Usage

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

A copper sword can be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using copper sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that a copper sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.

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

Creative mode

[edit | edit source]

In Creative mode, copper swords are unable to break blocks. However, they can still break placed entities such as minecarts, paintings, item frames,β€Œ[Java Edition only] and armor stands.

Attacking

[edit | edit source]

A copper sword can also be used to deal damage to mobs and entities by attacking them. A copper sword has 6HPπŸ‘ ❀️
πŸ‘ ❀️
πŸ‘ ❀️
base damage in Bedrock Edition, and can be enchanted to deal more damage. The following tables show how the Sharpness enchantment affects the damage dealt by the sword.

A copper sword can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% a copper sword's maximum durability, rounded down. Two copper swords of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the sword's enchantments.
