Minecraft:Stone Sword

Template:For Template:Infobox item A stone sword is a variant of Minecraft:sword crafted from Minecraft:cobblestone, Minecraft:blackstone, or Minecraft:cobbled deepslate. It is the fifth-highest Minecraft:tier of sword, dealing the same damage as a Minecraft:copper sword but having less durability.

Obtaining

Crafting

Stone swords are crafted with a Minecraft:stick and any combination of two Minecraft:cobblestone, Minecraft:blackstone, or Minecraft:cobbled deepslate (i.e. 2 cobblestone, or 1 blackstone + 1 cobbled deepslate, etc.).

Mob loot

Wither skeletons can spawn with a stone sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of Minecraft:Looting, up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged.

Usage

Breaking

Template:Main A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes Minecraft:bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

If a sword is enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, either using Minecraft:Creative or Minecraft:commands, Minecraft:cobwebs hit by the sword drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual Minecraft:string, because a sword is classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.

Attacking

Pressing Template:Control while holding a stone sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the stone sword's Minecraft:durability decreases by 1.

Attacking a Minecraft:boat or a Minecraft:minecart with a stone sword instantly destroys it Template:Only, without decreasing the sword's durability.

Template:IN, stone swords deal Template:Hp base damage, have an attack speed of 1.6 and take Template:Convert to recover.

Template:IN, stone swords have no attack cooldown or sweep attack, and deal Template:Hp base damage.

The damage that a stone sword enchanted with Minecraft:Sharpness V does on a non-critical hit is 8 Template:In and 12.25 Template:In.

Creative mode

In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, they can still break placed entities such as Minecraft:minecarts, Minecraft:paintings, Minecraft:item frames,Template:Only and Minecraft:armor stands.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Repairing

Combining

Template:Crafting Template:Grinding Two stone swords can be combined in an anvil. This preserves all enchantments on the sword, unlike using a crafting table or grindstone.

Anvil repair

Template:Main Template:Repairing A stone sword can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by using cobblestone, blackstone or cobbled deepslate as the 2nd ingredient. Each material restores 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down. Using an anvil to repair leaves all of the sword's enchantments on it.

History

Trivia

• The sword's traditional Minecraft:texture came from Minecraft:Notch's abandoned RPG, Minecraft:Legend of the Chambered. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords, including stone swords, followed.
