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)


 * You're right. I remember that a stone sword kills an agressive mob (zombie, skeleton, creeper, spider, all have 10 hearts) in four hits. If a zombie has ten hearts, then it does either 2.5 or 3 hearts of damage. Iron swords, however, kill an agressive mob in three hits, so either the mob hitpoints are wrong or the iron sword value is also wrong. This means that either the sword does 3.5 or 4 hearts of damage, but 4 seems unlikely. In any case, the diamond sword damage seems to be correct, as it kills passive mobs in one hit and agressive mobs in two hits. However, that could still mean it damages mobs for more than 5 hearts.


 * I'll have to do some experimenting on this. LTK 70 12:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
