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.[1]
If a 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.
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, they can still break placed entities such as minecarts, paintings, item frames,β[Java Edition only] and armor stands.[2][3]
A diamond sword is used to deal damage to mobs and entities by attacking them. The diamond sword has 7HPπ β€οΈ

A diamond sword can be repaired in an anvil by adding diamonds, with each repair diamond restoring 25% the sword's maximum durability, rounded down. Two diamond swords can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the diamond sword's enchantments.
A diamond sword can receive the following enchantments:
Like other diamond items, a diamond sword can be upgraded to a netherite sword, increasing its durability and attack damage, as well as granting resistance to fire and lava when dropped as an item.
