Sword of Command

The  Sword of Command  is a new method to control your hired units, and it allows you to control what they're going to be fighting more directly. It was introduced in Beta 16.

Right-click while holding the sword and pointing at a target to send nearby hired units (within 8 blocks) to attack the target. You don't have to be within interacting range of the target, and you can use the sword even if there are hired units or allies between you and the target. However, the target must of course be within the units' attack range.

It is crafted with iron, bronze, and a stick, and has unlimited uses, though it cannot be used to block. It provides the same attack strength bonus as an iron sword.
