About

The Iron Sword is a mid-tier melee weapon that does not stack in inventory. It is more durable and deals more damage than wooden or stone swords, making it useful for early combat against mobs and other players.

Admins can issue the Iron Sword to players via /give @p minecraft:iron_sword 1. The sword does not stack, so each copy takes a full inventory slot. Use enchantments like Sharpness or Knockback to enhance its performance, or apply Unbreaking to extend its durability.
