Swords

Swords are very commonly used weapons in Minecraft. They are mostly used to deal melee damage to entities, but can also be used for breaking plant-like blocks and cobwebs a bit faster than by hand. Thermal Foundation adds Sword types for all of its base metals and some of its alloys.

Swords can be repaired with an Anvil, using the metals they are crafted with. They are also able to block attacks by holding the use button. This will reduce damage dealt by most attacks by 50%, and will reduce the player to a speed slower than sneaking.
