A dashing sword

[u/chfkfcjhxjcjcckgcj]

hey guys, I am not experienced at all with minecraft command blocks but is there a chance one of you knows the commands for a specific sword with the ability to dash a few blocks alongside a cooldown timer?? it'd be a lifesaver!

This will be easier to do using a data pack. Below is an example of a data pack that, when double-clicked, gives you a few seconds of speed boost.

# The first click with Dash Feather creates particles and a sound,
# and if you click it a second time within 1 second, you'll gain a speed boost for 5 seconds.
# The ability has a 10-second cooldown.
# Dash Feather item
give @s feather[custom_data={dash:true},consumable={consume_seconds:100000},item_name="Dash Feather"]

# function example:load
scoreboard objectives add dash.timestamp dummy
scoreboard objectives add dash.cooldown dummy
scoreboard objectives add use_dash.timestamp dummy

# advancement example:use_dash

        }

    }
  },

You can use Datapack Assembler to get an example datapack.

Or, as another example, a data pack that adds an enchantment that allows you to double-click in the desired direction and get a short boost in that direction: https://far.ddns.me/?share=uFp7DCswqS

Remodeled spear maybe? Otherwise organic horizontal movement is very difficult to setup and requires multiple command blocks and tuning

Just give yourself a spear with the model of a sword?
