The upgrade needs no template, and enchantments on the diamond item carry over; where both have the same enchantment, the higher level is kept.[1]
Usage
Combat
It deals 7 ( × 3.5) damage at an attack speed of 1.9, matching the diamond sword's damage at a faster swing. It has 3000 durability.
Intrinsics
Warding 3 is the highest warding on any weapon. Held warding adds up across both hands to a maximum of 3; level 4 comes only from the full electrum armor set. Intrinsics are stored on the item and applied as enchantments when it enters a player's inventory.[2]
Repairing
It can be repaired in an anvil with blocks of diamond. 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 an adamant alloy, not electrum, because electrum shares the netherite item IDs. This makes melting electrum gear a way to turn an electrum alloy into an adamant alloy.[3]

An apprentice weaponsmith buys it for one electrum alloy, so the alloy can be reused.[4]
History
| 1.03 | Electrum alloy now needs a divine fragment. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Electrum was buffed. 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 needs a base-metal item in the template slot, and the upgrade keeps the base item's enchantments. Added the "Repaired with" tooltip. Can only be repaired with blocks of diamond. |
| 1.12.2 | No longer burns in fire or lava. Smite raised from II to III.[5] Warding from held items now stacks with other held warding items. Moved to the matcha namespace; older copies can be updated with /trigger update_item.
