Attack Damage and Durability

Attack damage is the amount of damage the item will deal when attacking a mob.

Durability represents how long the item will last. For tools, weapons and transportation, durability is the number of useful actions before the item is destroyed. For armor items, durability is the number of hits (that can be blocked by armor) before the item is destroyed. So the higher the durability number, the longer the item will last.

The following table shows the attack damage and durability for each weapon in Minecraft:

Item	Name	Attack Damage	Durability
	Netherite Sword	8	2031
	Diamond Sword	7	1561
	Bow	<varies>	384
	Crossbow	<varies>	326
	Iron Sword	6	250
	Mace	6	250
	Trident	9	250
	Stone Sword	5	131
	Wooden Sword	4	59
