For the enchantment in Minecraft Dungeons, see MCD:Protection.

Protection is an enchantment applied to armor that increases the armor's damage reduction.

Usage

Protection has no effect on damage from the void, the /kill command, or hunger. In Bedrock Edition, protection does not reduce damage from negative status effects like poison or wither.[1] Otherwise, the damage is protected, even if armor normally would not protect against it (e.g. damage from using ender pearls). When enchanted armor reduces damage from a source that armor does not normally protect against, it does not lose any durability.

The formula for damage reduction is (4 × level)% for each armor piece. However, in Bedrock Edition armor pieces with Protection IV use (4 × (level + 1))%, or in other words Protection IV functions as if it were Protection V.[2]

Damage reduction from Protection, Fire Protection, Feather Falling, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection stacks up to an upper limit of 80% (see armor enchantments). In Bedrock Edition a full set of armor with Protection IV is sufficient for this maximum amount of protection.

The protection enchantment is applied after the armor's damage reduction. For example, 20 armor points provide an 80% damage reduction.[not in citation given] If the total protection enchantment levels on said armor adds up to 10, they would provide 40% damage reduction. This would equate to a total of 88% damage reduction, as damage reduction stacks multiplicatively rather than additively (20% * 60%, rather than 80% + 40%).

Incompatibilities

Protection, Blast Protection, Fire Protection, and Projectile Protection are mutually exclusive. However, if commands are used to have two or more of these enchantments on the same item, the effects stack.[citation needed]

The '''ice bomb''' is an [[item]] that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

|-
|<center>[[Compound#List_of_compounds|Sodium Acetate]] x4</center>
|}

== Usage ==

Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. They are affected by gravity.

Like with [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the [[hotbar]] by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.

Ice bombs explode upon hitting most [[blocks]], including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but do not deal [[damage]], and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, their impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace [[mobs]] in ice under water.

While [[endermen]] teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs. 

Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in ice.

A '''beetroot''' is a food and [[dye]] ingredient.

== Obtaining ==

=== Farming ===
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown [[beetroots|crop block]], which drops 1 beetroot and 1-4 seeds ({{frac|2|5|7}} seeds per plant harvested on average). Seed yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} seeds per plant.

These crops can be found growing in [[village]]s or can be grown from planted [[beetroot seeds]].<!-- Do not add locations for finding seeds. Where to find seeds is described in the article about the seeds. -->

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
A beetroot can be eaten to restore {{hunger|1}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Six beetroots can be crafted into [[beetroot soup]], which restores six times the hunger and saturation of a single beetroot.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Breeding ===
Beetroots can be used to [[breeding|breed]] [[pig]]s. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.

[[Villager]]s can pick up beetroot items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers need 12 beetroots before they can breed.

=== Composting ===
Placing beetroot into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 15 beetroots for an emerald.

==== 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.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-sword,level-enchanted-iron-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-iron-sword,golden-sword,random-enchanted-golden-sword,diamond-sword,damaged-diamond-sword,level-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword-2}}

== 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.

=== Damage ===
{{Main|Damage}}

==== Java Edition ====
Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

The most amount of damage that a sword enchanted with [[Sharpness]] V can do is 11 {{in|java}} and 15.25 {{in|bedrock}}, without critical hits.

=== 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:

Golden swords have the highest enchantability, yet the least durability{{Notelist}}

=== Fuel ===
Wooden swords can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per sword.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Sword;Golden Sword|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}

=== Piglins ===
If a {{EntityLink|Piglin}} see a golden sword, it will set off to reach it, then stare at it for 120 — 160 ticks, putting it in their inventory, and continue to perform the action it was taking before being attracted by the golden sword.

{{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.
