About the Diamond Sword

The Diamond Sword is a strong melee weapon and a big step up from iron. It hits hard, attacks at a decent speed, and lasts for many fights before it needs repair. It is the best sword you can craft before moving on to Netherite.

Key facts:

  • Deals 7 melee damage in Java Edition.
  • Has 1,561 durability.
  • Works with most sword enchantments, including Sharpness, Fire Aspect, and Looting.

It is a reliable choice for caving, exploring, and defending your base.

How to get the Diamond Sword

The usual way to get one is to craft it. You need two diamonds and a stick. In a crafting table, place the stick in the bottom middle slot, one diamond above it, and the second diamond in the top middle slot. You can also find Diamond Swords in rare treasure chests in the End, but crafting is the simplest route.
