About

The Wooden Sword is a straightforward melee tool that deals 4 damage per hit and has a durability of 59 uses before breaking. It is the easiest sword to craft, requiring only wooden planks arranged in the standard sword pattern, making it immediately available once a player has harvested wood.

While outclassed by stone, iron, and diamond swords in both damage and durability, the Wooden Sword serves as a practical early-game weapon and remains useful for testing combat mechanics or controlling mob spawning in controlled environments. It cannot be stacked, so each sword occupies one inventory slot.

On servers, spawn it for players using the GFI command with the item's namespaced ID. Like all swords, it takes no durability loss when used to break blocks, only when striking mobs or players.
