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

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

Mining

Swords can be used to break lemon blocks and webs more quickly.

Damage

The durability (amount of uses until the tool breaks) for swords is calculated just like the rest of the tools. The following table shows the durability for the 5 different types of swords:

Type:	Durability (uses)
Wooden	60
Stone	132
Iron	251
Golden	30
Diamond	1562

Tips

• Golden swords are as powerful as diamond swords, but have less durability
