Swords

Swords in Mine Blocks are available in 5 different types: wooden, stone, iron, golden, and diamond - each of which have different durability and lethality. To use a sword, simply click in the direction of a mob (in reach). The mob will take damage if hit and the sword will have increased damage.

Obtaining

Natural Generation

A stone sword can be found in 21.8% of loot chests with 50-100 damage to durability.

Crafting

To create any sword put a stick or bamboo in the bottom row of the crafting section then put two wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots, or diamonds above the stick.

Repairing

Two swords of the same material can be combined in the crafting grid to combine their durability. This can also be done through use of the anvil, to preserve enchantments.

Usage

Attacking

The sword can be used to attack mobs or entities by left-clicking with the cursor on them.

Damage

The base damage is used to calculate the total damage considering potion effects, enchantments, and making a critical hit. However, the damage dealt is always rounded down, so for an unenchanted sword hit which is not critical the damage dealt would be the base damage rounded down.

The durability (amount of uses until the tool breaks) for swords is calculated just like the rest of the tools.

Type	Durability (uses)	Base Damage
Wooden	60	3
Stone	132	4
Iron	251	5.5
Golden	30	4.5
Diamond	1562	7
