Enchant Smite 5

Add Smite V to a sword for bonus damage against undead mobs

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Applies Smite V (the vanilla maximum) to the sword you are holding, adding large bonus damage against undead mobs like zombies, skeletons, and the Wither. Smite is mutually exclusive with Sharpness, Bane of Arthropods, Breach, and Density, so /enchant refuses a sword that already has any of them. Hold the sword first.
