Sharpness 255 Sword

Get a sword with Sharpness far beyond the vanilla max. Run: /give @p netherite_sword[enchantments={sharpness:255}] 1. A netherite sword with Sharpness 255 — the highest level the enchantment component accepts — one-shots every mob in the game, including the Warden and full-netherite players. Levels above 255 are clamped back down, so this is the true ceiling. Works on Java Edition 26.2. Last verified June 2026.
