 after an earlier candidate review.
What you need
Windows, Half Sword Early Access 0.6.1.5, a dedicated Minecraft 26.3 Fabric instance, Fabric API for Minecraft 26.3, and ReShade with full add-on support. Both games run together, so the author says the computer must be able to run both.
How to get started
- Download HalfCraft-beta.zip from the author’s release and read its included instructions.
- Add Fabric API and passthrough-0.1.0.jar to the dedicated Minecraft 26.3 instance.
- Install ReShade with full add-on support for Half Sword, then copy the author’s add-on and shader files to the documented Half Sword folders.
- Start Minecraft first and keep it visible. Start Half Sword, enable MCPassthrough in ReShade, then choose a fight.
Was this made with AI?
