Sharpness is an enchantment applied to a sword or axe that increases melee damage.
Usage
In Java Edition, Sharpness adds 0.5 * max(0, level - 1) + 1.0 extra damage.
In Bedrock Edition, each level of Sharpness adds 1.25 extra damage.
An anvil is required for the player to apply Sharpness V to a wooden, stone, iron, diamond, or netherite weapon, though iron and diamond swords with it can generate in end city and bastion remnant chests. Golden weapons can get Sharpness V through enchanting.
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.[Java Edition only]
