If you’ve played the game before, you undoubtedly know that combat is a main aspect of Minecraft. The game is primarily about building and relaxing, however playing in survival mode stops players from doing this. There is a wide range of enemies in Minecraft. Each of these enemies is different from one another and has unique attacks and behaviours.
Some enemies in Minecraft will approach you head on and try to kill you straight away. Other enemies will try to fight you from a distance using a more tactical approach. In short, you’ll face many a few dangers while playing Minecraft if you choose the game’s classic survival mode.
You’ll obviously need a weapon in order to fend all these enemies off and keep yourself safe. Luckily the game is filled with many different weapons that players can use to fight these enemies and keep them at bay while trying to gather supplies for building. Two of the more popular weapons available for selection in the game are the axe and sword.
Sword vs Axe In Minecraft
The sword and the axe in Minecraft are arguably the two most popular weapons available in Minecraft. Both of them are used for the same purpose, which is to fight enemies, but they are both quite different. The axe has some advantages over the sword while the sword has some advantages over the axe. Many players debate between which of the two weapons is better. Here is a comparison between both of them to make it easier to answer this question.
Damage
In terms of damage, the axe is better than the sword. The axe is capable of focusing its power on a single enemy. This allows players to deal very high damage to a specific enemy and take them out in one or two hits. However, the axe isn’t capable of damaging multiple enemies at a single time.
As mentioned, the sword does less damage to enemies. Your character does a swipe attack while doing a store. This attack doesn’t focus on a single enemy. However, this is also good as a swipe attack allows you to damage multiple enemies standing in front of you.
Cost and Durability
A sword costs less to make as compared to an axe, however, this isn’t necessarily a good thing. While an axe is more expensive to make, it is also slightly more durable. Swords, on the other hand, are a bit cheaper to make but will break quicker than axes because of their lower durability. To be more specific, a sword will always break one-hit quicker than its axe counterpart.
Attack Rate
Swords have a huge advantage when it comes to attacking rate. Axes have a very long recovery time which can make them disadvantageous in a few situations. The sword, on the other hand, has good recovery time and allows players to attack repeatedly in very short amounts of time.
Axes are way better because Dream, the BEST player in the WORLD uses them and he is better than technoblade so yeah
false and it depends on the version of Minecraft
True In Bedrock the sword deals more dmage than the axe
And also wood axe deals 7 damage, sword deals 4 but half the cooldown = sword 8 and axe 7
are you ok, dream is good, but technoblade beat him, and by your name, I think you are both a stan and mentally unstable, also, how does dream using axes make them better?
You can use a different name for every comment you leave, so if he had to choose one name it probably wouldn’t be ‘dream is so good’ also it is a common opinion that Dream is the best player in the world, and if we look at parkour, survival, speed running, and pvp, Dream is all around better than Technoblade. Nothing in that comment suggests he is mentally unstable, nor a ‘stan’, if you actually watched the video by Dream himself on stans. So shut up and learn to respect other people’s opinions.
I think the fact that his name is “dream is so good,” he said his better then techno, his the best player in the world and that axes are better than swords because dream uses them kinda means his a stan. I dont think his mentally unstable, but i disagree when you say dream is better than him at pvp.https://youtu.be/zVCs9Cug_qM(mrs beast duel). And techno beat minecraft with a steering wheel so i think there equal at survival. i understand what ur saying, but technoblade is better at pvp(he proved it in the duel) and probarbly equal at survival. I dont think his bullying the dream stan, his just stating facts proving wrong, and i think you should respect the facts.
Lol, never thought I’d see a dream stan again. Technoblade is good at 1.7/1.8 PVP, Dream is better at 1.9+.Axes did less damage in 1.8 than swords so you can stop talking about that, and while it did get a good boost in 1.9, swords are still better, because you can W and S tap on them and get chain comboes. If you don’t believe me we can duel against each other if you have Minecraft Java. Dream isn’t better and neither is Techno. Dream focuses on luck and IQ (smart) based games. (Speedruns, Manhunts, challenges (like the block shuffle challenges). Techno focuses more on PVP(1.8), and Hypixel Skyblock. He also beat Dream in a duel in a MrBeast video. They split the money. I assume your just angry because Techno won so you have to make others angry. Please rethink your comment.
Technoblade is beter in pvp dan Dream en Dream is goed in speedrunnen
ok stop arguing, i think they are both the same and just get over the fact that technoblade beat dream because of strategy and mistakes. who knows, maybe in the future dream will beat technoblade.
umm sorry but the fact is dream is better in regular survival but techno is better at pvp does none pay attention to the content they make?
and yes whoever is “dream is the best” most definetly needs to make a visit to a doctor at monarch (monarch is a mental hospital).
sorry but techno is better than dream when it comes to pvp
*** everyone dream is overall better but not by much and technoblade is better at pvp
personally i like technoblade better but i have to agree that dream is better overall
There is a reason Dream gets more subscribers than Technoblade. He is just simply better at the game. It is unfortunate that he cheated in one of his speedruns but that does not change his skill but only his luck. Technoblade is incredibly overpowered when it comes to PVP and he did win the fight against Dream. Whatever the cause of this is he won. There are no excuses for losing in a fair fight. Overall they are highly equal but specialize in different category’s of the game. Times change but for now Dream is the best Minecraft player in the game with everything but PVP. Technoblade takes that title. Thanks for listening to my TEDTALK
As people say it just depends of what version u are on on 1.9 is where dream is more used to axes and techno is better at 1.8 me a xbox player that is decently ok for pvp plays bedrock and i use swords because a netherite axe does 7 damage as well as fhe daimond sword so its no suprise that the netherite sword does 8 attack damage in my over all opinion is that it doesnt matter which is better its just u have to be used to it and that means ur best with its not like somebodys gonna be like oh look at me swords are terrible and axes are good and much more better so basically it just means what version ur on is it better then the green freak using te axe or the pig using the sword doesnt matter case close GOODBYE
but techno beat the game with a steering wheel
