Diamond Sword
Diamond Sword supports durable melee combat, dungeon clearing, Nether progression, enchantment scaling, and upgrading later into a Netherite Sword.
Description
Use Diamond Sword with a clear role in your kit. Keep Diamond Sword near the resources, mobs, or travel route where its function matters, then combine it with the right supporting items before long trips or dangerous fights. It is expensive before a diamond supply is stable, so repairing and enchanting should be planned carefully. This makes Diamond Sword a practical choice for players who want fewer wasted inventory slots, cleaner preparation, and safer execution during real survival play.

Guide
How to use Diamond Sword in Minecraft
-
1
Get the item
Crafted from two diamonds and one stick.
-
2
Know the numbers
The diamond sword deals 7 damage per hit at attack speed 1.6 and lasts 1561 uses — twice the durability of an iron sword and one point more damage.
-
3
Enchant it
Apply Sharpness V, Looting III or Unbreaking III at an enchanting table. Sharpness, Smite and Bane of Arthropods are mutually exclusive: pick one damage enchantment for the mobs you actually fight.

Check the limitation
It is expensive before a diamond supply is stable, so repairing and enchanting should be planned carefully.
Wait for the attack bar to refill before swinging: a fully charged hit lands the sweep attack that damages every mob within 3 blocks, and a spammed one does not.
