How to Get Stone Sword
The Stone Sword is crafted from two cobblestone and one stick, and stone-tier variants such as blackstone or cobbled deepslate work interchangeably. It deals 5 attack damage at 1.6 attack speed with 131 durability—more than double the lifespan of a wooden sword—making it the standard early-game weapon before iron.
- Mine at least two cobblestone with any pickaxe.
- Place the two cobblestone vertically in the middle column of a Crafting Table with one stick below.
- Carry it through your first mining trips, then move up to an Iron Sword once smelting is running.
What Is Stone Sword Used For?
