Pointed dripstone is a block that makes up stalactites and stalagmites.

Obtaining

Pointed dripstone can be found in dripstone caves, which can generate using only the buffet or custom world type.

Breaking

Pointed dripstone can be mined with any tool, but pickaxes are the quickest. In Java Edition, Pointed dripstone breaks instantly when a trident is thrown at it.

Usage

Pointed dripstone comes in two different forms, stalactites and stalagmites. Placing a pointed dripstone between a stalagmite and stalactite without sneaking connects them. It can be waterlogged.

Stalactites

Stalactite

A stalactite.

Stalactites are created when pointed dripstone is placed on the bottom of a block.

When the uppermost block of a stalactite less than 11 blocks tall gets randomly ticked, it checks for a water source or waterlogged block two blocks above it and a cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with no non-air blocks in between. If both conditions are satisfied, there is a 45256 (~17.6%) chance for it to drip water and fill the cauldron by one level. If there is a lava source above the stalactite, there is a 15256 (~5.9%) chance for it to completely fill an empty cauldron with lava instead, making lava a renewable resource.

Stalactites less than 11 blocks tall passively drip water particles (or lava particles in the Nether) in the absence of a liquid source, but these particles do not fill cauldrons. A waterlogged dripstone at the tip of a stalactite does not produce drip particles or fill a cauldron. Waterlogging other parts of the stalactite doesn't affect the dripping.

If the block supporting a stalactite or any block of the stalactite is broken, all of the unsupported pointed dripstone below the broken block drops, causing damage to any player and mobs standing beneath it, similar to a falling anvil. The amount of damage is 2♥ for each block of falling distance after 2 blocks. Stalactites with multiple pointed dripstone cause multiple damage, however, damage immunity prevents most of the additional blocks to cause damage.

Stalagmites

Stalagmite

A stalagmite.

Stalagmites are created when pointed dripstone is placed on the ground.

Falling onto stalagmites multiplies the fall distance by four to calculate the total amount of fall damage, using the formula roundup(fall_distance × 4 − 3). Note that the distance travelled during last game tick of falling time is not included in this calculation, making it slightly off at higher distances; see Damage § Fall damage for more information.

All mobs that are immune to fall damage do not take damage from falling into stalagmites, the same applies to the player if the game rule fallDamage is set to false.[1]

A '''minecart with TNT''' is a block of [[TNT]] inside a [[minecart]]. Unlike normal TNT it can detonate instantly under certain conditions and its damage and blast radius is increased by its speed when it detonates.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
|Output= Minecart with TNT
|type= Transportation
|TNT|Minecart}}
Minecarts with TNT can be retrieved by attacking them, and by doing so it drops as an [[item]].

== Usage ==
[[File:TNT minecart and powered activator rail.png|thumb|right|When the TNT minecart passes over the powered activator rail, it explodes after four seconds.]]
[[File:Simple TNT minecart detonator setup.png|thumb|right|Placing two TNT minecarts on the rail and powering it (here, by flicking the lever) creates an instant explosion.]]
[[File:TNT minecart roof trap.png|thumb|right|Destroying the gold block causes the TNT minecart to fall down and instantly explode.]]

A minecart with TNT detonates after a delay on these conditions:
* It moves over a powered [[activator rail]].
* It is destroyed while in motion (except by a player in Creative mode).
* It is destroyed by fire, lava, or an explosion.
*{{IN|java}}, it is hit by a [[fire charge]].

The delay is {{convert|4|seconds|ticks}} for an activator rail, like the TNT block. For other causes there is a random delay between 0 and 1.9 seconds, but more likely to be close to 1.

It detonates instantly on these conditions:

* It hits the ground with a downward velocity of it falling more than three blocks, unless landing on any form of rail.
* It turns on a curved track too fast, with a solid block or entity located beside the track (in the previous movement direction).
* It is hit by a flaming arrow.
* It is pressed into a block or entity and has velocity.

Upon detonation it acts as normal TNT, [[exploding]] and damaging nearby blocks, players, and entities. Upon detonation after activating on activator rail, it does not destroy its rails and the blocks the rail is on, however other nearby carts can.{{only|java}} More than one minecart can be placed on the same rail block, allowing many of them to fit into a single block. They explode when touched, dealing large amounts of damage.

The explosion has a base [[Explosion#Explosion strength|power]] of 4, the same as regular TNT, but the game also adds a random bonus value up to 1.5 times velocity, but no higher than 7.5. This means that with a speed of 5 or higher the power will be a random value between 4 and 11.5. When triggered by an activator rail or by damage, the bonus value is calculated using the horizontal velocity of the minecart. When hit by a flaming arrow the velocity of the arrow is used instead. When triggered by fall damage, the fall distance divided by 10 is used.

Minecarts with TNT bounce off of other minecarts and cannot be linked to [[minecarts with furnace]]s.

An '''arrow''' serves as ammunition for [[bow]]s, [[crossbow]]s, and [[dispenser]]s. Arrows can be modified to give [[status effects]] to [[player]]s and [[mob]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Picking up arrows ===

Arrows shot by players can always be [[#Retrieving|picked up]] in Creative mode.

An arrow ''cannot'' be picked up by a player in [[Survival]] or [[Adventure]] mode if:
* It is shot by a player in [[Creative]] mode.
* It is shot by any [[mob]] able to shoot arrows, such as [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[pillager]]s, or [[piglin]]s. This includes mobs that do not shoot arrows in normal gameplay, such as [[illusioner]]s and bow-wielding [[wither skeleton]]s.
** This is the case even in Creative mode.<ref>{{bug|MC-128845|||WAI}}</ref>
* It is shot with an [[Infinity]]-enchanted [[bow]].
* It is one of the two extra arrows shot with a [[Multishot]]-enchanted [[crossbow]].

=== Mob loot ===

[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s drop 0-2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 arrows with Looting III.

Strays have a 50% chance of dropping 1 arrow of [[Slowness]] when killed by a player. Each level of Looting increases the chance of this drop by 50% of the previous chance. This results in a maximum of 93.75% with Looting III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[pillager]]s also drop 0–2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 arrows with Looting III.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level fletcher [[villager]]s have a 50% chance {{in|bedrock}}, or a {{frac|2|3}} chance {{in|java}}, to sell 16 arrows for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|bedrock}}, master-level fletcher villagers have a {{frac|1|2}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows. {{IN|java}}, they have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows.  Trades {{in|java}} can be the base effect, level II, or extended; {{in|bedrock}}, only the arrow of decay is level II.<!-- A check should be made if it chooses randomly from the whole of the list of possible arrows variants, or it it chooses a base arrow potion effect, then randomly choose from that arrow's options. The first one would make arrow's without a level II, like Fire Resistance for example, slightly less likely than ones with all three options like Swiftness.  -->

<!-- None are extended duration, but villagers can trade level 2 arrows. -->
* Arrow of [[Fire Resistance]]
* Arrow of [[Harming]]
* Arrow of [[Healing]]
* Arrow of [[Invisibility]]
* Arrow of [[Leaping]]
* Arrow of [[Night Vision]]
* Arrow of [[Poison]]
* Arrow of [[Regeneration]]
* Arrow of [[Slowness]]
* Arrow of [[Strength]]
* Arrow of [[Swiftness]]
* Arrow of the [[Potion of the Turtle Master|Turtle Master]]
* Arrow of [[Water Breathing]]
* Arrow of [[Weakness]]
* Arrow of [[Slow Falling]]{{only|java}}<!-- bedrock fletchers never sell arrows of slow falling -->
* Arrow of [[Decay]]{{only|bedrock}}

These are all potion effects except Slow Falling {{in|bedrock}} and [[Luck]] {{in|java}}. Trading is the only legitimate way to obtain arrows of Decay in [[Survival]] mode.

=== Bartering ===

Spectral arrows{{only|java}}/normal arrows{{only|bedrock}} can be obtained through [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s, and have a ~8.71% chance to give the [[player]] 6-12 arrows.

=== Villager gifts ===
{{IN|java}}, any regular or tipped arrow (except for [[luck]] and [[Bad Luck]] arrows) can be obtained as a reward item from [[fletcher]] [[villager]]s when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.

{{LootChestItem|spectral-arrow}}

=== Retrieving ===

Arrows stuck in a block that were originally shot by dispensers or by players in [[Survival]] without the [[Infinity]] enchantment may be collected. Arrows originally shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[illusioner]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[piglin]]s, players in [[Creative]], players using the [[Infinity]] enchantment, or duplicate arrows created by [[Crossbow]]s with the [[Multishot]] enchantment cannot be collected. Arrows cannot be retrieved when they are stuck in a player or mob, and players or mobs do not drop them when killed. Retrievable arrows have a despawn timer of 60 seconds.

=== Cauldrons ===
{{main|Cauldron#Potions}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, tipped arrows can also be obtained by using arrows on [[Cauldron#Potions|cauldrons]] that contain [[potion]]s. The number of tipped arrows created depends on the potion inside the cauldron. When the cauldron is {{frac|1|3}} full, 16 arrows can be tipped. When the cauldron is {{frac|2|3}} full, up to 32 arrows can be tipped and when the cauldron is full, an entire stack of 64 arrows can be tipped. This is more efficient than using lingering potions as up to 21.33 arrows can be tipped per potion.

== Usage ==
{{see also|Bow}}

When fired, arrows fly in a [[wikipedia:Trajectory of a projectile|ballistic trajectory]] affected by gravity and drag in [[air]], [[water]], and [[lava]]. The arrow's velocity is multiplied by 0.99 every game tick, and it also experiences 20 block/s<sup>2</sup> of downward acceleration induced by gravity.

Arrows travel approximately 3 [[block]]s when fired parallel to a flat plane with no charge, 15 blocks average with medium charge, and 24 blocks average with maximum charge. When fired from a fully charged bow, arrows can travel 120 blocks if fired from an optimal angle. The maximum height an arrow fired by a bow can reach is around 66 blocks.

An arrow fired in water experiences much more drag than in air: it moves less than 8 blocks before completely losing horizontal speed and falling straight down, although the knockback of the arrow remains unaffected. It also leaves a trail of bubbles in its wake.

There is a random variable to the trajectory of an arrow, given by <code>this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.0075 * (double)inaccuracy</code> for the x, y and z coordinate. The inaccuracy is relatively small, becoming noticeable over larger distances. The inaccuracy of different arrow delivery devices may differ. Dispensers fire with an inaccuracy of 6, while bows fire with an inaccuracy of 1.

An arrow's speed determine the damage it inflicts. The damage inflicted is calculated by multiplying the arrow's [[#Entity data|damage value]] with its velocity in blocks per [[Tick#Game tick|game tick]]. When fired from a fully-charged unenchanted bow, arrows do {{hp|6}} of damage, with a smaller chance to damage for up to {{hp|11}} via critical hits. They inflict up to {{hp|5}} damage from a medium-charged bow, and {{hp|1}} from a bow with no charge. Arrows fired from dispensers always do {{hp|3}} of damage unless their velocity is modified by an external source. Arrows fired from [[crossbow]]s do {{hp|6}} to {{hp|11}} of damage.

Arrows trigger [[Damage#Immunity|damage immunity]] on hit. However, unlike other methods of damage that may bypass invulnerability under certain conditions, arrows hitting the mob while it is invulnerable lose all speed and drop to the ground, dealing no damage unless they contact another mob.

[[File:ArrowShotInTree.png|thumb|An arrow shot into a [[tree]].]]
Arrows also stick into objects they come in contact with and remain there for one minute before disappearing; the distance from the object and the angle determine how far into the target the arrow penetrates. Such arrows may be [[#Retrieving|retrieved]].

If the arrow has any custom potion effects (NBT tag <code>CustomPotionEffects</code>), all potion effects, including vanilla potion effects (NBT tag <code>Potion</code>) are removed 30 seconds after the arrow stops moving.

If an arrow is stuck in a block, and that block is broken or disappears (e.g., [[leaves]] upon decay), then the arrow falls straight down and damages entities below, but never deals a critical hit. The 1-minute despawn timer is then refreshed, meaning it will take another minute for the arrow to despawn.

Arrows bounce off players and mobs immune to damage, like a player in Creative mode, a [[wither]] under the "wither armor" effect, and a perching [[ender dragon]].

Arrows shot through [[lava]] or (if there's at least a 2 block gap) [[fire]] catch on fire and show an appropriate animation until they pass through water. Like arrows shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, they can set other entities they hit on fire for 5 seconds as well as ignite TNT and campfires.

An arrow shot at any kind of boat{{only|java|short=1}} or minecart causes the vehicle to break, dropping any components (including container contents).

Arrows can get visually stuck in players {{in|java}}, although not any mobs. They appear as regular arrows regardless of type.<ref>{{bug|MC-83933|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Redstone circuits ===

An arrow can activate a wooden [[button]], wooden [[pressure plate]], a [[tripwire]], or a [[target]]. An arrow will continue to power these blocks until it is removed, either due to despawning, or being picked up. Target blocks emit a redstone pulse for one second, as opposed to the static depressed state of the other switches. Non-wooden switches are not affected by arrows.

When arrows are fired into the sides of blocks, they change their orientation to point more downward than their original flight path might indicate. This can cause them to intersect and thus trigger switches above them that they didn't actually hit, or block rails above them.

=== Explosions ===

Arrows are affected by explosions while they are in flight. Since explosions can increase the speed of an arrow, they can also increase the damage dealt by them. {{only|Java}}

== Variants ==

=== Tipped arrows ===
{{See also|#Crafting}}

Tipped arrows are arrows that imbue a potion effect when hitting a mob or player. The duration of the effect is {{frac|1|8}} that of the corresponding potion, if applicable, and is not affected by the power of the arrow. The status effect is the same as the regular power effect for the potion. If a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], tipped arrows are still consumed. 

The types of arrows are:

<div class="list-style-none" style="-moz-column-width:19em;-webkit-column-width:19em;column-width:19em">
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Regeneration}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Swiftness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Fire Resistance}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Healing}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Night Vision}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Strength}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Leaping}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Invisibility}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Poison}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Weakness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slowness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Harming}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Water Breathing}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Luck}}{{only|java|short=1}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Decay}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of the Turtle Master}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slow Falling}}
</div>

Arrows of Harming (and arrows of Healing when used against undead mobs) do not add a static amount of damage to the arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-107856||Arrows of harming/healing do not stack with bow damage}}</ref> Instead, the arrow's damage is first calculated, then checked to see if it is below {{Health|12}}. If the arrow's damage is less than 12, the Harming effect of the arrow makes up the difference, to ensure the arrow does exactly {{Health|12}}. Therefore, an unenchanted bow cannot deal more than 12 damage using Harming (or Healing) arrows, as it can deal a maximum of {{Health|11}} damage on level ground. However, if the arrow would deal more than 12 damage, the harming effect is entirely neutralized. This means that bows enchanted with Power I through Power III has a chance to not utilize the arrow at full charge, and any Power level above III never utilizes Arrows of Harming effectively at full charge when against unarmored mobs/players. 

==== No-effect tipped arrows ====

It is possible to craft tipped arrows using [[Lingering Potion#Lingering water bottle|Lingering Water Bottles]] as well as Awkward, Thick, and Mundane [[Lingering Potion|Lingering potions]]. If crafted with a water bottle, the arrow is called an arrow of Splashing. If crafted with Mundane, Awkward, or Thick potions, it is called a tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-158539}}</ref> Tipped arrows crafted from different potions do not stack, as resultant tipped arrows all have different potion tags.

In Bedrock Edition, all four kinds as well as the long mundane tipped arrow aren't obtainable either in creative, by cauldrons, by crafting, or by commands.

All four kinds generate blue particles in flight and upon landing, but otherwise behave like regular arrows. In particular, arrow of Splashing has no effect on fire and campfires and when shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, can light campfires and TNT just like regular arrows on fire.

==== Uncraftable tipped arrows ====

{{IN|java}}, the uncraftable tipped arrow is a tipped arrow with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay. It is available in two variants that don't stack together:

* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }} - arrow assigned an effect placeholder "empty" 
* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow }} - arrow not assigned any effect.

The uncraftable arrow doesn't differ from regular arrows in behavior when used as a projectile.

=== Spectral arrows ===
{{exclusive|java}}
A spectral arrow confers the [[Glowing]] status effect for 10 seconds. The Glowing effect creates an outline of the target, which is visible through blocks, and colored based on the target's [[team]] (white by default). Even if a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], spectral arrows are still consumed. Spectral arrows can be acquired through [[bartering]] or crafted by combining 4 [[Glowstone Dust#Crafting ingredient|glowstone dust]] with one arrow, yielding 2 spectral arrows.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* By default, arrows fly slightly offset to the right. If the player stands close to a wall and fires several arrows without moving the crosshair, the arrows cluster around a point slightly to the right of the crosshair. If the player switches their main hand to be the left hand in options, the arrows instead cluster to the left.
* Arrows fired at [[Nether Portal]]s often skip through the portal block completely and fail to collide, thus continuing through to the opposite side of the block.
* Arrows stuck in blocks vibrate upon a world reload.<ref>{{bug|MC-93992}} – "Arrow shakes when world loads" resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref>
* Although [[enderman|endermen]] teleport when hit by any tipped arrow, they are still given the said effects while avoiding arrow damage.
* {{IN|bedrock}}, even if a tipped arrow is blocked with a shield, while the direct damage from the arrows is negated, the player still gets the effect from the tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down.

=== Mob loot ===
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted.

A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted.

{{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.

=== Trading ===
[[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]]

{{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds.

{{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds.

The enchantments of the swords offered by villagers are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.

== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1.

Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.

==== Sweeping ====
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III.

=== Sword breaking times ===
{{main|Breaking}}

A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>

If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.

The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:
* White: an original block.
* Blue: block's normal drop (e.g. seeds, sapling, apple).
* Red: nothing.

==== Safety around constructions ====
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, care must still be taken around [[minecart]]s, [[painting]]s, [[item frame]]s,{{only|java}} and [[armor stand]]s; these are entities, thus can be broken with swords in Creative.<ref>{{bug|MC-27140}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-18463}}</ref>

=== Enchantments ===
Swords can receive, gathered from mob drops/villager trades or be found in various loot chests (example: End City, Bastion Remnant)with the following [[enchantment]]s:

{{main|Blocking}}
[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]]
 
Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one.
 
After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]].

=== Knockback ===
The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''.

== Trivia ==
*The sword's traditional [[texture]] came from [[Notch]]'s abandoned RPG, ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
*In ''Java Edition'', with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead [[mob]]s in the game (except [[wither]]s and [[zombie]]s/[[skeleton]]s with random armor) using a sword with the [[Smite]] V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a [[Smite]] V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
*Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official ''[[Minecraft]]'' merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
*In the game [[wikipedia:Transformice|''Transformice'']], a diamond sword can be found in the shop.
