Swords in Mine Blocks are available in 5 different types: wooden, stone, iron, golden, and diamond - each of which have different durability and damage. 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.

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 ( × 2.75)
Golden	30	4.5 ( × 2.25)
Diamond	1562	7 ()
