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 (♥♥♥♥)

Mining

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

  • Fire Aspect

Fuel
