A wooden sword is an early-game variant of sword crafted from planks. It is the sixth-highest tier of sword, dealing the same damage as a golden sword but having more durability. It can be used as fuel in a furnace, smoker, or blast furnace.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Wooden swords are crafted with two planks of any kind and one stick.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Attacking

[edit | edit source]

Pressing attack while holding a wooden sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the wooden sword's durability decreases by 1.

Attacking a boat or a minecart with a wooden sword requires 2 hits in Java Edition, without decreasing the wooden sword's durability.

Sweep attack

[edit | edit source]
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.
 

If the player is grounded, is not performing a sprint-knockback attack, and has an attack charge of 84.8% or above, the wooden sword performs a sweep attack. Sweep attacks are indicated by a gale particle that reaches nearby enemies for 1HP👁 💔
and knocks them back. All enemies within a 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 by the sweep. Sweep attacks play a unique sound effect, and the amount of knockback inflicted by them is 80% of the base knockback. The Sweeping Edge enchantment increases the sweep attack's damage to surrounding entities from a set 1HP👁 💔
to 50% of the wooden sword's base damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III. If the wooden sword is enchanted, the enchantments are carried over into the sweep to apply to surrounding mobs.

Breaking

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Breaking

A wooden sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks faster. In most cases, the base mining speed of these blocks is multiplied by 1.5, effectively reducing the time it takes to destroy them with bare hands by 13. Wooden swords break cobwebs much faster than bare hands and they break bamboo instantly. Using a wooden sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, even though the wooden sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.[1]

If a wooden sword is enchanted with Silk Touch, by using either Creative or commands, cobwebs destroyed by the sword drop themselves instead of the usual string because the sword is classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.

The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which wooden swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:

  • Itself
  • Block's normal drop (e.g., seeds, sapling, apple)
  • Nothing

Creative mode

[edit | edit source]

In Creative mode, wooden swords are unable to break blocks. However, they can still break placed entities such as minecarts, paintings, item frames,‌[Java Edition only] and armor stands.[2][3]

Repairing

Anvil repair

[edit | edit source]

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

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
