Weapon IDs
| Weapon | ID |
|---|---|
| Sword | netherite_sword, diamond_sword, … |
| Axe | netherite_axe, … |
| Bow | bow |
| Crossbow | crossbow |
| Trident | trident |
| Mace | mace (1.21+) |
Enchantments for each weapon
| Weapon | Enchantments |
|---|---|
| Sword | sharpness, looting, fire_aspect, sweeping_edge, mending, unbreaking |
| Axe | sharpness, efficiency, unbreaking, mending |
| Bow | power, punch, flame, infinity, unbreaking |
| Crossbow | quick_charge, multishot or piercing, unbreaking |
| Trident | loyalty or riptide, impaling, channeling |
| Mace | density or breach, wind_burst, unbreaking |
"Or" marks pairs that normally cannot go on the same item. Java /give can force them together, but some then cancel out; a trident with Riptide will not return with Loyalty.
Commands (Java 1.21.5+)
# Bow
/give @p bow[enchantments={power:5,punch:2,flame:1,infinity:1,unbreaking:3}] 1
# Crossbow
/give @p crossbow[enchantments={quick_charge:3,multishot:1,unbreaking:3}] 1
# Trident
/give @p trident[enchantments={loyalty:3,impaling:5,channeling:1}] 1
# Mace
/give @p mace[enchantments={density:5,wind_burst:3,unbreaking:3}] 1Older versions use a different format. Choose your version in the give command generator.
Give arrows as well
/give @p arrow 64An Infinity bow still needs one arrow in the inventory. Infinity has no effect on crossbows, so give a full stack. Tipped arrows can be made with the potion generator.
Bedrock Edition
/give @p bow
/enchant @p power 5
/enchant @p infinity 1Give the weapon first, hold it, then run /enchant once per enchantment. Bedrock only allows the normal maximum levels.
For more power, see the strongest sword and strongest bow guides.
Common questions
- The weapon is not in my hand. /give puts it in the first free slot; if the hotbar is full it goes into the inventory.
- Can I change attack speed? Java supports it with the
attribute_modifierscomponent; the generator is easier than writing it by hand. - The mace does not exist. It was added in 1.21 and is missing from older versions.
