Talk:Sword

Damage figures are incorrect
The chart says that a wood and stone sword do the same damage (2 hearts). This is incorrect as a stone sword will kill a pig or cow in two hits, whereas a wood sword takes three. -- KarlF12 02:40, 31 January 2011 (UTC)


 * (Revision): You're right about the damage, so I'm changing it to match with the Weapons page. Also, I think that we should just move all the information about damage to the weapons page and put other information, such as durability and the blocks it can destroy quicker, on this page.

Accounting for number of kills
I'm adding a row to account for the approximate number of mobs you can kill with the weapon (based on the durability divided by the hits per kill). I'm doing this to show that the amount of use you get out of each sword type increases exponentially as you move to better materials.

Not a stub
Is has a good amount of content. Why is it a stub? MrWii 23:48, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It lacks trivia, interwiki, references, and is rather concise to be considered a full article. Darkid 01:06, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure! I've got one: The sword gives you the upper hand when battling pigs... Theres not much else to add, its a sword ffs not that hard to understand. --Tellan 20:17, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I totally agree with MrWii and Tellan, this page should not be marked as a stub. Bigbauss 12:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Attacking while falling

Does anyone know how this works, exactly? (Does a higher fall increase the damage? How high is this bonus?) Streak 02:17, 1 June 2011 (UTC)


 * In 1.8 pre-release, it seems to double damage. However, a diamond sword still can't kill an aggressive mob in one hit. Father  Toast  13:41, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Its a bonus 50% --HexZyle 08:06, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Speeds
Cam anyone give a list of all the speeds for destroying special sword blocks like the lists on the other tools pages? Thanks. -- Assisstion 17:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
