An adamant claymore is the adamant claymore, made by smithing a diamond sword with adamant alloy and a smithing upgrade template. It is the strongest melee weapon in the pack and blocks better than the steel claymore.

matcha:smithing/adamant_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.

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 | Smithing no longer takes an ingot in the template slot, and the upgrade 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.
