This method is efficient when defending a fortified building, but is nearly useless when exploring except for whenever a player encounters the 2-block wide Spider. It is then possible to hit mobs without them seeing a player: this prevents mobs from retaliating.
A player must of course have blocks over his head so that mobs do not come into the trench. However, since Beta 1.8 update, there are no (non- enchanted) swords that can match a full-charged arrow (with a non-critical hit).Ī way to use swords without being hit, thus closing the gap between swords and bows, is to dig a trench such that a player's head is the same level as the mob's feet. Even a wooden sword was on par with an arrow.
Swords used to inflict more damage than bows, often significantly more, depending on material. A player cannot break/mine anything with this weapon in creative mode. The durability and damage dealt depends on what material the sword was crafted with: gold being the lowest in damage and durability, Netherite being the highest. Swords were previously used to block attacks up until 1.9, where shields replaced sword-blocking. Despite its appearance, it grants no range advantage over any other tool since Beta 1.9, including bare hands.
