'''Attribute swapping'''<ref name="26.2pre3">{{Mcnet|minecraft-26-2-pre-release-3|Minecraft 26.2 Pre-Release 3|June 2, 2026}}</ref> is the action of quickly changing from one tool to another to use the latter while preserving attributes and enchantments of the former for a single game tick. This technique is often used to quickly mine blocks or in [[Minecraft:Combat|PvP]].

== Usage ==
{{info needed section|A full list of what specifically gets transferred}}
If a [[Minecraft:player]] switches to a different item in the [[Minecraft:hotbar]] and presses {{ctrl|attack}}{{info needed|does this apply to use (right click) as well?}} within the same {{convert|1|gt|s}}, some of the attributes from the first item gets transferred, while retaining some other statistics of the second item. Transferred statistics include [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s, while kept statistics includee [[Minecraft:attribute]]s.
