Minecraft:Wooden Sword

Template:For Template:Redirect Template:Infobox item A wooden sword is an early-game variant of Minecraft:sword crafted from Minecraft:planks. It is the sixth-highest Minecraft:tier of sword, dealing the same damage as a Minecraft:golden sword but having more durability. It can be used as Minecraft:fuel in a Minecraft:furnace, Minecraft:smoker, or Minecraft:blast furnace.

Obtaining

Wooden swords are crafted with two Minecraft:planks of any kind and one Minecraft:stick.

Usage

Attacking

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

Attacking a Minecraft:boat or a Minecraft:minecart with a wooden sword requires 2 hits in Template:In, without decreasing the wooden sword's durability.

Sweep attack

Template:Exclusive If the player is grounded, is not performing a Minecraft:sprint-knockback attack, and has an attack charge of 84.8% or above, the wooden sword performs a sweep attack. Sweep attacks are indicated by a gale Minecraft: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 Minecraft:Sweeping Edge enchantment increases the sweep attack's damage to surrounding entities from a set Template:Hp to 50% of the wooden sword's base damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III. If the wooden sword is enchanted, the enchantments are carried over into the sweep to apply to surrounding mobs.

Breaking

A wooden 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. Wooden swords break cobwebs much faster than bare hands and they break bamboo instantly. Using a wooden sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, even though the wooden sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

If a wooden 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.

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

Creative mode

In Creative mode, wooden 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

Anvil repair

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

History

Trivia

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