Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
---|---|---|
Diamond Sword + Matching Scorpion Stings |
The diamond sword must be undamaged. Enchantments on the diamond sword do not affect the resulting scorpion sword. |
Usage[]
Attacking[]
Like any sword, pressing right-click while holding any scorpion sword will increase your damage to both mobs and players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's durability will decrease by 1.
Attacking a boat or a minecart with a scorpion sword will instantly destroy it and will not decrease the sword's durability.
Effects[]
Each type of scorpion sword causes a different potion effect when it strikes an entity:
Name | Effect |
---|---|
Dirt Scorpion Sword | Afflicts the mob or player a Poison I effect for five seconds. |
Cave Scorpion Sword | This sword gives the player/mob a nausea effect, which causes a wavy swirling screen effect for players, but it has no effect against mobs. |
Frost Scorpion Sword | Slows down the mob or player affected. |
Nether Scorpion Sword | Sets the mob/player on fire for a few seconds. |
Enchantments[]
All four scorpion swords can receive the following enchantments:
- Bane of Arthropods
- Fire Aspect
- Knockback
- Looting
- Sharpness
- Smite
- Unbreaking

Trivia[]
- Scorpion swords have a durability of 251, which is reduced from the 1562 durability of the diamond sword used to craft it. Therefore, if you're short on diamonds, scorpion swords are not very recommended.
