What does Smite not affect?

In Minecraft, the Smite enchantment does not affect living mobs like creepers, spiders, or players, nor does it work on non-undead bosses like the Ender Dragon or Warden; it only boosts damage against undead enemies (zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, etc.), acting like a normal weapon against everything else and being incompatible with other damage enchantments like Sharpness.

What does Smite not work on?

In Minecraft, the Smite enchantment on swords and axes is incompatible with Sharpness and Bane of Arthropods, meaning you can only have one of these damage-boosting enchantments on a single weapon; it also conflicts with newer enchantments like Density, Breach, and Cleaving in Java Edition, and with Impaling (though this is rarely seen in survival).

What does Smite affect?

In Minecraft, the Smite enchantment significantly boosts melee damage against undead mobs like zombies, skeletons, withers, and phantoms, adding +2.5 damage per level (up to level V for +12.5 extra damage), making weapons extremely effective for fighting these specific enemies but useless against living ones like spiders or creepers. It can be applied to swords and axes but is incompatible with Sharpness and Bane of Arthropods, meaning you must choose between them.

Are creepers affected by smite?

No, a Smite enchantment on a sword or axe does not work on Creepers because they are not undead mobs; Smite only boosts damage against zombies, skeletons, withers, and other undead creatures, requiring two hits to kill a Creeper, just like a Sharpness enchantment. For general use, Sharpness is better for Creepers and spiders, while Smite excels against undead, making a combination (Smite sword, Sharpness axe) effective for killing all common mobs efficiently.

Cons - Some ults don't work as intended looking at you Mordred, wards don't last long enough, 1 minute is useless, jungle camps and the ability to stack them feels off. Map feels too small and TTK is too short, you can have Neith drop 4 weaves in 40 seconds and it's one shot regardless of prots.

Ranking EVERY Weapon in Minecraft

Is it better to have Smite or sharpness?

Neither is universally "better"; Sharpness is best for general combat and PvP (affects all mobs), while Smite excels against undead mobs (zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, etc.), often allowing one-shot kills, making it great for fighting the Wither or farming undead. For a versatile setup, many players use a Sharpness sword for general use and an Axe with Smite for undead farming, or vice versa, as they can't be combined on the same tool.

Does Smite work against the Warden?

Yes, Smite used to work on the Warden in Minecraft, dealing extra damage, but Mojang changed it so Smite no longer affects the Warden as of snapshot 22w12a; instead, players now use enchantments like Sharpness, Strength potions, or new community-suggested enchantments like "Sculk Smite" (which isn't official) to fight it. Smite is designed for undead mobs, and while the Warden is technically undead, the developers adjusted its mechanics to make it a unique challenge, so your standard Smite enchanted sword won't give you that bonus damage against it anymore.
