Minecraft Diamond Sword Stats and Enchantments

The diamond sword with no enchantments deals 7 attack damage on Java and 8 attack damage on the Bedrock edition. Its attack speed on Java is 1.6, and the reset time is 0.625 seconds to reset. The weapon’s durability is 1560 on both editions.
Besides the curse of vanishing, there are nine enchantments you can have on the sword. Those are:

Sharpness Sweeping edge (Java edition only) Looting Knockback Smite Bane of arthropods Fire aspect Unbreaking Mending

Sharpness, sweeping edge, smite, bane of arthropods, and fire aspect all increase the sword’s damage in certain ways. Looting grants greater chances of mobs dropping items, while knockback pushes attacked mobs away from you.
Unbreaking and mending affect the durability of the diamond sword and make it last longer. Moreover, not all these enchantments can go on the same sword, as some are mutually exclusive. If you’re a bit stuck, you should learn about the best Minecraft sword enchantments to amp up your sword further.
