About Golden Sword
The Golden Sword is a melee weapon made from gold. It deals the same base damage as a wooden sword, but its durability is much lower, so it breaks quickly by sword standards. Its main appeal is enchanting: gold weapons accept enchantments more readily than most other materials.
Key facts:
- Base attack damage: 4
- Durability: 33
- Very high enchantability
- Poor choice for long trips without repairs
How to get Golden Sword
You can craft a Golden Sword with two gold ingots and a stick, arranged like any sword. It also rarely drops from zombified piglins that spawn holding one, mostly in the Nether. Crafting is the more reliable option, since the drops are uncommon and the sword may already be damaged.
