The standard way to get a diamond sword is by crafting it. The recipe is simple, requiring two diamonds and one stick. You can find diamonds by mining deep underground. On a crafting table, place the two diamonds in a vertical line in the middle column, with the stick in the bottom middle slot. You can also find a diamond sword as loot in the world. They have a chance to appear in chests in End cities and bastion remnants, and they often come with powerful enchantments.

It is also great for breaking certain blocks quickly, like cobwebs. To make your diamond sword even more deadly, you can enchant it. The Sharpness enchantment increases its damage, making it even more effective. The Looting enchantment makes mobs drop more items when you defeat them, which is great for farming resources. The Fire Aspect enchantment sets your enemies on fire, dealing extra damage over time. A well enchanted diamond sword is one of the best weapons you can have for any combat situation.
