Want to one-shot any mob or player in Minecraft? With a Sharpness 255 sword, you can slice through anything like butter, even in the latest version, Minecraft 1.21.5.
This trick is pure command magic. No mods needed. Just cheats turned on and you’re ready to swing!
What Is a Sharpness 255 Sword?
Normally, the Sharpness enchantment only goes up to level 5. But using a special command, you can enchant a sword with Sharpness level 255, turning it into a weapon of mass destruction.
One hit is enough to kill almost anything in the game — even the Ender Dragon or Wither!
Which Versions Does This Work In?
This command works in:
- ✅ Minecraft 1.21.5 (latest version)
- ✅ Minecraft 1.20+
- ✅ Minecraft 1.19
- ✅ Minecraft 1.18
- ✅ Older versions like 1.16 and 1.12 (command syntax may vary slightly)
Note: Works best in Java Edition. Bedrock Edition requires a different format and may not allow level 255.
