Something to note with Flame or Fire Aspect - it commonly removes the Looting enchantment, as a fire kill doesn't always count as a player kill. There is also the fact that when fighting Zombies, they can light you on fire. Putting flame on a bow makes the most common form of music disc obtaining (simply running around at night, shooting creepers to low health, then kiting a skeleton to killing them) even more difficult.
Funny enough I've been converging on the smite-sword sharpness-axe on my own quite recently as well, My only issue with the sharpness being on the axe is that looting is only available on swords, and as you've shown the only mobs hostile worth looting are the zombie pigman and drowned (holding tridents mostly, but the nautilus shells could come in useful) but you don't encounter those mobs as ubiquitously as you do zombies and skeletons, except for within farms for them, where you could have an alternate sword available. Being able to use looting on squids and endermen and witches and pillagers and ghasts makes a huge difference when you don't have farms for them, and that may be the only reason I still have and regularly use my sharpness sword. If you could put looting on an axe though I doubt I would carry a sword anymore, and I'd frankly consider the wind-up time of the axe when switching to it it's biggest hindrance. Plus, i'd consider Silk Touch a must if you work with mushroom blocks, leaves, or beehives. However I have been loving the ohkos in my survival world and I'm switching my sword and axe out on an hourly basis sometimes just to see which enchant I like the most. i think there might be an edge to swords in DPS but if you play around having the longer swing time of the axe you do just fine. Also, i'm super surprised that after watching this video it turns out it's 30 minutes long, but more surprised that you made all 30 minutes informative and important to watch, considering its only about 4 and a half weapons, after all.
glad you stuck with it... always a balance between trying to get all the information out vs running to long. You may also want to check out my Armor video and Weapon video done in this same style (check the playlist to see the most recent ones). As for the looting issue... you are not wrong, however, by the time you have the proper setup to make these maxed out weapons you likely have a farm for those things (or enough of them that you are not hurting for them), and as I showed the smite is not really that much worse than the sharp even on the undead mobs.
If you hold your looting sword in your off-hand, you'll still get the bonus, even if you kill it with your axe. I tend to stick looting on a wood sword, just to flex.

I think it's worth noting that specialty arrows don't work with infinity, they still get used. Furthermore the tipped arrows can be gotten without ridiculous potion brewing efforts, they can be traded with master level fletcher villagers.
@@SeaOfPixels on bedrock the healing arrows don't even get used up... without piercing. So you just tap shot a bow straight up and bam you're fully healed and get the arrow back. Ever wonder why we call it bugrock?
*Important:* If you have piercing in your crossbow and use a potion arrow, you won't lose the arrow if you go to pick it up, basically you have a weaker infinity with any arrows. So you can use heal, damage, turtle master and glowing arrows as much as you want.
Unless I am mistaken, instant harming tipped arrows does not stack on top of power damage. -? I think in some versions of MC, you can even do less damage with a fully drawn bow - because the arrow damage does not allow the effect to take place. I really like instant harming arrows because they are great for quick-spamming shots that do heaps of damage (probably useful for PVP).
I guess some would say that smite is better than sharpness, but smite does only affect a few mobs, but sharpness affects all. I just can't bring myself to swap
@@EagleEye621 i am on bedrock edition and on bedrock swords still do more damage then swords(the axe on bedrock does only 1 hitpoint less and it would take up less inventory space but 1. i want the looting effect and 2. i dont always have my axe and shovel on my hotbar because i then have more free space and i can have some gaps on my hotbar)
Finally a Minecraft content provider who clearly explains everything, with examples. Golden rule of learning, the more ways you teach, the more people you reach. Brilliant tutorial and thank you so much :)
I will be honest with you all about the netherite axe and sword. When u are using smite 5 on either of them It's so much fun just to run around and 1 tap every undead mob in the face , man these weapons are incredible
The Instant Damage 2 Arrow becomes a more viable option if you have a Fletcher villager trade for tipped arrows. I was able to get a weakness arrow from one that I used to get cure discounts for my villagers.
You can get tipped arrows from Fletcher villagers and you will be able to pick them up again after hitting a mob with a piercing crossbow. This allows for "infinite" tipped/spectral arrows.
The first time I got a Fletcher to be a Master he offered Arrows of Strength. Traded for a full stack of them without thinking about it. I keep them in a chest in a corner, to not think about.
I just saw you wanted me to comment what I carry! I always carry my sword with: Sharpness 5, Fire Aspect 2, Unbreaking 3, Mending, Knockback 2, and Looting 3. Then I also carry a bow with: Power 5, Punch 2, Infinity, Unbreaking 3, and Flame. I carry one arrow to go with that bow. When going out to fight mobs for loot I carry, my sword, my bow, a trident with Implaing 5, Mending, Unbreaking 3, Channeling, and loyalty 3. I carry another Trident with Implaing 5, Mending, Unbreaking 3, and Riptide 3. I also carry a crossbow with: Mending, Quick Charge 3, unbreaking 3, and Piercing 4. I know I have OP weapons so, don't let me get started on my Armor! Lol :p
29:52 not really until tipped arrows are patched (famous MC-107856) otherwise you could be using them to one-shot kill shulkers. Gossip says Combat Update v3 patches this bug, but we're in v5 so far and still no plans to merge it with vanilla so time will tell
Here’s the thing stoping me from having axe as a weapon: Looting III I want looting on most of the mobs I kill. So smite sword will help get more wither skeletons/gold. But sharpness will help on the other mobs like blaze/illagers. Can’t decide if I main smite sword or smite axe :(
EagleEye621 I wrote that while watching the video. Now in convinced to use smite sword and sharp axe :) Still will put an sharp 5 looting sword at the end Portal xD
I find it interesting that you included the hp of the wither on bedrock even though a large amount of this video doesn't apply to bedrock. In bedrock: - impaling applies to any mob as long as it's in the water or rain (thrown impaling V can 1hk creepers which only have 18hp! Makes it harder to get charged creepers though) - no sweeping edge - axes actually do less damage than swords (doesn't mean sharpness is a bad idea) - sharpness increases damage twice as much. Sharp V netherite sword is 14 damage, w/ crit is 21, making sharpness much more viable on bedrock. - no weapon cool down. This is actually huge as it means eg a sharp 3 netherite sword will ALWAYS 1hko a cave spider, so long as at least one attack connects. Also it's possible to get 3 hits on a creeper before it explodes (which will kill if stock iron sword or higher) - "rocket launcher" crossbows are 99.9% useless given the fact that THE ROCKETS DON'T EXPLODE ON IMPACT. - if you're using a controller it's much harder to aim, so it's worth noting that crossbows actually have better accuracy than bows, and can shoot more often. (if anyone wants to argue that in xxx game they have just as good accuracy with sticks vs mouse, I will happily point out that xxx game almost certainly assists the aim of stick users in order to make it fair) - you can craft tipped arrows by putting the potion in a caldron and using the arrows on it. If the caldron is full, you get an entire stack, without needing any gunpowder or dragon breath. - no spectral arrows, but there's potions of decay (wither effect, creative only) Anyways, hopefully this doesn't come across as rude, just wanting to add what I can.
not rude at all... I don't have/play bedrock so don't know and don't pretend to know all of the differences. Just thought it was a neat little fact to throw in. Very nice breakdown of the differences :)
@@EagleEye621 I honestly don't blame you. Would not recommend bedrock to any technical player. There's some things that are fun to exploit, but overall it's still riddled with bugs and the most important things for technical survival are nonexistent. Only reason I play it is switch is playable in bed, plus my family likes to play it at the end of the day.
@@EagleEye621 The reason a lot of players prefer bedrock because its so weird and glitchy that i makes fun and can sometimes be a little challenge like if for example villagers just disapear (i lost my mending villager that way)
@@EagleEye621 yeah that's why I don't bother you for not playing it. Though to be fair, it's mostly just pistons and hoppers that are inconsistent. I haven't done it yet, but it's actually theoretically possible to make a consistent instant dropper line.
Glad I watched this. I always kept a Smite Sword around for the Nether and I upgraded mine to Netherite and saw how OP it was. I hadn't considered doing Sharpness on the Axe as that makes a lot more sense in 1.16 as you explained.
EagleEye621, the person that is singlehandedly making me change the way I play for the better. The beauty I find in these videos is in shaking up play style and notions that had settled in over time without data. I used to carry a sharp five sword, and have smite five on the axe; and I must say it's not always more comfortable, but it is more comfortable in most of the situations thus far. I think I may give two swords a try too, but a sharpness axe has come in super handy too.
in fairness, before netherite was a thing the sharp sword with smite axe was the way to go... but happy to be spreading the news that it is time for people to update :)
I like your idea of putting Smite 5 on a netherite sword and Sharpness 5 on a netherite axe. I think the only reason I think I might not use that is that you can't one-shot creepers and blazes with the axe, and it's a three-shot with the sword, overall making them more of a pain to deal with. I guess you could use a bow to do most of the damage, tho. I think I'll make myself a Smite 5 netherite sword and test it out to see which one I like more. The only reason I use a crossbow is for piercing. As long as you hit fewer than 5 mobs at once, you won't lose your arrow and can pick it up. This works with tipped arrows, so you can apply the same effect repeatedly without losing as many tipped arrows. (Making this a good way to cure villagers.) Also, you are able to get tipped arrows from fletcher villagers, with both their final trade and with hero of the village. Obviously, this still doesn't make them quite as easy to get as normal arrows, but it definitely is cheaper than using dragon's breath.
you can crit with your sword with creepers since you rarely have more than one at a time... but I like using bows to deal creepers. true about the arrows... which is a great tip
ive discovered that if you kill a stray it has a chance of dropping a slowness tipped arrow so ive started collecting them in my survival world in a snow biome
you can two shot it with an sharp axe... and if you use fire it is a two shot with smite as well. Also... given that comment, I really hope you watched the video I dropped today :)
Ohm dude this is literally the most helpful video on the Internet, from the way you organized the tiff in the chest for our leisure’s to the charts, absolutely amazing, completely genius, I hope you get millions of subscribers in compensations for your time and services.
Srzly speaking, i didn't knew so finely all these nuances of effects on self defense. My thought was quite like yours, Smite vs Sharpness vs Trident actually depends on who you are facing the most on crowds. My thought is to have a Smite perfect sword for the Overworld and a Sharpness one for the Nether unless gold or wither farming, Trident goes with the Overworld exploration gear.
not unreasonable to have farm specific swords... indeed I specifically make a non-looting sword for my enderman xp farm since pearls are actually problematic
@@EagleEye621 😅 I shoot bats into caves and made a building with bone blockd, to waste some of the arrows and bones my mob farm produces. I made it for drops and now it's just a mending station. Should I remake it, would have just one floor with all spawns and other 4 only for creepers. I will never have too much gunpowder.
Best Sword for Wither and Ender Dragon-Smite V Sweeping Edge III Knockback II Fire Aspect II Mending Unbreaking III Looting III Best Sword for Normal Mobs-Sharpness V Sweeping Edge III Knockback II Fire Aspect II Mending Unbreaking III Looting III also Best Sword for Spiders Cave Spiders Endermites and Silverfish Here it is Bane of Arthropods V Sweeping Edge III Knockback II Fire Aspect II Mending Unbreaking III Looting III
Is it possible to make a sword in 1.16.3 in survival with Sharpness 5, Sweeping Edge 3, Looting 3, Unbreaking 3, Knockback 1 and Mendig? I tried it, but it doesn't worked.
31:20 You can with fletchers which are easy to level up cause one of the trades are sticks And when you level fletcher up to master then it will give you an random specialty arrow.
Woah thank god another upload! I kept browsing for the notification all day.. Might be meta but I carry 1 set of smite 5 for wither and gold farms, then sharpness as an all around of course. Oh and my pet zombies each have their own Sharpness 5 diamond swords too (they like to harass my librarians when I let them loose ;)
Thank you very much!!! There was a lot of misconception in my server and debates whether Smite V should be on the sword or the axe. You also gave an in-depth sight in damage and that is also very important... +1 Sub :)
Piercing affects armor aswell, so if you play on a pvp server your crossbow with piercing deals more damage to fully geared enemies. Each level of piercing gives you 5% armor penetration, piercing V therefore gives you 25% armor penetration.
After some testing in the new combat snapshot (6). I am pretty sure this setup in the video is still the best. especially for PvE maybe even better. Smite 5 netherite still one shots every undead mob, and sharpness axe still can one shot all those mobs under 20 health. Not sure whether this now seems too OP as attacks are now faster, yet netherite has hardly weakened.
yeah... this is PvE ... when the final combat update comes out will do an update for that... but don't think that will change the advice for your general play
Eh, smite still feels like a massive waste of an enchantment. Sure, axes do more overall damage, but they're still slower than swords, which is the main driving factor that makes axes far less consistent to me. I'd much rather have a weapon that is useful in any situation as opposed to one that's useful in a handful of situations regardless of how common that situation is. It doesn't matter that axes can deal more damage; they're so slow it's barely worth pulling one out. The time it takes for an axe to be drawn is around the same as three sword hits, so unless you're trying to disable a shield it's simply not worth your time. Just like how blast, projectile, and fire protection are made redundant by the mere existence of protection, bane and smite are irrelevant solely due to the existence of sharpness. If it affects everything, then it's automatically the most useful.
if you see the matchups I go through... the smite is still fine against the other mobs, by way of the fact that the sharpness doesn't do noticeably better in most circumstances
@@EagleEye621 The thing for me is that the ONLY undead mob I even have slight trouble with are skeletons, which are trivially easy to counter with shields. Meanwhile hoglins and creepers remain on the absolute top of my hit list due to how annoying they are to deal with. The real question is how are you letting yourself get into situations where you're surrounded by undead mobs where Smite is your preferred option. Most Minecraft playthroughs reach that point where your base is so fortified mobs are basically a mild inconvenience, so unless your only use for a sword is to grind zombies and skeletons it just feels like a wasted enchantment. Plus, if you fight another player that does have sharpness you will lose.
@@GeorgeCowsert it is not about being surrounded... it is about how does a sharp sword compare to all the mobs vs how a smite sword compares to all the mobs. The Smite is MUCH better than sharp against all of the undead mobs (which there are a lot, and the more common ones). The sharp sword is only slightly better than the sharp sword and for only some of the non-undead mobs
@@EagleEye621 the point I don't think you're seeing is that the undead mobs are a joke. All of them are ridiculously easy to counter, so smite feels like overkill. A sharp 5 sword does the same job just as well AND isn't limited to undead. Just because stats say something is better doesn't mean it works in practicality. Most undead you face do ny require sharpness, let alone smite. You also haven't addressed the fact that you're basically screwed in PvP
@@GeorgeCowsert most mobs are a joke, I just pref the one-shot over the two shot even if that means some mobs are a three vs a two (but not really if you add fire). you are correct I did not talk about pvp
6:48 if you are using smite then most of the mobs you are hitting that catch you on fire (i think just zombies) you will be one shotting, so they wont have time to light you on fire before dying
Random but could you make a contraption that could get naturally grown cactus and bamboo to make green dye and make that good xp. So basically like a better replacement to zero- ticking.
can and have... :) ... the video is called "Fully Automatic XP Farm (No 0-Tick) - Works in Peaceful Mode" ... not better than the zero tick as it is massive to compensate for the slower growth of conventional crops
As soon as netherite came out and I learned you can one shot a pigman with a smite 5 sword I have debated too long about what to put sharpness on. I even tried on my survival server switching to sharp 5 diamond axe and smite 5 diamond sword as this was before the full release. Unfortunately my muscle memory was too strong to break and I kept on switching to the wrong tool for the mob at hand so decided to go back to smite 5 axe and sharp 5 sword for my server when it reset for 1.15. I do still think smite 5 sword is better as you can one shot more things. In the end it wasn’t all bad as despite losing the ability to one shot a spider, a crit with a sharp 5 netherite sword puts the buggers down to one hit point which the fire aspect quickly deals with.
Finally someone recognizes you can put smite and sharpness on a trident. I’ve been trying to convince my friends for years, but they never believed me.
For the trident with riptide, wouldn't you still want loyalty 3 anyways? I'm pretty sure if you throw a riptide trident while not wet it will act like a normal trident
@@EagleEye621 Not really since you cant get the godsword, but you can still get the Piercing Multishot crossbow as of 1.16.1 as far as i know. Like i said its an extremely rare drop from raids
I’ll use a strength 2 potion with a sharp 5 axe and do 27 hp of damage. I usually only use these for raids, as I can one shot literally everything in a raid other than a ravager. I use a crossbow for those anyway, they cause insane damage.
You forgot a cool trick you can do with the crossbow which if you’re close to a mob you can get all 3 of your arrows to hit the mob therefore tripling your damage. And if you have multiple crossbow with the right enchantments you can rapid fire a full course of arrows and do an insane amount of damage
That Is true but the undead mobs that become a one shot with smite are also a one shot with sharpness while other mobs like creepers are a one shot with sharpness
@@mooklin3589 I don't think of something as being one-shot unless it dies instantly... it may die from the first strike , but if it can still shoot you or hit you that can be a problem... don't have that same 'hangup' for two-shots...
The healing and harming tipped arrows only work as you described in Bedrock addition. In Java addition the tipped arrow damage is only applied if the if the arrow's damage is less than 12. (for healing and harming 2 ) For example if you shot a tipped harming arrow the damage of the arrow is 6. 6 harming damage would be applied to bring the total damage of the arrow up to 12. If your arrow does more damage than 12 damage the harming effect would not be applied at all. You can try this for yourself by shooting creepers with a power V + harming 2 arrows, you will see that some of creepers survive when not hit with the 25% critical chance for the reason explained above. Therefore on Java edition using harming or healing arrows while fully charging your bow is pointless. Harming and healing arrows are still useful if your short-stroke your bow as the arrows do less damage which lets you get the potion effect damage(also not having power on your bow). This is useful as the harming potion effect ignores protection enchantments on Armor meaning you could kill someone in 4 to 5 arrows with the only down side being the range and speed of arrows . You can also make deadly traps using dispensers has they only do 3 damage so your getting 9 harming damage from each shot. If you want to add extra damage to your power bow, poison is probably your best option.
I wanted to ask something. Based on the minecraft wiki it says that sharpness 1 increases the dmg of a weapon by 1 dmg points or in other words 1/2 hearts. Sharpness 2 increases the dmg by 1.5 dmg points still being equal to 1/2 hearts. So my question is: “Is it even worth it to get sharpness 2 when it does the same dmg increas like sharpness 1 does?”
Isnt on the veapon side but depth strider gives super fast mobility if you go near a dolphin, many people proprably know but just said this if there is some sort other way to speed travel, although i saw the thing whit soulspeed and dolphins and it was going like a thousand blocks in a second if long enghoufh and it got patched
@@EagleEye621 is that I noticed on my own and the damage was not 25.5 maybe I did something wrong or I didn't notice other details but I think your math is correct
In my opinion, swords are more like a farming tool for mob farms/xp farms and isn’t required in the hotbar. It’s biggest pro is the sweeping edge enchant. The axe is a better item to have in your hotbar, since it’s more of a precision attack tool and is also useful in building and cutting activities. I definitely prefer not wasting slots in my inventory by using this as a sword too. I’m not saying the sword is useless, but it’s just that the fire aspect, looting and sweeping edge enchants make it better in farms
I usually have an axe, a pickaxe, a bow, a water bucket, food and a stack of blocks. I also keep place for other stuff in case I’m exploring or building, such as other blocks, scaffoldings and enderpearls
@@goatyqt4553 Sword has higher dps, which already overpowers axes. Also what are you? Grian? Mumbo Jumbo? Lol why do you need so many hotbar spaces, sword literally overpowers ALL axes.
The impaling enchantment in bedrock deals the extra damage to mobs touching water and during the rain. Does channeling damage stack with impaling though?
use the pyramid method as I show in the 'how to make god armor' video and start with 'fresh books' to the extent possible (that is start with a smite V from a villy, don't combine two smite IV to make the smite V first)
Does crit do extra damage on bedrock? Or does fire aspect do immediate damage? Because I know I can one hit blazes spiders and creepers with a crit with sharpness V.
I searched 'most powerful weapons in minecraft' and youtube brought me here That was pretty good advice but if you're in a smp server where pvp is allowed the enchanting strategy might need to change a bit ( especially on the choice of sharp/smite )
I love this sort of analytical video. Recently, I polished up a small (Java) program that iterates through the Catalan set of possible orders of adding enchantments, in order to determine a combination that requires the minimum number of levels (or XP). Useful if you're supplying perfect gear to a server, for example. I can provide a link if you're interested.

I really like instant harming arrows because they are great for quick-spamming shots that do heaps of damage (probably useful for PVP).
that hasn't been my experience, but maybe it is version dependent?
I guess some would say that smite is better than sharpness, but smite does only affect a few mobs, but sharpness affects all. I just can't bring myself to swap
let me know if you change your mind after watching the video :)
i always have two swords on me one with sharpness and one with smite
@@keine_ahnung_wie_der_heisst that would just feel cluttered to me. replace that sharp sword with a sharp ax :)

I will be honest with you all about the netherite axe and sword.
When u are using smite 5 on
either of them
It's so much fun just to run around and 1 tap every undead mob in the face

The Instant Damage 2 Arrow becomes a more viable option if you have a Fletcher villager trade for tipped arrows. I was able to get a weakness arrow from one that I used to get cure discounts for my villagers.
good tip
You can get tipped arrows from Fletcher villagers and you will be able to pick them up again after hitting a mob with a piercing crossbow.
This allows for "infinite" tipped/spectral arrows.
good points/tips... still pref the bow though :)
With slowness arrows, it’s actually somewhat viable. Quite good against raids, for example, as they’re large groups of fast mobs.
The first time I got a Fletcher to be a Master he offered Arrows of Strength. Traded for a full stack of them without thinking about it. I keep them in a chest in a corner, to not think about.
@@SleepSoul lol
dude you know how overpowered multishot with insta damage 2 arrows is? if you stand close by you can 2 shot a ravager
I just saw you wanted me to comment what I carry! I always carry my sword with: Sharpness 5, Fire Aspect 2, Unbreaking 3, Mending, Knockback 2, and Looting 3. Then I also carry a bow with: Power 5, Punch 2, Infinity, Unbreaking 3, and Flame. I carry one arrow to go with that bow. When going out to fight mobs for loot I carry, my sword, my bow, a trident with Implaing 5, Mending, Unbreaking 3, Channeling, and loyalty 3. I carry another Trident with Implaing 5, Mending, Unbreaking 3, and Riptide 3. I also carry a crossbow with: Mending, Quick Charge 3, unbreaking 3, and Piercing 4. I know I have OP weapons so, don't let me get started on my Armor! Lol :p
nice :)
are you java or bedrock
@@henny7734 I just started playing java but when I carried those weapons I was on Minecraft for windows 10
but its not that hard to get maxed stuff, just have a good exp farm (pigmen or enderman)
29:52 not really until tipped arrows are patched (famous MC-107856) otherwise you could be using them to one-shot kill shulkers. Gossip says Combat Update v3 patches this bug, but we're in v5 so far and still no plans to merge it with vanilla so time will tell
fingers crossed
Here’s the thing stoping me from having axe as a weapon: Looting III
I want looting on most of the mobs I kill. So smite sword will help get more wither skeletons/gold. But sharpness will help on the other mobs like blaze/illagers. Can’t decide if I main smite sword or smite axe :(
if you saw from the video, the smite takes the same swings for most of the important mobs as the sharp does.
EagleEye621 I wrote that while watching the video. Now in convinced to use smite sword and sharp axe :)
Still will put an sharp 5 looting sword at the end Portal xD
I find it interesting that you included the hp of the wither on bedrock even though a large amount of this video doesn't apply to bedrock. In bedrock:
- impaling applies to any mob as long as it's in the water or rain (thrown impaling V can 1hk creepers which only have 18hp! Makes it harder to get charged creepers though)
- no sweeping edge
- axes actually do less damage than swords (doesn't mean sharpness is a bad idea)
- sharpness increases damage twice as much. Sharp V netherite sword is 14 damage, w/ crit is 21, making sharpness much more viable on bedrock.
- no weapon cool down. This is actually huge as it means eg a sharp 3 netherite sword will ALWAYS 1hko a cave spider, so long as at least one attack connects. Also it's possible to get 3 hits on a creeper before it explodes (which will kill if stock iron sword or higher)
- "rocket launcher" crossbows are 99.9% useless given the fact that THE ROCKETS DON'T EXPLODE ON IMPACT.
- if you're using a controller it's much harder to aim, so it's worth noting that crossbows actually have better accuracy than bows, and can shoot more often. (if anyone wants to argue that in xxx game they have just as good accuracy with sticks vs mouse, I will happily point out that xxx game almost certainly assists the aim of stick users in order to make it fair)
- you can craft tipped arrows by putting the potion in a caldron and using the arrows on it. If the caldron is full, you get an entire stack, without needing any gunpowder or dragon breath.
- no spectral arrows, but there's potions of decay (wither effect, creative only)
Anyways, hopefully this doesn't come across as rude, just wanting to add what I can.
not rude at all... I don't have/play bedrock so don't know and don't pretend to know all of the differences. Just thought it was a neat little fact to throw in. Very nice breakdown of the differences :)
@@EagleEye621 I honestly don't blame you. Would not recommend bedrock to any technical player. There's some things that are fun to exploit, but overall it's still riddled with bugs and the most important things for technical survival are nonexistent. Only reason I play it is switch is playable in bed, plus my family likes to play it at the end of the day.
@@rubixtheslime it is also not consistent... the same machine will do something different if you hit the button again... that would drive me nuts.
@@EagleEye621 The reason a lot of players prefer bedrock because its so weird and glitchy that i makes fun and can sometimes be a little challenge like if for example villagers just disapear (i lost my mending villager that way)
@@EagleEye621 yeah that's why I don't bother you for not playing it. Though to be fair, it's mostly just pistons and hoppers that are inconsistent. I haven't done it yet, but it's actually theoretically possible to make a consistent instant dropper line.
Glad I watched this. I always kept a Smite Sword around for the Nether and I upgraded mine to Netherite and saw how OP it was. I hadn't considered doing Sharpness on the Axe as that makes a lot more sense in 1.16 as you explained.

Thanks man just about to start enchanting my new netherite tools in my survival world!
for the tools, check the linked video... this one is just weapons :)
EagleEye621, the person that is singlehandedly making me change the way I play for the better. The beauty I find in these videos is in shaking up play style and notions that had settled in over time without data.
I used to carry a sharp five sword, and have smite five on the axe; and I must say it's not always more comfortable, but it is more comfortable in most of the situations thus far.
I think I may give two swords a try too, but a sharpness axe has come in super handy too.
in fairness, before netherite was a thing the sharp sword with smite axe was the way to go... but happy to be spreading the news that it is time for people to update :)
I like your idea of putting Smite 5 on a netherite sword and Sharpness 5 on a netherite axe. I think the only reason I think I might not use that is that you can't one-shot creepers and blazes with the axe, and it's a three-shot with the sword, overall making them more of a pain to deal with. I guess you could use a bow to do most of the damage, tho. I think I'll make myself a Smite 5 netherite sword and test it out to see which one I like more.
The only reason I use a crossbow is for piercing. As long as you hit fewer than 5 mobs at once, you won't lose your arrow and can pick it up. This works with tipped arrows, so you can apply the same effect repeatedly without losing as many tipped arrows. (Making this a good way to cure villagers.)
Also, you are able to get tipped arrows from fletcher villagers, with both their final trade and with hero of the village. Obviously, this still doesn't make them quite as easy to get as normal arrows, but it definitely is cheaper than using dragon's breath.
you can crit with your sword with creepers since you rarely have more than one at a time... but I like using bows to deal creepers.
true about the arrows... which is a great tip
On bedrock edition you can tip arrows in a cauldron, up to 64 for 3 layers of potions.
@@Linksyx +1 for bedrock :)

I only use the smite sword when killing wither skeletons because I hate creepers so much and I can kill them fast with two hits before it explodes
you can two shot it with an sharp axe... and if you use fire it is a two shot with smite as well. Also... given that comment, I really hope you watched the video I dropped today :)
Ohm dude this is literally the most helpful video on the Internet, from the way you organized the tiff in the chest for our leisure’s to the charts, absolutely amazing, completely genius, I hope you get millions of subscribers in compensations for your time and services.
Srzly speaking, i didn't knew so finely all these nuances of effects on self defense. My thought was quite like yours, Smite vs Sharpness vs Trident actually depends on who you are facing the most on crowds.
My thought is to have a Smite perfect sword for the Overworld and a Sharpness one for the Nether unless gold or wither farming, Trident goes with the Overworld exploration gear.
not unreasonable to have farm specific swords... indeed I specifically make a non-looting sword for my enderman xp farm since pearls are actually problematic
@@EagleEye621 😅 I shoot bats into caves and made a building with bone blockd, to waste some of the arrows and bones my mob farm produces. I made it for drops and now it's just a mending station. Should I remake it, would have just one floor with all spawns and other 4 only for creepers.

appreciate the support. you should also check out my armor video and tools video done in this same style :)
Piercing affects armor aswell, so if you play on a pvp server your crossbow with piercing deals more damage to fully geared enemies. Each level of piercing gives you 5% armor penetration, piercing V therefore gives you 25% armor penetration.

Can u compare Best of The worst tools and armor (max leather armor, max wooden sword etc.) to normal armors (Iron,diamond etc.)
kind of did for the tools if you saw that linked video, didn't go over the worst armor just said what it is.
After some testing in the new combat snapshot (6). I am pretty sure this setup in the video is still the best. especially for PvE maybe even better. Smite 5 netherite still one shots every undead mob, and sharpness axe still can one shot all those mobs under 20 health. Not sure whether this now seems too OP as attacks are now faster, yet netherite has hardly weakened.
yeah... this is PvE ... when the final combat update comes out will do an update for that... but don't think that will change the advice for your general play
Eh, smite still feels like a massive waste of an enchantment. Sure, axes do more overall damage, but they're still slower than swords, which is the main driving factor that makes axes far less consistent to me.
I'd much rather have a weapon that is useful in any situation as opposed to one that's useful in a handful of situations regardless of how common that situation is. It doesn't matter that axes can deal more damage; they're so slow it's barely worth pulling one out. The time it takes for an axe to be drawn is around the same as three sword hits, so unless you're trying to disable a shield it's simply not worth your time.
Just like how blast, projectile, and fire protection are made redundant by the mere existence of protection, bane and smite are irrelevant solely due to the existence of sharpness. If it affects everything, then it's automatically the most useful.
if you see the matchups I go through... the smite is still fine against the other mobs, by way of the fact that the sharpness doesn't do noticeably better in most circumstances
@@EagleEye621 The thing for me is that the ONLY undead mob I even have slight trouble with are skeletons, which are trivially easy to counter with shields. Meanwhile hoglins and creepers remain on the absolute top of my hit list due to how annoying they are to deal with.
The real question is how are you letting yourself get into situations where you're surrounded by undead mobs where Smite is your preferred option.
Most Minecraft playthroughs reach that point where your base is so fortified mobs are basically a mild inconvenience, so unless your only use for a sword is to grind zombies and skeletons it just feels like a wasted enchantment.
Plus, if you fight another player that does have sharpness you will lose.
@@GeorgeCowsert it is not about being surrounded... it is about how does a sharp sword compare to all the mobs vs how a smite sword compares to all the mobs. The Smite is MUCH better than sharp against all of the undead mobs (which there are a lot, and the more common ones). The sharp sword is only slightly better than the sharp sword and for only some of the non-undead mobs
@@EagleEye621 the point I don't think you're seeing is that the undead mobs are a joke. All of them are ridiculously easy to counter, so smite feels like overkill. A sharp 5 sword does the same job just as well AND isn't limited to undead.
Just because stats say something is better doesn't mean it works in practicality. Most undead you face do ny require sharpness, let alone smite.
You also haven't addressed the fact that you're basically screwed in PvP
@@GeorgeCowsert most mobs are a joke, I just pref the one-shot over the two shot even if that means some mobs are a three vs a two (but not really if you add fire).
you are correct I did not talk about pvp
6:48 if you are using smite then most of the mobs you are hitting that catch you on fire (i think just zombies) you will be one shotting, so they wont have time to light you on fire before dying
The funniest moment in the video 7:55
"gEt GoOD".
hoping someone would catch that :)
The only funnier thing is the almost inaudible "just kidding" immediately afterwards ;D
git gud
Is there any reason you use Smite sword and Sharp axe, not Sharp sword and smite axe?
yes... that is what a good chunk of the video is about :P
In case your wondering smite does more mob damage with like zombies and stuff and sharpness has more overall damage
undead vs everything else... as explained in the video :)
Random but could you make a contraption that could get naturally grown cactus and bamboo to make green dye and make that good xp. So basically like a better replacement to zero- ticking.
can and have... :) ... the video is called "Fully Automatic XP Farm (No 0-Tick) - Works in Peaceful Mode" ... not better than the zero tick as it is massive to compensate for the slower growth of conventional crops

@EagleEye621 forgive me if I'm wrong, but you seem to have missed the chopping/cleaving enchantment on the axe
those are not actually out yet... just in the combat snapshots and may change before full release
As soon as netherite came out and I learned you can one shot a pigman with a smite 5 sword I have debated too long about what to put sharpness on. I even tried on my survival server switching to sharp 5 diamond axe and smite 5 diamond sword as this was before the full release. Unfortunately my muscle memory was too strong to break and I kept on switching to the wrong tool for the mob at hand so decided to go back to smite 5 axe and sharp 5 sword for my server when it reset for 1.15. I do still think smite 5 sword is better as you can one shot more things. In the end it wasn’t all bad as despite losing the ability to one shot a spider, a crit with a sharp 5 netherite sword puts the buggers down to one hit point which the fire aspect quickly deals with.
muscle memory is tough to work through, but it can be done :)
Nice video man! Really helpful!
glad you like it :)
You can also put sharpness on Tridents. Is that better than Impaling?
Not in Java... maybe in bedrock (not 100% sure about that)

probobly to many combinations prior. check out my 'how to make god armor' video to show proper enchantment to get the max amount of stuff.
For the trident with riptide, wouldn't you still want loyalty 3 anyways? I'm pretty sure if you throw a riptide trident while not wet it will act like a normal trident
you can't have both on the same trident
@@EagleEye621 ah, darn
You can actually get Piercing and Multishot on the same crossbow ib survival as a very rare raid drop. Easy to get if you have a raid farm

@@EagleEye621 Not really since you cant get the godsword, but you can still get the Piercing Multishot crossbow as of 1.16.1 as far as i know. Like i said its an extremely rare drop from raids
I’ll use a strength 2 potion with a sharp 5 axe and do 27 hp of damage. I usually only use these for raids, as I can one shot literally everything in a raid other than a ravager. I use a crossbow for those anyway, they cause insane damage.
nice
ehm question. why not just carry a smite and a sharpness sword around with you? depending on where you are going
no need... the sharp axe has you covered
@@EagleEye621 ahh gotcha
You forgot a cool trick you can do with the crossbow which if you’re close to a mob you can get all 3 of your arrows to hit the mob therefore tripling your damage. And if you have multiple crossbow with the right enchantments you can rapid fire a full course of arrows and do an insane amount of damage
that actually doesn't work... only one of those three arrows will do any damage ... java at least.
The math on the sword works only if you take fire aspect out of the equation if you add fore aspect then you should use sharpness not smite
adding fire aspect actually makes smite MORE of a fave as the creeper goes back to a two shot as do most of the illigers.
That Is true but the undead mobs that become a one shot with smite are also a one shot with sharpness while other mobs like creepers are a one shot with sharpness
@@mooklin3589 I don't think of something as being one-shot unless it dies instantly... it may die from the first strike , but if it can still shoot you or hit you that can be a problem... don't have that same 'hangup' for two-shots...
@@EagleEye621 with knock back two it rarely gets the chance. especially if you just leave it and do something else and it just dies behind you
The healing and harming tipped arrows only work as you described in Bedrock addition. In Java addition the tipped arrow damage is only applied if the if the arrow's damage is less than 12. (for healing and harming 2 ) For example if you shot a tipped harming arrow the damage of the arrow is 6. 6 harming damage would be applied to bring the total damage of the arrow up to 12. If your arrow does more damage than 12 damage the harming effect would not be applied at all. You can try this for yourself by shooting creepers with a power V + harming 2 arrows, you will see that some of creepers survive when not hit with the 25% critical chance for the reason explained above.
Therefore on Java edition using harming or healing arrows while fully charging your bow is pointless. Harming and healing arrows are still useful if your short-stroke your bow as the arrows do less damage which lets you get the potion effect damage(also not having power on your bow). This is useful as the harming potion effect ignores protection enchantments on Armor meaning you could kill someone in 4 to 5 arrows with the only down side being the range and speed of arrows . You can also make deadly traps using dispensers has they only do 3 damage so your getting 9 harming damage from each shot.
If you want to add extra damage to your power bow, poison is probably your best option.
Your answer for the best enchant, fire aspect, literally the best lol
I wanted to ask something. Based on the minecraft wiki it says that sharpness 1 increases the dmg of a weapon by 1 dmg points or in other words 1/2 hearts. Sharpness 2 increases the dmg by 1.5 dmg points still being equal to 1/2 hearts. So my question is: “Is it even worth it to get sharpness 2 when it does the same dmg increas like sharpness 1 does?”

In my opinion, swords are more like a farming tool for mob farms/xp farms and isn’t required in the hotbar. It’s biggest pro is the sweeping edge enchant.
The axe is a better item to have in your hotbar, since it’s more of a precision attack tool and is also useful in building and cutting activities. I definitely prefer not wasting slots in my inventory by using this as a sword too.
I’m not saying the sword is useless, but it’s just that the fire aspect, looting and sweeping edge enchants make it better in farms
what else do you keep in your inventory hotbar?
I usually have an axe, a pickaxe, a bow, a water bucket, food and a stack of blocks. I also keep place for other stuff in case I’m exploring or building, such as other blocks, scaffoldings and enderpearls
@@goatyqt4553 Sword has higher dps, which already overpowers axes. Also what are you? Grian? Mumbo Jumbo? Lol why do you need so many hotbar spaces, sword literally overpowers ALL axes.
@@tiongdoraemon5771 Why do you have to be so aggressive, it's just a stick with metal at the end of it. Chill...
Wait why do people use axes for fighting? Don’t the sword and axe both have the critical strike refresh timer thing?
axes do more damage, but take more time than swords to recharge... and only swords have sweeping edge
EagleEye621 oh I see thank you!
The impaling enchantment in bedrock deals the extra damage to mobs touching water and during the rain. Does channeling damage stack with impaling though?
doesn't work that way in java as noted. the lightning strike is 5 damage points + the potential for some fire damage

How do I combine the books with the sword ? I try it and at the end it was to expensive
use the pyramid method as I show in the 'how to make god armor' video and start with 'fresh books' to the extent possible (that is start with a smite V from a villy, don't combine two smite IV to make the smite V first)
Does crit do extra damage on bedrock? Or does fire aspect do immediate damage? Because I know I can one hit blazes spiders and creepers with a crit with sharpness V.
i only have/play java
I searched 'most powerful weapons in minecraft' and youtube brought me here
That was pretty good advice but if you're in a smp server where pvp is allowed the enchanting strategy might need to change a bit ( especially on the choice of sharp/smite )
PVP does change things a bit... this was PvM focused
I love this sort of analytical video. Recently, I polished up a small (Java) program that iterates through the Catalan set of possible orders of adding enchantments, in order to determine a combination that requires the minimum number of levels (or XP). Useful if you're supplying perfect gear to a server, for example. I can provide a link if you're interested.
sounds very cool, of course (drop it to me on discord if you can as youtube tends to 'eat links'

Always am :)
