Pressing {{MC/Control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's durability decreases by 1.


Attacking a [[Minecraft:boat]] or a [[Minecraft:minecart]] with a sword of stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{in|je}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.

If the player is on the ground standing, is not performing a [[Minecraft:sprint-knockback attack]], and their attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above, the sword performs a [[Minecraft:Melee attack#Sweep attack|sweep attack]]. Sweep attacks are indicated by a gale [[Minecraft:particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back. All enemies within a 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected by the sweep. Sweep attacks play a unique sound effect, and the amount of knockback inflicted by them is 80% of the base knockback. The [[Minecraft:Sweeping Edge]] enchantment increases the sweep attack's damage to surrounding entities from a set {{hp|1}} to 50% of the sword's base damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III. If the sword is enchanted, the enchantments are carried over into the sweep to apply to surrounding mobs.

A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks faster. In most cases, the base mining speed of these blocks is multiplied by 1.5, effectively reducing the time it takes to destroy them with bare hands by {{frac|1|3}}. Swords break cobwebs much faster than bare hands and they break bamboo instantly. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, even though the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>

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

A sword can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding units of the [[Minecraft:tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the sword's maximum durability, rounded down. Two swords of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the sword's [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

Additionally, do not add any information that reflects changes about the general combat mechanics, such as most of the changes in the Combat Tests, except for the ones that specifically changes swords, such as attack speed/reach/damage changes. A second exception is sweep attack mechanic changes, because Sweep attack redirects here, so the History section should have information about it. -->

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox item

A sword is a tiered melee Minecraft:weapon that can be swung to deal damage, and can break blocks such as cobwebs and Minecraft:bamboo more quickly.

Variants

There are seven sword variants:

Obtaining

{{#vardefine:params|7 }}Template:Hatnote

Crafting

All swords except netherite are crafted using a stick and two of the tier's material.

Template:Crafting

Smithing

Script error: No such module "Smithing".

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Usage

Attacking

Pressing {{#vardefine: control | left click on mouse or right trigger on gamepad }}attack while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's durability decreases by 1.

Attacking a Minecraft:boat or a Minecraft:minecart with a sword of stone tier or higher instantly destroys it in Template:Editions, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.

Sweep attack

File:Sword sweep attack.gif
Performing a sweep attack with a sword.

Script error: No such module "Exclusive". If the player is on the ground standing, is not performing a sprint-knockback attack, and their attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above, the sword performs a sweep attack. Sweep attacks are indicated by a gale particle that reaches nearby enemies for Template:Hp and knocks them back. All enemies within a 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected by the sweep. Sweep attacks play a unique sound effect, and the amount of knockback inflicted by them is 80% of the base knockback. The Sweeping Edge enchantment increases the sweep attack's damage to surrounding entities from a set Template:Hp to 50% of the sword's base damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III. If the sword is enchanted, the enchantments are carried over into the sweep to apply to surrounding mobs.

Statistics

Java Edition

in Template:Editions, swords have an attack speed of 1.6 (0.625 seconds), and have the following statistics:

Breaking

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks faster. In most cases, the base mining speed of these blocks is multiplied by 1.5, effectively reducing the time it takes to destroy them with bare hands by Template:Frac. Swords break cobwebs much faster than bare hands and they break bamboo instantly. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, even though the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

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

The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:

A sword can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the sword's maximum durability, rounded down. Two swords of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the sword's enchantments.

Trivia

  • The sword's traditional texture came from Notch's abandoned RPG, Legend of the Chambered. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
  • In Java Edition, with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead Minecraft:mobs in the game (except Minecraft:withers and Minecraft:zombies/skeletons with random armor) using a sword with the Smite V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a Smite V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
  • Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official Minecraft merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
  • In the game Transformice, a diamond sword can be found in the shop.
