Sword

A sword is a tiered melee weapon that can be swung to deal damage, can perform a sweep attack‌[Java Edition only] and can break blocks such as cobwebs, leaves and bamboo more quickly.

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

Pressing 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.
