Mostly just me rambling about the game, but I hope you can get something out of this. Originally ran for an hour long, but I edited it down to just 38 minutes :) Anyway, this is a guide for 1.7 sword towers intended for pre 1.9 runners and beginners. I know that the meta has shifted to fall towers recently, but this tower is always a fun one to do and can still get world record with good luck.

Additional Information/Resources:
- The original concept of sword towers was invented by Cscuile. Check him out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Cscuile
- For an indepth explanation of why ledge is useful, check out T_Wag's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzxaxeLwMBk
- More accurate explanation of why ladders don't work after falling from specific heights: "it checks every tick for a ladder but you fall multiple blocks per tick at high speed so you can skip a ladder between ticks" (Toby).
- World Record Tower (WRT) was the original name designated to this design by Cscuile, but the term sword tower has fallen into use more commonly nowadays
- This video by Thomas (https://youtu.be/glVXDr_Ck9s) used to be the go to tower strats guide, but has since become a little outdated so that is why I decided to make this video as an update to the information on that one. The video does include a nice chart of the resources needed to build the tower, so that is a useful piece of information to check.
- I only mentioned one variant of crit tower because I don't really know much about them, so keep in mind there are other versions of the tower. I may even link some once someone builds them in video format.
