But it's very good against undead mobs (zombies, skeletons). Probably 60r I'd say but I need a professional opinion.
i would say 100 at the most, cause you probably only used like 5 or 6 lvls on it, and as bob said, gold has the same use count as wood tools
Are you sure? I used a mod that allows you to see how many uses you have left, and they had the same number of uses
Well you should use gold for the things that are useful not the things that were never meant to be made out of gold. Like powered rails for example.
Well the sword has more uses than the hoe, but then again minecraftwiki says you can't craft a saddle, so I am skeptical.
I've done it before, and people on YouTube have done it before, are you sure? Maybe in an update since 1.0 they removed it?
