'''Knockback''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:sword]]s and [[Minecraft:spear]]s that increases melee [[Minecraft:Knockback (mechanic)|knockback]].<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
Knockback can be obtained from [[Minecraft:enchanting tables]], drops from mobs that have spawned in a [[Minecraft:raid]],{{only|bedrock}} books obtained by [[Minecraft:fishing]], [[Minecraft:monster room]] chests, librarian [[Minecraft:villager]]s, and non-village [[Minecraft:structure]] loot.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Knockback increases horizontal melee knockback by 2.586 blocks per level. The base knockback of attacks without the enchantment and without doing a [[Minecraft:sprint-knockback attack]] is 1.552 blocks, causing an attack with Knockback II to deal 6.724 blocks of knockback.{{more information needed|What about with sprint-knockback attacks?}} Knockback also increases vertical melee knockback from 0.8125 blocks to 1 block, regardless of the level of enchantment. Sword [[Minecraft:sweep attack]]s are affected by the Knockback enchantment. The increased knockback from this enchantment stacks with sprint-knockback attacks.<br />
<br />
Spear charge attacks done using a spear in the offhand{{only|je}} do not apply Knockback.<ref>{{bug|MC-304406||The Knockback enchantment on spears does not work if the spear is in your off hand|Unresolved}}</ref> If an attack from a Knockback weapon is blocked by a [[Minecraft:shield]], the knockback effect doesn't apply in {{JE}} but does in {{BE}}. By use of [[Minecraft:command]]s to increase the level of enchantment beyond II, the enchantment has diminishing returns when attacking [[Minecraft:player]]s but not when attacking [[Minecraft:mob]]s. {{IN|JE}}, players can hit [[Minecraft:armor stand]]s back with the Knockback enchantment, but not {{in|BE}}. [[Minecraft:Damage|Damage immunity]] provides immunity to the Knockback enchantment.<br />
<br />
=== Specific cases ===<br />
If Knockback is applied to a [[Minecraft:trident]] by use of [[Minecraft:command]]s or an [[Minecraft:anvil]] in Creative, the enchantment functions when using the weapon's melee attack but not when using its ranged attack.<br />
<br />
== Resistant mobs ==<br />
* [[Minecraft:Squid]] and [[Minecraft:glow squid]] are resistant to knockback when outside of water.<br />
* [[Minecraft:Iron golem]]s, [[Minecraft:warden]]s and [[Minecraft:shulker]]s are completely unaffected by knockback.<br />
* [[Minecraft:Agent]]s and [[Minecraft:NPC]]s are invulnerable and completely unaffected by knockback.<br />
