Swords are melee weapons in BedWars. They can be bought from the Item Shop, unless the player is using the Barbarian, Adetunde, Yuzi, or Hephaestus kit.
Obtaining[]
Swords can be bought from Item Shop and can be upgraded. An emerald sword can only be obtained once the Emerald Era is reached. When a player is killed, they will respawn with a wood, stone, iron sword or diamond sword, depending on their team's era.
While in the spectator box, each player will be given a wood sword.

Emerald shield[]

The emerald shield.
As a part of the emerald sword's function, the player will have an emerald shield alongside the aforementioned weapon. The emerald shield will block one attack before breaking, negating all damage and effects. After the shield has been used, the player is able to deal critical damage with the first hit of the emerald sword. The shield regenerates after 30 seconds.

Trivia[]
- There are two technical variants of the emerald sword and diamond sword. This is due to the emerald sword's emerald shield function being enabled in normal matches and disabled in OG BedWars.
- Although the reason for the diamond sword variants remains unknown.
- Every sword appearance is the same (except Void, Emerald, Light Sword, Infernal Saber and the Rageblade), the only difference is that the color variants and textures of the element the sword is composed of.
- Before a certain update, players with kits would spawn with a stone sword and players without will spawn with a wood sword in the spectator box.
- Players were able to drop swords when the game was released, but this has since changed.
- Upon purchasing the emerald sword, there is a glitch where players keep their previous sword.
- In the October 23, 2021 update, Diamond and Emerald Swords was changed so they can be bought after purchasing the Armory with 4 Diamonds
.
- This upgrade was removed in the June 23, 2023 update.
- The model of the sword from Bedwars was used later in the other game by Easy.gg, Islands using a different swinging animation to Bedwars.
- The old Islands swinging animation was used for Bedwars but later replaced with an updated version in Islands.
- Emerald sword is the first weapon to get an additional equipment, being the Emerald shield, also making it the first dual wield item.
- The normal Sword models closely resemble Long Swords and Arming Swords.
