An adamant claymore is a claymore of the adamant tier, made by smithing a diamond sword with adamant alloy and a smithing upgrade template. It hits harder and blocks better than the steel claymore.

This upgrade needs a smithing upgrade template; without one, the same diamond sword and alloy make an adamant sword.
Usage
Combat
It deals 9 ( × 4.5) damage at an attack speed of 1 and has 3000 durability. The adamant weapon intrinsic inflicts Weakness II for 8 to 12 seconds on every hit. Weakened mobs are what the Doom intrinsic of adamant armor detonates.[1]
Blocking
Held up with the use button, it blocks 80% of melee damage and 70% of arrow and mob projectile damage, losing durability equal to a quarter of the damage blocked. Axes disable it for as long as a shield.[2]
Intrinsics
Sharpness I, Unbreaking II and Weakness. Intrinsics are stored on the item and applied as enchantments when it enters a player's inventory.[3]
Repairing
It can be repaired in an anvil with blocks of diamond or adamant scrap. The pack resets repair costs to zero, so it can be repaired indefinitely; see Repairing.
Smelting ingredient
In a blast furnace it melts down into one adamant alloy, returning the alloy but losing the diamonds.[4]

History
| 1.03 | The vanilla netherite recipes were blocked. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | A weaponsmith now takes the item back in exchange for its alloy, so players can rebuild it with updated stats. |
| 1.12.1-alpha | The upgrade now keeps the base item's enchantments. Added the "Repaired with" tooltip. Attack speed raised from 0.5 to 1.0. Divinity was replaced with Sharpness. |
| 1.12.2 | Now inflicts Weakness. Moved to the matcha namespace; older copies can be updated with /trigger update_item. The weaponsmith takes it in a trade of its own; before, the adamant sword trade accepted any netherite sword, the claymore included.[6]
