OMGcraft – Minecraft Tips & Tutorials! – How to BUILD A GOD-TIER SWORD with Enchantments in Minecraft!

Today we are taking a look at swords and what are the best enchantments to get on them for every situation so here we are inside of a minecraft in this arena that i have for testing all sorts of combat mechanics obviously looking at swords today so first we’re

Gonna cover every single different type of enchantment that you can get on swords which ones you should focus on obviously then we’re going to take about talk about the base damage of every sword and what is sort of the max amount of damage that you could apply to a

Sword or what are kind of what’s kind of like the god to your sword the best sword that you can have so first let’s take a look at some of these enchantments and we have a dummy here he has health above him so you can see well

He’s has some pretty crazy armor on so we’re gonna say no armor and now you can see when we attack him that his health changes so we’ll be able to take a look at these enchantments and what it does to players health so first off is just straight up normal

This is without an enchantment what a sword can do and you want to look at a few things when it comes to sword first is the attack speed that is actually constant for a sword that would change if you had an axe and then next is the attack

Damage this all happens when you hover over the sword in your inventory now the attack damage will change based off of which sword that you have you can see over here in the creative menu these are all the different sword types that you can have and so the attack damage will

Change so basic sword that’s all it does let’s go ahead and smack our dummy here and just show off that uh yeah that it works uh so you can see it goes down four health points four health points it takes two health points per heart so that’s actually two

Hearts of damage so you can see every time that we smack this person then they go down four health points now you do also have a critical attack critical attacks are achieved by falling so as the player is in the falling direction and you attack then you can get a

Critical a normal attack looks like this where only those little heart particles are really the only thing you see but a critical attack will have lots of lots more particles so you’ll see a ton more particles there and i killed them so a critical attack that does six points of

Damage so you can see that critical does more than just a normal attack so keep that in mind next moving on to sharpness sharpness will increase the damage that your sword does so by default this wooden sword attacks for four and the sharpness five uh wooden sword sharpness five is the

Most you can get attacks for seven and you can see that directly correlated in the attack if you have a critical then it attacks for nine so seven is the base nine is the critical on a wooden sword obviously you’re not going to have a wooden sword next is fire aspect and

Fire aspect will set whoever you hit on fire and so this is useful for sort of long term uh battles especially against players because most players don’t carry a water bucket with them or they’d have to sort of divert into a water source to put themselves out and if you’re paying

Close attention you were able to notice that that damage is actually seven damage now that’s with fire aspect two and so i’m kind of showing off the best enchantments you can get so fire aspect two lasts a little bit longer than fire aspect one but you can see

That that original hit takes this player down to 16 and then after all of the fire damage they’re at nine so seven points of damage are additional uh with that fire over time moving on to a knockback and knock back all it does is knock back the player and it doesn’t

Matter if you knock them back while you’re just kind of standing still like this and it looks like they move back about six blocks a little bit more than six blocks i would say because whenever i teleport this player to the center they are standing in the direct center

Of that block so whether you’re standing still or you can do a critical it’s basically the same so it’s a little bit more than six blocks is what you’re able to do knockback for this is useful if you have a large group of mobs or players and they’re attacking you all at

Once and this way you could smack a whole bunch of them all at once and you could disperse a crowd because they’d they’d be flown back and you can kind of deal with them as they come next smite and bane of arthropods those are both just available to be put on this sword

I’m not gonna deal i’m not gonna show you anything with that because there’s there’s when it comes to actually attacking things these are kind of enchantments that i don’t suggest that you should get but you can get smart smite five and bane of arthropods five these will hurt uh smite will hurt

Undead creatures so skeletons zombies uh that sort of thing and then bane of arthropods will hurt arthropodic peach creatures so that would be spiders and bees moving on to looting looting will and uh will increase your chances of getting a drop from a mob that drops something so there’s this enderman here

Whenever you kill an enderman there’s a small chance that you’ll get an ender pearl and looting will increase that chance this is also really really useful whenever you’re fighting wither skeletons because weather skeletons will drop the wither skeleton skull which is what you need in order to build the

Wither so looting three is really something that you like whenever you’re trying to get skulls it doesn’t change the damage it doesn’t change any attack speed or anything like that so looting is nice whenever you need lots of drops but that’s about it next is unbreaking three and it’s exactly you guys know

What this does uh it will stop the item from taking damage i’ve been in creative mode this whole time but every time that you would to smack another player your item durability goes down so i’ve hit this player twice it started off at 59 durability now it’s

Down to 57. but with an unbreaking item you have the chance that that item will not take a durability hit whenever you attack so i’ve attacked three times and this unbreaking three item hasn’t taken a single hit of durability i’ve gotten lucky they go on the fourth attack it

Finally took a single hit of durability so unbreaking will make sure that your items can last longer and similar to unbreaking is mending and that will allow you to not need to repair your item in an anvil it will repair itself whenever you get experience so if

You have a lot of durability taken and you go to an experienced farm or you just happen to kill a whole bunch of stuff while holding it then the experience will be sucked into the item and it will repair itself you do have to be holding the item or have it be

Equipped on you in order for that experience to apply so if it’s armor and it’s just on you you’re wearing the armor then it’ll uh be applied or if you’re holding it in your dominant hand or your off hand so either hand will work sometimes if i’m trying

To mend a few things like a bow and a shovel say then i would hold one in each hand and then you would be able to mend both next let’s talk about sweeping edge this is a java only enchantment so sorry bedrock players so sweeping edge is actually something that

You have on your player at all times and on a sword at all times i should say a sword will always have a little bit of sweeping edge and so what this means is if you attack something it will hit the thing next to it one second so you can

See with this enderman i have him really close to the player and if i hit the enderman it will also hit the player as well now this is uh here let’s use this normal wooden sword and this is just a small attack and you can see it

Only does half a heart of damage to the player now with the sweeping edge enchantment that will the range of the sweeping edge is not increased but the amount of damage dealt to nearby entities and enemies will increase so if i hit now this enderman it actually hits

The player for four damage where before it was only a half heart so this will increase the amount of damage to other to the surrounding entities by the way a sweeping edge will not happen if you are doing a critical attack so if i’m critically attacking this entity here it will not

Work and same thing with the enchantment you have to be doing a normal attack in order for sweeping edge to work so if you have the sweeping edge enchantment applied and you’re like come on my my enchantment isn’t working i’m not actually hitting uh anything then you

May need to check that you’re not using a critical attack to uh achieve that sweeping edge okay so we have talked all about the different enchantments and we’ve been using wooden swords to do it so let’s talk about the base attack damage of all of the swords so start off

With four attack damage you have wood and gold those are in the same category for attack damage moving on to stone you have five attack damage iron has six attack damage and diamond has seven attack damage and with a full fully enchanted completely sharpness five uh diamond sword you would have a

10 attack damage of 10. so now let’s take a look at some of these diamond swords and what we can accomplish so like we said attack damage 10 if you just attack anything without getting a critical then it is 10 points of damage if you do a critical attack then that is

13 points of damage a lot that’s over half of whatever the you know what you know whatever that player has now that’s insane i mean that’s a ton of damage 13 points of damage is an awful lot but what are the best type of enchantments

To actually get on a sword and so i’m gonna i’m gonna sort of come up with my my golden sword like this is like well obviously not gold because gold doesn’t attack for very much but this is the god tier sword this sword would be the best

That you could possibly get in the game so first off we would start with sharpness five next i would want something to make sure that the sword doesn’t break all that often and so that would be unbreaking and mending so we’re gonna put on breaking three onto this

Sword and then we’re gonna do the same thing with mending now mending does not have any level version of it so is mending just straight mending one basically is gonna be enough so now we have a sharpness five unbreaking three mending sword next let’s talk about what

We’re going to be doing with it if we’re on a single player world and all we’re going to be fighting is other creatures then knockback which is where is it right here would be okay to enchant with but if you’re going to be fighting anybody else if you’re going to be in a

Situation where you’re fighting players i dislike knockback because normally if you’re going to fight a player sometimes they run away and you really want to get that last kill in and if you hit them with knockback well then they’re going to go flying away and it’s i just feel like it’s an annoying

Enchantment so if you’re going to be fighting mobs and creatures knockback is okay because you might have a lot of zombies you might have a lot of intermittent you want to push them away from you but if you’re pl fighting players knock back i would not suggest

It moving on to fire aspect fire aspect is awesome for a few different reasons obviously when you’re fighting a player it’ll do seven damage over time but also if you are killing mobs and creatures that will give you food that food will be cooked whenever it hits the ground so

Fire aspect is definitely something that we want so fire rise pick two net is going on the the sword of my dreams smite band of arthropods we don’t want it why because it’s actually uh you can’t have it’s it’s you can’t have that with sharpness so you can either have

Sharpness bane of arthropods smite and and so you have to pick one of them and so we want sharpness looting three it’s always sort of nice to have if you’re able to get it if you’re not able to get it don’t worry about it you can have

That on a specific sword that’s meant basically only to kill item or you know creatures that you need looting on but why not if we’re going for our best sword ever looting three now sweeping edge do we want sweeping edge i really don’t care about sweeping

Edge all that much to me sweeping edge it is almost annoying at times if you’re like dealing with other players maybe that are on your team or something like that so most likely you’re going to be making a sword and this could just be an iron sword for a mob grinder it doesn’t

Have to be your daily driver so i would say sweeping edge is not on my dream list of enchantments that is basically it here is the dream list of enchantments sharpness five on breaking three mending fire aspect and looting what does this mean if we attack a

Player who doesn’t have any armor on with this sword well they’ll be killed all the way as long as they don’t put themselves out with the fire damage because the fire will end up killing them so as long as the player that you’re fighting doesn’t

Have any armor on then they will be one hit killed with this sword but let’s say that they do have armor on what does that mean so with diamond armor that is unenchanted a critical hit will take them down to 16 then they’ll take the seven points of fire damage and that

Will bring them to nine now that 16 with armor it’s very complicated so sometimes like that would would have been four points of damage sometimes you’ll get more so you know if i hit them there and then i have them there that was five points i just noticed so sometimes you

Can get more damage uh let’s see what are they gonna stop at 17 so we hit him again that brought him down to 13. so that was only five points of damage we were at 15 attack again that was only four points of damage so armor sometimes

Complicates the whole mix of things uh now that was just straight up diamond armor so let’s go ahead and heal this player again and then this time give them protection for armor every piece of of armor has protection enchantment and so if we attack them with a critical hit

You can see that the first hit doesn’t do all that much that was just a single point of damage and then they ended up only taking five points of fire damage because the protection that they have will also uh work on fire just a little bit so there we go

Once again that was only a single point of damage on that protection for armor so it’s kind of sad once uh once you get up there with uh you’re like i enchanted this thing so much and it just doesn’t have anything so that’s one of the reasons here we can

Just show you here without all the fire damage this is a sharpness five sword even with a critical hit you’re gonna get between one and two points of damage so you can see why the protection for armor is such a big deal like that’s incredible that even with

Sharpness five the protection 4 armor really really does help them a lot which is a reason that you would like you like fire fire aspect because you’re able to get an extra five points of damage there with your fire aspect sword and there you have it everything you need to know
