Diamond Sword

Crafting and End City chest loot give you Diamond Sword, a tool filed under Tools. No stacking for Diamond Sword: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine. 1561 uses are what Diamond Sword has before a repair, and every hit takes one off; it takes enchantments too.

1561 actions is what Diamond Sword is worth from new, and the two enchantments that change that number are Unbreaking, which stretches the 1561, and Mending, which pays them back as you collect experience. Diamond gear is high tier, capable of handling the toughest blocks and mobs, and any diamond tool or armor piece can be upgraded to Netherite at a smithing table. When enchanted, Diamond Sword can carry 10 different enchantments, among them Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, and Knockback. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold Diamond Sword, bastion treasure chests are the best bet at about 28% per chest. It sits between Diamond Shovel and Fishing Rod in Tools, number 9 of 35 there.

Diamond, 390 points per unit

Seven damage at 1.6 swings a second is 11.2 damage per second, and the Diamond Sword holds that number for 1561 uses. A creeper at 20 health goes down in three swings of the Diamond Sword, the same three a netherite one needs.

One diamond on the anvil returns 390 points, so four diamonds rebuild the whole bar. Where the Diamond Sword loses out is the enchanting table: 10 enchantability sits below iron and far below gold.
