Minecraft:Sharpness

Sharpness is an Minecraft:enchantment applied to Minecraft:swords, Minecraft:axes, and Minecraft:spears that increases melee damage.

Obtaining

Sharpness can be obtained from Minecraft:enchanting tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a Minecraft:raid,Template:Only books obtained by Minecraft:fishing, Minecraft:monster room chests, librarian Minecraft:villagers, and non-village Minecraft:structure loot.

Enchanting table maximum

Certain levels of Sharpness cannot be received directly through the enchanting table on certain equipment 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

Template:IN, Sharpness adds Template:Hp extra damage for the first level and Template:Hp for all subsequent levels, using the formula 0.5 * level + 0.5.

Template:IN, Sharpness adds Template:Hp extra damage for the first three levels, Template:Hp extra damage for the fourth level, and Template:Hp extra damage for the fifth level, using the formula 1.25 * level, where the value is always rounded down.

Specific cases

If Sharpness is applied to a Minecraft:trident by use of Minecraft:commands 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:arrows. 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 rockets.

Incompatibilities

Sharpness is incompatible with Minecraft:Smite, Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods, and Minecraft:Cleaving.Template:Upcoming 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:commands are used to have two or more of these enchantments on the same item, their effects stack.Template:Only
