A Wooden Sword is a basic melee weapon crafted from sticks and wooden planks, making it the weakest and least durable sword in Minecraft. It deals low damage and has a short durability, making it a temporary weapon often replaced early in the game. A Wooden Sword can be used to attack mobs, break cobwebs quickly, and activate wooden pressure plates or dispensers. Due to its low durability, it is commonly used as a last resort or for quick early-game defense. It can also be used as fuel in a furnace, burning for 10 seconds.
