(Minecraft pro gamer question) Does Diamond Sword or Axe do more damage?

Question

Does an axe do more damage than a sword? or is it vice versa

(Only pro MC players know this)

Comments

I think the axe does more damage and also reaches further away.

Answer 1

An axe deals 2 more damage points/hearts than a sword would. A sword deals 7 and an axe deals 9.

Comments

Not according to the big books of hacks for Minecrafters

in java that's true but in bedrock it isn't

And the Minecraft Wiki!

Answer 2

With a critical attack, the axe would deal more damage (up to 8 hearts, depending on which type of axe, whith no enchantments). The axe also stuns shields, whereas the sword doesn't.

In Java edition, the axe has more reload time, and the sword is quicker.

In bedrock edition, attack speed is nonexistent,

So, they are both good in different ways

Answer 3

In Java Edition, a diamond axe deals more (9) damage but has slower attack speed.

In Bedrock Edition, a diamond sword deals more (7) damage. Attack speed does not exist in Bedrock Edition.

Answer 4

Diamond axe does more in Java but diamond sword does more in Bedrock

Answer 5

Sword. I used a reference book.

Comments

Ok so the thing is in Java the sword has sweeping edge with 7 damage and an axe does 9 damage with slower attack speed.

In Bedrock the sword does 7 the axe does 6 same attack speed and no sweeping edge. (Oh and also Bedrock you can just spam swing a sword)

Please don't correct me! I wss right about bedrock

I wasn't correcting you, I was merely stating those other facts for Java players.

Oh sorry
