Trivia

 * The Diamond Sword is often seen in many places due to it being the most popular item in Minecraft.
 * Therefore, it is often featured in pop culture.
 * One example is it being the cursor for the Minecraft Pocket Edition Wiki.
 * It is the most expensive sword to craft, but makes up for this by its strength.
 * Before 0.12.1 the diamond sword dealt one less damage point than right now, because in earlier versions of Minecraft PE the damage strength of weapons replaced the player's melee damage instead of adding to it.
 * Because of this, it was more difficult to disable a Silverfish spawner in a Stronghold because it couldn't kill Silverfish in one hit like right now, in addition to the fact that enchantments weren't added until 0.12.1.
