==Diamond swords are underpowered in Minecraft==

That's it. I'm sick of this "masterwork iron sword" bullshit that's going on the Minecraft system right now. Diamond swords deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that. I myself commissioned a genuine Diamond sword in a village near my spawnpoint for 30 emeralds [that's about £600] and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even Break blocks of solid obsidian with my diamond sword.

Blacksmith villagers spend a few days working on a single Diamond sword and craft it up to a million times to produce the finest weapons known to mobkind.

Diamond swords do twice the damage of bows and are twice as durable too. Anything a pickaxe can break through, a diamond sword can break better. I'm pretty sure a diamond sword could bisect a charged creeper with a simple diagonal slash.

Ever wonder why the Zombies and skeletons never bothered conquering Minecraftia? That's right, they were too scared to fight Steve and his diamond sword of destruction. Even during the great sand war, Israphel's cultists targeted the templars with diamond swords first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? The Diamond sword is simply the best weapon in the game, and so deserves better stats in Minecraft. Here is the stat block I propose for diamond swords:

Durability: over 9000
Damage: 16 [8 hearts]

Now that seems more represenative of the cutting power of diamond swords in real life, dosen't it?

Tl;DR, Diamond swords need to do more damage in Minecraft, see my new stat block.
