Well, I agree with you. The fact that is has sharpness doesn't matter at all. There is a bug which happens when you hit a mod and then quickly hit it again, it actually won't take any damage because it was VERY recently hit. BUT even though the mob won't take any damage the sword durability will decrease.

Still on hard 1 damage point per hit.

Okay, I tried 2 hits on a creeper (Sharpness 3) and saw that my sword took 3 uses... It might be because of the lag.

Same as Kumasasa's.

And your results?

Comment by Tails [ 21/Jan/13 ]

That's what I tried in first place.

Comment by +merlan #flirora [ 21/Jan/13 ]

Try it on Hard.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 21/Jan/13 ]

Normal.

Comment by +merlan #flirora [ 21/Jan/13 ]

What difficulty?

Comment by Kumasasa [ 21/Jan/13 ]

Cannot reproduce either.
Killed 2 zombies by a brandnew Sharpness V Diamond sword with 2 hits each. Damage of sword was 1557 of 1561 = 4 hits.
