Netherite Sword

A Netherite Sword is one of the strongest melee weapons in Minecraft, crafted by upgrading a diamond sword with a netherite ingot using a smithing table. It deals the highest base damage of any sword and has increased durability, making it the best sword for combat. It can also be enchanted with Sharpness, Looting, Unbreaking, and Fire Aspect to maximize its effectiveness. Due to its strength and resistance to lava, a Netherite Sword is considered a key tool for late-game survival and PvP.
