A Diamond Sword is a melee weapon crafted from sticks and diamonds, making it one of the most durable and powerful swords in Minecraft. It deals high damage and has a long lifespan, making it a preferred choice for combat against mobs and players. Due to its strength and durability, it is commonly enchanted with Sharpness, Looting, and Unbreaking for even greater effectiveness. A Diamond Sword can also be upgraded to a netherite sword using a smithing table, further increasing its durability and knockback resistance.
