Were you surprised by the results? What should I try next? Let me know!

If anyone thinks these swords are too heavy to be useful, remember, Steve is scaled to be just as chunky as them. Steve is a two meter tall organism of absolute destruction. With 9 inch thick arms.

Considering that Steve takes a few hits to break through the skulls of most mobs, I think the one that you made is actually stronger than Steve's

"Could getting hit with this large rock attached to this stick kill you?" Yes. Thank you science.

I would have liked to see a sharp version of the pixelated sword. :/ But, hey, they work WAY better than I expected. Also... Edge allignment. It was improper alignment of the motion, rather than lack of mass, that was impairing the cuts of the smaller stone sword.

While i was expecting these things to destroy shit due to the pure weight behind them, im kinda shocked how clean some of the cuts came out and more importantly they didnt just explode when they hit the wood or coconut. I wonder if they have the same durability as the in game sword.

Please remember too, these sword weights are impractical irl, but can be one-handedly swung around by Steve

Doesn't really surprise me that Steve can swing such a big heavy sword since he is 6'5, a meter thick from shoulder to shoulder(presumably all with pure muscle), and probably super thick front to back... Steve is an absolute unit!

Something important to remember is that a Minecraft sword doesn't cut anything besides cobwebs, it just knock backs enemies and dose some damage. So Minecraft swords is correct irl, however it is not meant for irl use.

Given how Steve has been previously established to have superhuman strength, V2 might unironically be a legitimately effective sword. Well, the sheer mass might make him fly off his feet when swinging if he's not heavy enough, but still.

Paper doesn't beat rock any more

Could a large, sharpened slab of stone kill a person when they're struck by it? ... I'll risk a guess and say yeah, it probably could

Gotta keep edge alignment in mind (Louis isn't a trained swordsman so can't blame him), but the first cut with the $20 sword could have gone all the way through with proper edge allignment

Interestingly, during the early days of the bronze age someone tried making an obsidian sword to keep up with the times (bronze allowed for much longer knives/early swords) in Denmark. The obsidian was in sections, since making a whole blade out of it would have been impossible. Sort of like a Macuahuitl but much more sword-like. So you _can_ make a stone sword and people have clearly tried in the past, its just far from ideal.

I'm starting to take Louis' success in these Minecraft videos for granite. Betting against him figuring out a way to make it work is counter productive.

"There's no way to shape granite in a controlled way" Laughs in bronze age Egypt 🤣

Comment before watching the video: Even if it isn't sharp enough, I'm pretty sure you could use it like a blunt weapon (like a Bat, for example) After: I think it may have been nicer for your habds if you made handlers too, since the three MC Swords are pure granyte

It’s probably a *terrifying* thought knowing very well Minecraft Steve is 6’6 with 9 inch wide arms.. or maybe I’m just bad at math.

It would have been hilarious to go back to the store and bring the swords with you, just to say that they worked really well.

6:27 Bro i think you enchanted that sword with knockback 3

Considering the fact that steve is absurdly strong (like muscular ability) in the game, the sword design is actually not that absurd. It would be a better idea to do the sword diagonally the other way (so that the blade edge is a corner), but it's not half bad tbh.

Minecraft swords are basically 2 handed great-swords used using only one hand Also I feel like you would crush more then cut with then , still as deadly tho

Happy I could help with the project, the outcome was awesome

with an attack speed of 1.6 swings per second Steve is definitely the strongest video game character, barely above Gordon Freeman with his crowbar swing speed

hes only got 4 more to do now iron: would work pretty well gold: too heavy, soft, and expensive, and would definitely need to be on a smaller scale diamond: obviously expensive, and although it is strong, it will still shatter when the angle is right. netherite: ???

Heavy objects with sharp edges usually cut pretty well. Neat to see video game logic working. Steve must be jacked.

i think if you do a vs wood sword comparison you should test to see what it takes to break these badboys. since steve can parry with swords in game they need to be able to resist force applied to them, and you'd need to test their sheer strength width ways too. incredible result none the less!

the serated edge is because the sword is tilted, just like the compass, so it does actually look more like the 2nd sword

Amazing video Louis! I am pretty damn shocked none of them broke in half during the downward swing and came flying back into the air. Love how much effort you went through getting in touch with the countertop manufacturers. I'm sure that's a "once in their career" type story they'll have for the rest of their life about some nut coming in with design files for granite swords.

Ahh yes, the long awaited Minecraft Stone sword! Now onto making that diamond one...

8:37 Spin Attack!

4:11 thats not a sword, thats a machete

This was dope. I figured they would do well, but I never would've guessed they would do "that" well. Gg broski.

Im amazed at how well you were able to control the swords. I feel like I'd miss the targets most of the time and even if I do eventually hit it it wouldn't be as clean as yours.

What I love about these type of videos is problem solving aspect inorder to get to the finished product

I really enjoy your minecraft experiment! keep the good work man.

You should get an exoskeleton like Allen Pan so you can more easily swing the sword. I think it would be interesting to see the kind of damage it could do if it wasn’t so unwieldy.

Louis should start a Minecraft channel solely for these Minecraft IRL videos

7:50 As an A-Level Physics student, don’t worry! This isn’t dumb, it’s Newton’s Second Law! F=ma, Force = Mass * Acceleration

I remember being a kid and breaking rocks with rocks. I think I found out that granite was the strongest, as it had broken all the others or tied, that was fun to do then.

This implies that Steve is a tall Buff dude capable of carrying a hundred kilograms and punch trees into dust

This guy is so aggressive with that sword, he probably thinks he can respawn.😂

Yet more proof that Steve is a god - He can casually swing a giant piece of stone without tiring or losing balance

I actually love the design of the v3 sword, it's really sleek and cool looking!

1:03 remember folks, granite is used in the making of Egyptian pyramids, statues, monoliths and temples. That rock is TOUGH.

I enjoy these videos where you try to make something in-game work irl

6:54 I imagine those drivers inside their cars, seeing Louis doing some wacky stuff and we're like "holy moly what is this guy doing"

nice i like how much research you did well done

Despite the poor performance, v1 looked so cool. Great job!

Louis you made the swords out of pure granite but the recipe for a stone sword is 2 granite:1 stick

Minecraft Steve would be a TERRIFYING presence on the gladiatorial battlefield. Imagine the a 6'3" man WITH 9 INCH WIDE ARMS comes out wielding one of THESE monstrosities, but made of black Hellmetal, takes a bite out of a gold plated apple, sprints towards you at twelve miles an hour(20 KMH) And jumps a solid METER(3 feet) into the air from 4 meters away to come slamming this monster of a weapon down through your soul. Minecraft Steve is Terrifying.

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting the V2 to work that well. Like, I assumed a lot of blunt strength, sure, but the fact that it sliced so cleanly even at slow speeds (slow compared to real swords, I mean) was very surprising. Not practical by any stretch, of course, but very cool to see. Also, I'm a big fan of the V3 design, nice work on that as well 👍

Man please make some blue lanterns or soul torches sometimes. I love watching you analyzing hidden and looped aspects and making things work. 🤣😂💙 Great video as always man

Damn those swords are rock hard 😳

love it when local businesses get involved with youtuber projects

Thing is, normally you wouldnt make such big swords, but steve has so much power that the speed of swinging big swords is no different to swinging smaller swords

now make a diamond version

I was expecting for you make the the actual swords that you can hold instead of grabbing them with 2 hands. Love the video anyways! Keep up the amazing work!

Friend: What are you doing? Me:Nothing, just stabbing people to see if my sword works

8:27 bro did an 360 noscope but used a SWORD

What a stone cold blade

Time to speedrun irl

"That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of stone."

"If you hit someone in the head with a rock enough times will they die?" Like it's really obvious the wood and stone swords in minecraft don't cut anything, they just bludgeon.

I'd love to be this guy's neighbor. His personality is positively infectious and can you imagine the free fruit??

10:40 but a diamond sword wont work, it will just shatter like a glass sword

Considering the fact, that Steve can carry several milions tons, and still runing, first sword might actualy be one handed weapon of mass destruction

Looking at this has made me realize steve uses great swords like sabers

MLG CUT 8:00

I love how there's traffic in the background watching him swing the the swords

I think on some of the horizontal ballistic gel tests the swords were hitting the middle nail, thus stopping them from going further since they're being stopped. Not 100% sure, but looking at some of the footage it sure looks like it.

"Can Stone Swords actually kill you?" That's a dumb question because hitting you with a stone sword would be like hitting you with a stone The true question is: could a stone sword actually cut you?

im sure you can find some way to kill someone with a giant rock i dont think this was ever really a question; but still, this is a really great video! Awesome stuff!

Reminder how quickly he swings that too, that would be terrifying

Nice experiment but what I think is you need to practice edge alignment first with a proper blade. So your swings would be more consistent.

tbh if you were going for an actual practical form for a sword made of stone, i say a short sword that's thin and mostly made for thrusting is the way to go, maybe made out of the same material, but also you could include a slightly serrated edge like on stone knives for cutting into flesh

@Louis Weisz this is just a tease. Did you know that each cube in minecraft is a 1 cubic meter long or about 3 cubic feet. comparing the normal minecraft sword to it, it's about 2 thirds of the block which is about 2 feet and or about 0.6 meters long, so about the normal length of a sword 60 centimeters.

"I'm going to sleep early today" Also me at 2am :

You were hitting the nail with some of those ballistic gel tests

Why is this so amazing for some reason

“Anything could kill anyone, any time, in the right hands”

The V2's blade of one of them looks like the Dragonslayer from Berserk.

Just remember, Steve can wield it in one hand and still sprint and run perfectly

I envy you, doing this kind of wacky science experiments is the dream.

its like asking "are you able to die from anything?"

Just imagine a burglar trying to break in and is met with someone holding one of these 😂 It's unintentionally probably a bullet proof shield, one whack to any part of his body is just going to completely ruin his skeleton, and if he's on the ground trying to crawl away, he could probably throw this on top of him and pin him down to the ground like Thor did with Loki that one time.

7:03 So she said

7:40 yep thats the law of physics

You should try making all 16 minecraft dyes from their respective or approximate irl ingredients. Then attempt to dye/stain white wool.

When you cut the pineapple in half, and it just stayed in one play lol It's like the old waiter pulling the table cloth out from under the setting gag

This is like the reincarnation of the Mythbusters. Awesome work.

Cool video you did a great work.for the dimension I think that you should have use the one of the commercials which are more realistic to the real world. There are 1 inch for one pixel (for tool). In the game the dimensions tend not to consistent like size of Steve is realistic but the item not really.

Steve and Alex must be super strong to hold anything in the game with one hand and swing it like it’s air.

The sword you designed looks absolutely killer!!

I cannot imagine the sheer terror one must feel upon seeing some dude shredding through things with a minecraft sword in the darkness of the night

The V2 reminds to how the stone sword looks in Minecraft with one of the most popular texture packs but in a better condition (Idk how the texture pack is called, but I remember that it made the villagers look like Star Wars's desert traders)

"Sure it matters who has the biggest stick but it matters one hell of a lot more who's swinging it"

Ngl I was very surprised they held together and actually cut things

Cool video, i was really shocked it worked so well

Reminds me of a bit of history. There was a city in mesoamerica called teoitihuacan (pardon my dead language) whose art centered not on the divine, but the people. This was because the only deity there was the almighty dollar (adjacent thingy). The city was based around an obsidian mine, with that stone being used to cut everything from foes to avocados. The stone was also (surprisingly) fragile, so everyone in the area had to keep buying replacements, leading to a nigh perpetual source of resources in what would otherwise be a meager town. Problems arose due to the ones at the top of the (steppe) pyramid abusing their wealth, leading to a violent coup by the lower class. Afterwards, everyone left the city for their old homes, leaving the entire complex to be swallowed by the jungle. Cool bit of history, shame we can’t learn from it🙃
