La baguette is a joke weapon exclusive to Java Edition 23w13a_or_b resembling the iconic French bread of the same name. Its stats are identical to a wooden sword, though la baguette cannot be used to fuel furnaces.
Obtaining
One tricolore and one baguette is given to all players when French mode gets activated.
Usage
La baguette functions identically to a wooden sword. Despite appearances it is not a food item and is unrelated to regular bread.
Attacking
It can be used to damage mobs for 4HP health points. La baguette has an attack speed of 1.6 and takes 0.6 seconds to recover.
Breaking
La baguette, just like other swords, can be used to break certain blocks 50% faster. See Sword#Sword breaking times for more.
