Template:Stub Template:Exclusive Template:Partially conjecture Template:Uses bug Attribute swapping<ref name="26.2pre3">Template:Mcnet</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 PvP.
Usage
Template:Info needed section Attribute swapping is performed by switching to a different Minecraft:hotbar Minecraft:item and Minecraft:attacking within the same Minecraft:tick (0.05 seconds). Because the timing window is only one game Minecraft:tick, consistently performing the technique manually is difficult. Players typically use Minecraft:keybinds to switch fast between Minecraft:items, although it can also be performed with the scroll wheel. However, scroll wheel input is generally much less consistent due to its lower precision.
Depending on the Minecraft:items used, the game may temporarily combine Minecraft:enchantments from the previously held Minecraft:item with attributes from the currently held item for the attack or block break performed during that tick. After the Minecraft:tick has passed, the currently held Minecraft:item behaves normally.
Attribute swapping is mainly used to benefit from the enchantments of one item while using the attributes of another.
Attribute swapping has a variety of applications. Some examples include:
- Cooldown swapping, which uses the attack cooldown of one item, such as a sword, an empty hand or any item with a small or smaller cooldown, while retaining the damage and special abilities of another item, such as an Minecraft:axe, Minecraft:mace, or Minecraft:spear. This allows slower weapons to be used more frequently than normally intended.
- This is commonly used for sword-to-axe swapping, which combines a sword's faster cooldown with an axe's higher attack damage and ability to disable shields.
- Breach swapping and density swapping, which combine the enchantments and effects of a Minecraft:mace enchanted with Minecraft:Breach or Minecraft:Density with another weapon (Breach swapping can kill a player with a full Protection IV Netherite armor set).
- Lunge swapping and reach swapping; lunge swapping uses a spear's Minecraft:Lunge enchantment while bypassing its normal attack cooldown, and reach swapping combines a spear's increased attack reach with the damage or abilities of another weapon.
Attribute swapping can also transfer enchantments such as Minecraft:Sharpness and Minecraft:Fire Aspect to weapons that cannot normally possess them, allowing them to benefit from these enchantments for a single attack. In some cases, it can also be used to preserve the durability of certain items by causing durability loss to be applied to a different item.
