Why is Bane of Arthropods bad?

Bane of Arthropods (BoA) is considered bad in Minecraft because it's highly situational, only affecting a few bug-like mobs (spiders, silverfish, endermites, bees) while being mutually exclusive with powerful general damage enchantments like Sharpness, making it a waste on a main weapon for general combat. Players often get it accidentally, blocking better enchantments and forcing them to use anvils, leading to frustration over its limited utility compared to its common appearance in enchanting tables.

Is sharpness better than bane of Arthropods?

Sharpness is generally better for overall use because it boosts damage against all mobs, while Bane of Arthropods (BoA) is superior only for arthropods (spiders, silverfish, bees, etc.), dealing more extra damage to them specifically, but it's useless against everything else and conflicts with Sharpness, making it better for specialized swords, like for spider farms. For general gameplay, Sharpness offers versatility, but if you need to clear a spider spawner fast, BoA wins, though many players find it too situational.
