A Golden Sword is a melee weapon crafted from sticks and gold ingots, making it the fastest but least durable sword in Minecraft. It has the same attack power as a wooden sword but breaks quickly due to its low durability. Despite its weakness, a Golden Sword has the highest enchantability of any sword, making it useful for obtaining powerful enchantments. It can also be smelted into a gold nugget using a furnace or blast furnace. Due to its inefficiency, it is rarely used for combat but can be useful for enchanting experiments.
