	Sweeping Edge increases sweep attack damage by 50%/67%/75% of the sword's attack damage ~~for levels I/II/III~~. Sweeping Edge is not required to do sweep attacks, as swords have the ability innately. Sweep attacks activate when a player standing on the ground attacks while not [[Minecraft:sprinting]] with an attack cooldown at 84.8% or above. The sweep attack damages surrounding entities that are within a 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of the attacked entity, dealing {{Hp\|1}} and knocking them back. Sweep attacks ~~do not increase damage against the attacked entity,~~ only ~~the surrounding~~ entities, and ~~Sweeping Edge does~~ not ~~change this~~.		Sweeping Edge increases sweep attack damage by <math>\frac{level}{level+1}</math> of the sword base attack damage, meaning level I, II, and III deal <math>50\,%</math>, <math>66.\overline6\,%</math>, or <math>75\,%</math> of the sword's attack damage extra. Sweeping Edge is not required to do sweep attacks, as swords have the ability innately. Sweep attacks activate when a player standing on the ground attacks while not [[Minecraft:sprinting]] with an attack cooldown at 84.8% or above. The sweep attack damages surrounding entities that are within a 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of the attacked entity, dealing {{hp\|1}} and knocking them back. Sweep attacks and Sweeping Edge only affect sorrounding entities and not the attacked one.

	The formula for sweep attack damage is: <~~code~~>1 + ~~Base_Damage × (Sweeping_Edge_Level / (Sweeping_Edge_Level~~ + 1)) + ~~Enchantment_Damage~~</~~code~~>. ~~Here,~~ ''~~Base_Damage~~'' is the sword's damage before applying enchantments, and ''~~Enchantment_Damage~~'' is the damage ~~bonus from~~ [[Minecraft:Sharpness]], [[Minecraft:Smite]], and [[Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods]] for the target. For example, an iron sword enchanted only with Sweeping Edge I deals <code>1 + 6 × (1 / (1 + 1)) = {{hp\|4}}</code> damage to each mob hit with a sweep attack. A diamond sword enchanted with Sharpness V and Sweeping Edge III deals <code>1 + 7 × (3 / (3 + 1)) + 3 = {{hp\|9.25}}</code> sweep damage. A sword without Sweeping Edge but with Sharpness V would deal <code>1 + Base_Damage × (0 / (0 + 1)) + 3 = {{hp\|4}}</code>. Extra damage from Smite and Bane of Arthropods is applied against undead mobs and arthropod mobs, respectively, based on the type of the sweep target (not the main target).

'''Sweeping Edge''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:sword]]s that increases [[Minecraft:sweep attack]] damage. This only affects the damage of the sweep attack against other surrounding entities, and does not increase damage against the entity that is attacked directly. Sweeping Edge is not required to do sweep attacks, as swords have the ability innately.{{Until|java Combat Tests|nocat=1}}

== Obtaining ==
Sweeping Edge can be obtained from [[Minecraft:enchanting tables]]. Enchanted books with Sweeping Edge can be obtained by [[Minecraft:fishing]], from [[Minecraft:monster room]] and ocean ruins chests, from [[Minecraft:librarian]] [[Minecraft:villager]]s, and as non-village [[Minecraft:structure]] loot.

== Usage ==
Sweeping Edge increases sweep attack damage by 50%/67%/75% of the sword's attack damage for levels I/II/III. Sweeping Edge is not required to do sweep attacks, as swords have the ability innately. Sweep attacks activate when a player standing on the ground attacks while not [[Minecraft:sprinting]] with an attack cooldown at 84.8% or above. The sweep attack damages surrounding entities that are within a 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of the attacked entity, dealing {{Hp|1}} and knocking them back. Sweep attacks do not increase damage against the attacked entity, only the surrounding entities, and Sweeping Edge does not change this.

== Damage ==
The formula for sweep attack damage is: <code>1 + Attack_Damage × (Sweeping_Edge_Level / (Sweeping_Edge_Level + 1))</code>, rounded to the nearest integer. Here, ''Attack_Damage'' is the sword's damage after applying [[Minecraft:Sharpness]], [[Minecraft:Smite]], and [[Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods]]. For example, an iron sword enchanted only with Sweeping Edge I deals <code>1 + 6 × (1 / (1 + 1)) = {{hp|4}}</code> damage to each mob hit with a sweep attack. A diamond sword enchanted with Sharpness V and Sweeping Edge III deals <code>1 + 10 × (3 / (3 + 1)) = {{hp|8.5}}</code> sweep damage. Any sword without Sweeping Edge deals <code>1 + Attack_Damage × (0 / (0 + 1)) = {{hp|1}}</code> sweep damage. Extra damage from Smite and Bane of Arthropods is applied against undead mobs and arthropod mobs, respectively.

Higher levels than Sweeping Edge III (obtainable via the use of [[Minecraft:commands]] or third party editors) are processed following the formula above. The sweeping damage ratio caps at +1 (100% of the sword's base damage), which is achievable with an enchantment level of 199.
