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>
