Minecraft, Swords And Bows

Minecraft, Swords And Bows.

This tutorial will familiarize you with the weapons available within Minecraft and give you some tips when fighting.

Sword

There are 5 swords in Minecraft which differentiate in how much they damage enemies and their durability.

Sword: Wooden Sword

Damage: 2 Hearts of damage

Durability: 60

Sword: Golden Sword

Damage: 2 Hearts of damage

Durability: 33

Sword: Stone Sword

Damage: 2.5 Hearts of damage

Durability: 132

Sword: Iron Sword

Damage: 3 Hearts of damage

Durability: 251

Sword: Diamond Sword

Damage: 3.5 Hearts of damage

Durability: 1562

Although it may seem incorrect gold swords actually do less damage than stone swords also the durability is much less than any other sword even wood. This is most likely because in real life gold is quite brittle.

Bows

There is only one type of bow in minecraft. Unlike swords bows require an arrow to be used. A fully pulled shot takes away 4.5 Hearts and sometimes 5 Hearts only if it hits. There is no Head-shot mechanic within Minecraft so it doesn't matter where you hit. 

Tips

Bows fired at Endermen do NOT work. The Enderman will just dodge the shot and attack you.

If you hold right click with a sword in hand you will block. Blocking reduces damage from enemies and explosions substantially.

If you attack or shoot while falling or while coming down when jumping it will make it a critical hit.

If you have a sword with Fire Aspect or a bow with flame and you hit a cow, chicken or pig....

 

It will drop cooked food.
