'''Smite''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:sword]]s, [[Minecraft:axe]]s, [[Minecraft:spear]]s, and [[Minecraft:mace]]s that substantially increases melee damage against [[Minecraft:undead]] mobs.

== Obtaining ==
Smite 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.

== Usage ==
Each level on a [[Minecraft:sword]], [[Minecraft:axe]], [[Minecraft:spear]], or [[Minecraft:mace]] adds {{hp|2.5}} extra damage to each hit on the following mobs:
*{{EntityLink|Zombie|Zombies}} and their variants:
**{{EntityLink|Drowned}}
**{{EntityLink|Husk|Husks}}
**{{EntityLink|Zombie Villager|Zombie Villagers}}
**{{EntityLink|Zombified Piglin|Zombified Piglins}}{{Note|In {{BE}}, 0.75% of zombified piglins are unaffected by Smite. For more information, see {{slink|Zombified Piglin|Mounting}}.}}
**{{EntityLink|Zoglin|Zoglins}}
**{{EntityLink|Zombie Horse|Zombie Horses}}
**{{EntityLink|Camel Husk|Camel Husks}}
**{{EntityLink|Zombie Nautilus|Zombie Nautiluses}}
*{{EntityLink|Skeleton|Skeletons}} and their variants:
**{{EntityLink|Stray|Strays}}
**{{EntityLink|Bogged}}
**{{EntityLink|Parched}}
**{{EntityLink|Wither Skeleton|Wither Skeletons}}
**{{EntityLink|Skeleton Horse|Skeleton Horses}}
*{{EntityLink|Phantom|Phantoms}}
*{{EntityLink|Wither|Withers}}

{{IN|BE}}, the damage is 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}} While both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition add {{hp|2.5}} per level, Bedrock Edition rounds down to the nearest whole number which makes Smite I, Smite III, and Smite V weaker than Java Edition.

=== Specific cases ===
If Smite is applied to a [[Minecraft:trident]] by use of [[Minecraft:command]]s or an [[Minecraft:anvil]] in Creative, the enchantment affects weapon's thrown projectile. If Smite is applied to a [[Minecraft:bow]] by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment affects the weapon's [[Minecraft:arrow]]s. If Smite is applied to a [[Minecraft:crossbow]] by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment affects weapon's arrows but not its [[Minecraft:firework rocket]]s.

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