'''Sharpness''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:sword]]s, [[Minecraft:axe]]s, and [[Minecraft:spear]]s that increases melee damage.

== Obtaining ==
Sharpness 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.

=== Enchanting table maximum ===
Certain levels of Sharpness cannot be received directly through the enchanting table on certain equipment [[Minecraft:Tiers#Tier|tiers]], because their [[Minecraft:enchantability]] does not meet the required threshold.
* The wooden, stone, copper, iron, diamond, and netherite tiers cannot receive Sharpness V through an enchanting table.
* The golden tier is the only tier that is able to receive Sharpness V directly through an enchanting table.
Tiers that cannot receive Sharpness V can have it applied to them by use of an [[Minecraft:anvil]], or can be found naturally enchanted with it through certain [[Minecraft:structure]] loot.

== Usage ==
{{IN|je}}, Sharpness adds {{hp|1}} extra damage for the first level and {{hp|0.5}} for all subsequent levels, using the formula <code>0.5 * level + 0.5</code>.

{{IN|be}}, Sharpness adds {{hp|1}} extra damage for the first three levels, {{hp|2}} extra damage for the fourth level, and {{hp|1}} extra damage for the fifth level, using the formula <code>1.25 * level</code>, where the value is always rounded down.

=== Damage per hit ===
These tables detail how much damage is done per attack based on the level of enchantment used, assuming the target is not wearing armor and the attack is fully charged.{{only|java}}

=== Specific cases ===
If Sharpness is applied to a [[Minecraft:trident]] by use of [[Minecraft:command]]s or an [[Minecraft:anvil]] in Creative, the enchantment boosts the weapon's projectile damage, rather than [[Minecraft:Power]] having this effect. If Sharpness is applied to a [[Minecraft:bow]] by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment boosts the damage of the weapon's [[Minecraft:arrow]]s. If Sharpness is applied to a [[Minecraft:crossbow]] by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment boosts the damage of the weapon's arrows but not its [[Minecraft:firework rocket]]s.

==Incompatibilities==
Sharpness is incompatible with [[Minecraft:Smite]], [[Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods]], and [[Minecraft:Cleaving]].{{upcoming|Java Combat Tests|nocat=1}} It is also incompatible with [[Minecraft:Impaling]], [[Minecraft:Density]], and [[Minecraft:Breach]], however in Survival these incompatibilities cannot be encountered, as no weapon types have access to both Sharpness and Impaling/Density/Breach. If [[Minecraft:command]]s are used to have two or more of these enchantments on the same item, their effects stack.{{only|java}}
