Notes

Attack damage of 12.0 is higher than a Netherite sword (8.0) — adjust to fit your server’s balance
Attack speed of -2.4 makes it slightly slower than a vanilla sword (-2.4 = 1.6 hits/sec)
The max_damage of 500 gives it about 3x the durability of an iron sword
The tool component enables efficient mining of sword-appropriate blocks (cobwebs, bamboo)
