Minecraft swords: tiers, sweep attacks and other uses

The sword is the basic melee weapon. There are seven: wooden, golden, stone, copper, iron, diamond and netherite. All but netherite are crafted from a stick and two units of the material, and the netherite one comes from upgrading a diamond sword at a smithing table.

In Java it has its own move, the sweep attack. If you are on the ground, not sprinting and your attack is charged to at least 84.8%, it hits the target and also damages and knocks back enemies right next to it. The Sweeping Edge enchantment raises that damage. Each hit on a mob costs 1 durability.

It doubles as a tool. It cuts cobwebs far faster than a bare hand and breaks bamboo instantly, though breaking blocks that are not instant costs 2 durability. In Java, a stone sword or better destroys a boat or minecart in one hit. In Creative, on the other hand, it cannot break blocks.

It is repaired at an anvil with its material, 25% durability per unit, or by combining two swords of the same tier, and both ways keep the enchantments. Its texture comes from Legend of the Chambered, a game Notch abandoned.
