The Ultimate Minecraft 1.20 Weapons Guide - Sword, Bow, Axe, Trident & Crossbow Compared

[@christina5949]

A couple of things you missed. First, using the axe as a weapon uses twice the durability in combat. Second, and this is a big one, you can have multiple crossbows on your hotbar, pre-charged, and use them in quick succession, giving more damage per second than any other weapon hands down. You showed this in effect at the end of the video, but I imagine a lot of people didn't realize what was happening.

[@Fugorsa]

Projectile still have damage cooldown in java so . . . Not very effective lmao.

[@creaturexxii]

One thing I like about the crossbow is being able to effectively fire from cover. With the bow, you're exposed when you draw it back as your movement is slowed down, making it harder to fire from cover. A loaded crossbow doesn't inhibit your movement allowing you fire while on the move. Plus, quick charge mitigates the disadvantage of long loading time, allowing you to fire rapidly while putting out full power shots.

[@StereotypicalAsian]

Problem with that is crossbows are mainly paired with fireworks and fireworks must be in offhand in order to shoot. This is a big disadvantage seeing how the off hand is so important for holding totems or shields in pvp

[@christianlauren5883]

​@@StereotypicalAsianwait what? how about in bedrock, when off hands can only work on shields and totems of undying?

[@Verroll]

7:26 on java impaling doesn't affect drowneds since they are undead mobs not aquatic, this make the java trident only useful on turtles and (elder)guardians However in bedrock, tridents are wayyy more effective since mobs under rain will take damage from impaling, so you basically one hit every regular overworld mobs

That is correct, I didn't do the best job explaining the differences there, although I definitely think Impaling in java should be the same as it is in bedrock

You forgot to say how a crossbow with a piercing enchant gives you infinity arrows, including Tipped arrows. Making it useful for villager curing, or whatever other uses you might have for tipped arrows. Shoot a piercing enchanted crossbow with a weakness tipped arrow at the zombie villager, then give it a golden apple, and finally retrieve back the arrow wherever it landed, thus 1 arrow of weakness that can be used forever for all your curing villager needs. No more having to constantly brew potion of weakness!

[@mdahnafalfee196]

Yeah i used this trick in my world, so i didn't need any blaze rods for weakness potions. Because some fletcher villagers trade 'Arrow of Weakness'.

Using a riptide trident in the rain with an elytra lets you go insanely fast, I think it might even be the fastest method of transport in the game. It's also a good idea to leave puddles (blocks of water with waterlogged chests) around you base as a way to use riptide anytime instead of walking around or using an elytra and fireworks

This just proved something, Minecraft needs to add more weapon types, enchantments, and weaponize tools, imagine a weapon fishing rod that doesn’t reduce much durability does weak damage but can pull you in completely from 20 blocks away or have a enchantment that gives it a 5% chance of disarming a mobs item or players. Imagine a war hammer than stuns enemies and does more damage to hard skin mobs like skeletons wither and wither skeletons, maybe even has a leaping attack that does AOE. Daggers would be nice and cheap as a early game weapon, super fast attack speed and recovery, a throwable enchantment and a speed boost enchantment, making it a nice running away weapon. A colossal sword or great sword that is slow in recovery and attack speed but packs a huge damage punch. Enchantment should only be one and it should basically do it’s regular damage plus 5% of the remaining health to mobs, basically a boss farming sword for those tanky bosses. A katana would be nice too, with the introduction of cherry blossom trees, a katana should have the same stats as a sword, but different enchantments, one should be swift attacks which hit 3 times rapidly and knocks back the target on the last hit, and the other should be quick draw slash which if you press and hold, then click, you dash forward around 10 blocks and damage whatever behind you in a linear line. Lastly, some staffs with spells firing like the evoker teeth, some ghast charges, wither skulls, blaze rods, summoning minions, making 4x4 walls In front, explosions around you, inflicting blindness poison and starvation, etc.

Late game, they're not very good unless your using harming arrows because the crossbow damage against late game armor is minimal

[@Orcinus_Architeuthis]

@@sidr8920 In late game you will probably be using fireworks and fireworks are well……OP From my testing around 9-10 shots is enough to kill a prot IV netherite armor player and given its attack speed (0.5s load time) and how you can’t dodge it or see anything while under fire it gets pretty insane Hence, together with quick charge III, the aoe allows you to not waste time aiming allowing a rapid torrent of undodgeable, screen blinding and highly damaging barrage that will also kill your targets allies. This is not even considering stacking multiple loaded crossbows together.

[@ShakedNBaked9797]

Also one benefit I've noticed with piercing is if you don't hit the maximum number of mobs the arrow will hit the ground allowing you to pick it up. It's nice if you're low on arrows.

1 thing that I think you forgot to mention or because it is an obscure mechanic is that bows with power enchantment their arrows fly faster and have longer range because arrow damage code is based on velocity so a more powerful bow can be insane

Riptide is very effective for leaping out of water as a mix-up or travel method. I put a Riptide trident in my main hand to leap out of the water, and a Loyalty trident in my offhand to snipe enemies from above. When it’s raining, you can dash repeatedly with Riptide instead.

[@_wetmath_]

you should explain the firework crossbows in more detail. there are different crafting recipes for different types of pvp firework rockets. the rocket that does the most damage is crafted with 7 firework stars, 1 sugarcane and 1 gunpowder. conversely a rocket crafted with only 1 star instead of 7 does the least damage. additionally, i craft firework stars with 7 different coloured dyes, 1 fire charge and 1 gunpowder in order to create the most effective smokescreen to blind players who have their particles turned on. the fire charge creates a "large ball" firework star which increases the AoE damage and the animation radius edit: you already have a video on this here at kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKvMhKSjf92IbNU but you did not mention it in the video or link it in the description as of 3 hours after this video released

One tip, you can use a book with Looting III on a bow and it works. I keep all my Looting books just for bows, because you can get Looting on a sword normally. Just make sure you don't have Flame on your bow, because if the mob gets killed by the fire it won't drop more loot. The arrow needs to kill the mob for more loot. Very good for farming all sorts of things, especially in the Nether for Whither skulls and Ghast tears you can farm them from distance.

You can't put sharpness on tools??? Unless you are talking about an axe but that a 2-in-1 (weapon and tool)

[@YounesLayachi]

11:27 if I heard correctly, "With that sweeping edge effect, multiple mobs are hit at the exact same time". Swords always have the ability to to do a *Sweep attack*, hitting multiple enemies, without any enchants. The *Sweeping Edge* enchantement merely increases the damage to nearby enemies, which is substantial but many new players assume simply because bedrock does neither have sweep attack nor sweeping edge, that the two must be one and the same.

[@bamboubose]

I usually put smite on the sword and sharpness on the axe, its just a lot better for things like xp farms and the axe sharpness helps with pvp and that sort of stuff

[@CallsignYukiMizuki]

My fav is easily the Axe followed by the Bow. The thought of bashing someone's head with an axe is extremely appealing, but the fact that it's also an axe and you can cut wood with it is such a huge utility that I appreciate in my long distance adventures where inventory space is a luxury. Add this with early-mid game where 2 hits is enough to kill the average mob, and it's just perfect

I personally prefer the trident because it does a pretty decent amount of damage in melee combat, it is also good for ranged combat + you don’t need to worry about getting it back if it has loyalty, it is a great way of transportation, specially with an elytra, it is very good against water related mobs and, if it’s a thunderstorm and you’re in the overworld, you can basically become Thor + get some mob heads to show off to you’re friends (it’s also very versatile). But I do know that it has disadvantages and, to make it fair with the other weapons (not like they need it) I’m going to list them! For starters, the trident isn’t useful outside of combat (except for transportation), also it doesn’t do the most damage comparing to an axe (in melee fights) it doesn’t do the most damage in ranged fights, it is not the weapon you would like to choose for a battle against multiple mobs (unless it’s conveniently a thunderstorm in the overworld and you somehow already have the channeling enchantment ready + you’re not in another dimension) and it doesn’t have the most enchantments for increasing damage. I overall think tridents are underrated and that they are a great weapon and (my opinion) the most versatile one with the lightning, the recalling the weapon and more. Like if you think tridents are great weapons and have a nice day😉 👇👇👇

[@Orcinus_Architeuthis]

I dont see the appeal of loyalty tridents. Like sure it will be competitive with the other weapons by trading dps for versatility if you for some reason can only have one weapon. But what’s stopping you from using any combination of the other weapons with one range and one melee and immediately surpassing the loyalty trident. This is not even going to its flaws of having a heavy penalty for missing as usually when you miss the trident flies far away rendering you weaponless for quite a while until it finally returns. Additionally what if a random dropped item fill the your trident slot in your hotbar after you threw it? You will have to escape and sort your inventory which is a massive flaw for destructive mobs like the wither.

[@i_sawed_the_demons]

Straightforward and effective info, as always. Bravo!

one thing you also forgot to mention was that, if its thundering with a riptide trident you can fly with the elytra and use riptide to boost your speed to absurd amounts and move faster then creative flying and a elytra with firework rockets.

The thing i love the most about the crossbow is that it's very efficient. If you have piercing IV and you only shoot through 1-4 mobs, the arrow actually does not disappear and you can pick it back up, essentially having unlimited arrows unless you line up like 5+ mobs for the shot.

[@stevethearbalist572]

I didn't know efficiency on axes can increase the chances of disabling a shield!! 🙏

[@Orcinus_Architeuthis]

Imo the crossbow is by far the strongest simply due to its aoe potential. Every other weapon aside from the sword are ST locked and even for the sword, in order to utilise its aoe you have to lower your dmg by not critting, put yourself in a vulnerable state by walking or standing still, have to be at melee range as a melee weapon, and finally after all that you wont even get the full dmg on the other targets. Sure the other weapons are very slightly better than the crossbow (save for trident) in situational ST scenario, the moment there is more than 1 target the crossbow far surpasses all the other weapons. Additionally the ability to preload the crossbow allows it to be an on demand weapon great for capturing opportunities. It even allows powerful burst dmg through multiple crossbows (I usually carry 2 firework crossbows since all neutral/hostile mobs that are not bosses or mini-bosses die in 1-2 shots).

@@MarsStarcruiserand if you put efficiency and sharpness on your axe, it’s triple the speed of a sword. Broken.

[@MarsStarcruiser]

@@Totallysteveharvey Is it really!? Not sure if that matters though since both weapons will still have to contend with the .5 second immunity frame after each successful hit. So neither really gains any dps from attacking any faster than what they currently are at. Sad they nerfed the 4 hit range on axe down to 2.5. Buff’ing sword up to 3 to compensate, still feels kinda meh without sword sweep AoE since 3 is not enough for certain things. There isn’t a melee weapon capable of reaching dragon from regular fountain standing height, or wither floating above water from swim height anymore like axe was once capable of doing. Have to jump/bob up now for each hit greatly limiting the melee kill speed on either. Axe was especially handy before one wither, because even if you could melee it’s floating height above ground just fine, wither’s love to take out the ground underneath you with each explosion, so water killing with axe, was my consistent go-to for them.

[@Totallysteveharvey]

@@MarsStarcruiser oh I meant in bedrock, it’s very fast in bedrock. Literally it’s only saving grace. Because even though it does 1 less dmg, you can attack twice while the sword attacks once. ONLY WITH EFFICIENCY ENCHANTS. It works trust me I use it in my server everyday as a switch to weapon mainly for bosses with a lot of hearts.

[@Totallysteveharvey]

And again you can put both efficiency and sharpness on an axe at the same time. I just think it’s good for like withers and stuff. And since I’m on a single player server I’ll one v 1 the warden sometimes by spawning him in. Giving me twenty extra hearts, strength three, speed 1, regen 1, saturation 10. For about 5 hours at a time. (Using commands) Then I’ll just duke it out with some weapons and armor.

You are my favorite youtuber keep up the amazing work

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Brickticks]

A few small details you missed. Firstly, Firework Rocket Damage with a Crossbow is dependent on how many Firework Stars are in said Firework Rocket, the area of damage is based on the size of the explosion from said Firework Rocket, with larger Fireworks like a Large Ball giving of a wider range of damage effect, and the distance in which the Firework Rockets travel when fired from a Crossbow is greater than just launching them off the ground. Thus, to me at least, the best ranged weapon is a Firework Crossbow, Enchanted with Multishot, loaded with Firework Rockets assembled with at least 6 Large Ball Firework Stars and 2 Gunpowder, that way you get the best combination of good range and high yield damage. Second, I don’t think that’s right about the Stone Axe, but I could be wrong. Also, I don’t think that thing about weapons in you main hand dealing additional damage with a Riptide Trident actually works, in fact, I’m pretty sure I saw a KZbin video debunking that claim, but he could’ve been wrong too, I guess. Either way, Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

[@tx_ql-]

ight

[@niscent_]

the sword vs axe thing is pretty funny. axe got more instant damages, sword got way more dps. yet, in practice, you don't get the full benefit of attack speed in messy fights so axes tends to be slightly better. sweeping edge sword is still a godsend for what it does, having some aoe bring your total damage output way up, it's also a nice utility for basic exp farms were you have to kill or finish the monsters yourself.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thanks for the sub and hope you enjoy Minecraft!

[@BushyJJ]

@@Eyecraftmc ya your goated.. i was top confused and annoyed by all the new features added but you definitely dumbed them down for me, thank u bro bro

[@blueoceanbeats]

I like the trident, I like how it’s close and far range and how you can charge creepers, making it easy to get mob heads and in bedrock, wither skeleton skulls when strays die from an charged creeper. And oh yeah the channeling and riptide is op.

[@Antixandros]

You get bows from skeletons and strays as drops too. Also impaling on java edition doesn't work on dronwed as they are undead mobs not aquatic.

[@Heinz6432]

At 7:25 you save, that Impaling on Java does more damage to drowneds. That is actually not the case, because drowneds are considered as an undead mob, not aquatic. But still very good video.

[@Abe7171]

In general: Crossbow:5 Axe:4 Trident:3 Bow:2 Sword:1 I get around perfectly with a bow and a sword in my hotbar

[@maskedmanpkclysm5327]

yeah sword is always good in non pvp

[@Kairo-m4y]

I can’t wait for the mace in 1.21

[@dr_order]

This is video is very very useful because it looks like tutorial and actually an enchantment guide very useful and nice video 👍

[@Eyecraftmc]

Glad you like it!

[@White_Manta]

Nice 👌 great content as always

[@Eyecraftmc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MrMango-kj8id]

Love watching your videos. Keep it up!

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Official_AviationT_T]

i love eyecraftmc because he explain and make great videos but hey eyecraftmc i love......sword,trident,axe,crossbow and bow

[@markhollier1]

This information is super useful. Knowing that I’m using the best weapon is just a confidence booster in my hardcore world

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

Because we recently got the Mace, we have three Melee👞 Weapons for for Melees👞 (Sword🗡️, Axe🪓, Mace🔨), three Ranged🏹 Weapons for Rangers🏹 (Bow🏹, Crossbow❌, LC-Trident🔱), and one Flying🪽 Weapon for Flyers🪽 (R-Trident🔱). If there were two more Flying🪽 Weapons, I would add Cutting-Elytra🪽(Cutting would be added as a new enchantment), and Broom🧹 (the kind magicians are stereotyped with)!

[@Duplicitousthoughtformentity]

Bows have always been the most useful, safe, versatile weapon. Kill from safety, support allies, weaken enemies with tipped arrows. Getting an enchanted bow with Mending and Infinity is the first thing I focus on in my world, even before diamonds.

[@kadenceflorence5179]

you can't have mending and infinity on the same bow?

[@oui6614]

@@kadenceflorence5179 ye right ?

[@samuelhenrique6359]

The video delivered what the title promised, maybe a detail was missing here and there but it really was a great tutorial for those who are starting and for me that I've been playing for a long time too.

[@samuelhenrique6359]

And your videos are amazing, the content is interesting and the organization and editing of the video is also good. Thank you for your work brother .✌🏼💪🏼

[@Axera-Aisen]

Hey, i think you forgot that if you kill skeleton, there's small chance to get bow, also thanks for guides!

[@djpoppercraft9347]

It's a great guide. My only issue is that arrows can do more than 500 damage in survival Minecraft. If you construct an arrow dispenser, when the arrows are boosted by tnt, it will do 500 damage. This is because arrows do more damage based off of its speed, and that is what power does, increases the speed, increasing the range.

[@ErmalRustemi]

I Like trindet

[@john_titor716]

I personally use orange glazed terracotta for my weapon of choice

[@pixel_eyezd3805]

Actually, about impaling on the trident: it doesn’t work on drowned, as they are classified as undead

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

For the netherite ones, there are also diamond, gold, iron, Stone, add wooden ones. You'll probably get those first.

[@napalmprice9170]

It seems like the bedrock firework crossbow does not work the same. It doesnt seem to work like an impact detonation. Instead it seems to want to go the full flight duration

[@jamesnorris7047]

One effect tactic i do when using the crossbow is placing down cob webs in front of me as i move back when mobs are chasing or following to attack. Then fire a couple fireworks at em as there slowed down by the webs( i do this tactic mainly as they don't Explode on contact for me. If the mob doesn't notice me i fire a couple fireworks at them at a distance) I always keep keep sheers with mending to pick em up after and a sword for close encounters or to get Experience to repair any tools, weapons, armor with mending on. Helps alot luckily for me i can get a lot of dyes and other materials to make as many fireworks for ammo and. some other farms for other resources to make em. Funny thing is ever since i made a firework resource farms in a village i found with walls surrounding. The village i been getting more pillager patrols around that area. Its a bit worrying honestly😅

[@thanatox]

impaling also effects mobs in the rain on Bedrock

[@Manoj-MRM]

Yes

[@Eyecraftmc]

Impaling is an amazing enchantment on bedrock

Me with a hoe 😅

[@gingerfloofy]

My favorite weapon is def arrows! I like doing long-range attacks. Also I think I recall you can pick up arrows on Bedrock even if you had the infinity enchantment.

I hate myself 😭😭😭

is it just me or does Eyecraftmc sound just like Ed Kemper from Mindhunter

This tutorial is amazing , I'm definitively subing you are amazing !

[@jojoh_]

7:20 Impaling sadly does not affect Drownds because they are classified as Undead in Java Edition. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[@مگهمهمه-ق1ي]

Right. But they do work in bedro

[@Fugorsa]

@@مگهمهمه-ق1ي well, impaling in bedrock just extra damage to anything in the water.

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

Sword enchantment idea: Longsword: increases the range of the sword. Perhaps it can lengthen the texture, to.

[@abdu-allahahmedkamal4501]

It's worth mentioning upgrading fireworks with fire charges makes them stronger, with the maximum 8 charges per firework, quick charge and multishot, the crossbow is going to be an amazing weapon.

[@aftoncultistandsimp]

For me, I carry a Sword with me to places where I’ll use my farms or do a raid or something. To free up space, after all, the sword has a higher dps. My axe is used as a main weapon to sage inventory space. I use it for activities like mining and stuff where I may have to defend myself. I also bring my trident along if my bow breaks and I main the trident as a ranged weapon. I bring the bow for raids though.

[@wilhelmjtard]

My tier list for the best weapons: #5 Trident, Isn’t very useful in many situations and also doesn’t do a lot of damage, the only reason to really craft a Trident is for the two advancements you can get from it. #4 Crossbow, Very good weapon but not as good as the sword, axe or bow. Great amount of damage and is really useful late game. #3 Axe, Great early game weapon and is very useful against early game mobs. #2 Bow, Best range weapon, does a lot of damage and is very useful in almost all situations. #1 Sword, Best weapon because it can be used for so many things, it can be used to get loot, kill mobs incredibly fast and other things. It is hard to get it good early on but later on it is definitely worth it.

[@SternaRegnixTube]

What’s the difference between multi shot 1 and 2?

[@kasturhalai5838]
