Template:For Template:Infobox item An iron sword is a variant of Minecraft:sword crafted from Minecraft:iron ingots. It is the third-highest Minecraft:tier of sword, dealing more damage and having more durability than stone and copper swords.
Obtaining
Mob loot
Template:Main A Minecraft:vex never drops its iron sword, because its main hand's Template:Cd value is Template:Cd. This is not affected by the Looting enchantment.
Template:IN, Minecraft:pillagers and Minecraft:vindicators that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (or a 5.12% chance on Hard difficulty) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.Template:Needs testing
In both editions, Minecraft:zombies, Minecraft:zombie villagers, and Minecraft:husks have a random chance to spawn with an iron sword. The zombie has an 8.5% chance to drop the sword; this chance is also affected by Looting, with each level increasing the chance by 1% (11.5% with Looting III).
Generated loot
Crafting
An iron sword is crafted using 1 Minecraft:stick and 2 Minecraft:iron ingots.
Trading
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 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, cobwebs the sword destroys drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.
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>
Attacking
An iron sword is used to deal Minecraft:damage to mobs and entities by Template:Control them. The iron sword has Template:Hp base damage Template:In and Template:Hp base damage Template:In, and can be enchanted to deal more damage. The following tables show how the Minecraft:Sharpness enchantment affects the damage dealt by the sword.
Extra damage of Sharpness enchantment
| Edition | I | II | III | IV | V |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Template:JE | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp |
| Template:BE | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp |
Total damage of sword with Sharpness
The tables below assume that the attack is fully chargedTemplate:Only, the target is not wearing armor, and neither the attacker nor the target has any effects.
Java Edition
| Attack type | Base damage | Sharpness I | Sharpness II | Sharpness III | Sharpness IV | Sharpness V |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp |
| Critical | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp | Template:Hp |

Repairing
Combining
Template:Crafting Template:Grinding
Anvil repair
Template:Main Template:Repairing
An iron sword can be repaired in an Minecraft:anvil by adding Minecraft:iron ingots, with each repair material restoring 25% the sword's maximum durability, rounded down. Two iron swords can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the sword's Minecraft:enchantments.
Enchantments
An iron sword can receive the following Minecraft:enchantments:
| Name | Description | Max level | Method | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minecraft:Sharpness<ref group=note name=note1>Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods are mutually exclusive.</ref> | Increases the damage dealt. | V | Template:BlockLink Template:BlockLink |
10 |
| Minecraft:Smite<ref group=note name=note1/> | Increases the damage dealt to Minecraft:undead. | V | Template:BlockLink Template:BlockLink |
5 |
| Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods<ref group="note" name=note1/> | Increases the damage dealt to Minecraft:arthropods. | V | Template:BlockLink Template:BlockLink |

2 |
| Minecraft:Knockback | Increases the knockback dealt. | II | Template:BlockLink Template:BlockLink |
5 |
| Minecraft:Fire Aspect | Ignites any targets hit by the sword. Template:IN, it also lights unlit Minecraft:candles, Minecraft:campfires, and blocks of TNT when used. | II | Template:BlockLink Template:BlockLink |
2 |
| Minecraft:Sweeping EdgeTemplate:Only | Increases the sweeping damage dealt. | III | Template:BlockLink Template:BlockLink |

| Minecraft:Curse of Vanishing | The sword vanishes on death, not dropping as an item. | I | Template:BlockLink | 1 |
Smelting ingredient
An iron sword can be smelted into an iron nugget using a Minecraft:furnace or Minecraft:blast furnace. Template:Smelting
Sounds
Template:Main Iron swords make a sound when used to attack an Minecraft:entity. The sound depends on how the attack is landed. Their sounds are shared with other types of swords.
