(Java Parity) Sweeping Edge enchantment for Bedrock

I've been watching sweeping edge become a popular enchantment on java edition for a very long time now and have been wondering why this has yet to be transferred to console (bedrock) versions as yet... it would definitely be very useful in my world and play style. As it stands, its horribly annoying to have to tap, tap, tap one enemy at a time when you're surrounded by a handful (and more with slime versions). That makes death way too inevitable and quick for such a simply resolved issue by having this mechanic implemented in the gameplay.

    Yeah. And why don’t we have shields, either?

    This could only be implemented after the new combat, right?

    The sweep attack only applies when the weapon recharge bar is nearly full, it would be pretty crazy if it applied for every swing. And the enchantment doesn't give you the sweep attack, it just increases its damage.

    This is basically a necessity for big mob farms.

    My wife expressed annoyance this is missing while we are playing Bedrock. I told her I expect it in the next major update as part of the combat overhaul. Please don't make my wife mad at me for making a promise I can't deliver.

    It is very hard to keep up with java players when they have so many advantages such as this one which makes the game hard to play and keep my interest

    They could add the sweeping edge enchantment to Bedrock PS4 edition by holding down the R2 button for sweep attack. You could still attack normally by tapping R2.

    This needs to happen. It makes way more since to have it on bedrock for controller players because it’s harder for us to even hit aim and click to hit mobs.

    This is definitely something I would love to have on bedrock edition. It would make mob farms a lot faster and easier to use, along with just going out and fighting mobs by hand.

    To be honest, this would make afk mob farms much easier to use when in the killing chamber, and maybe even the squishing thing that causes mobs to die once there are too many in one spot like they also have in the Java edition... Just saying, this would be really nice to have.

    I think it’s due time that we get this on the bedrock edition of the game. Ep. is tedious to get when using a mob grinder and can create a lot of lag when using.

    This should definitely be added in the nether update as killing mobs individually causes players to go through a lot of durability and is very slow and tedious.

    This would also make xp farms a lot better as you could kill multiple enemies at once not one at a time

    Reasons for sweeping edge to be on bedrock :

    •Makes easy to kill mobs surrounding in a place

    •Basically becomes easier to farm mobs which get crammed in one place, one sweep and poof

    •Make a new combat technique for the game

    •Adds realism rather than tapping animation which is quite boring

    It should work just like how it does in java edition, if your standing still and your recharge bar is filled it would do sweep attack.

    Probably a big reason why it's not added is because pocket edition plays along with windows 10, ps4, xbox one, etc. They could most likely add the feature if pocket edition wasn't in the group. Pocket edition is not like the others in where the screen does not need to be centered to attack. You can hit something on the corner of your device view on pocket edition. However, if they add sweeping edge, pocket edition would be the only one that didn't have it, which would feel unfair to them. And, if they added it to PE, where would they put the recharge and slash across the screen? Since it's not required to center your screen to attack, they would not be able to use it unless they got it perfectly straight. Don't get me wrong, I would love sweeping edge, I have multiple mob farms, and go through multiple iron swords on each run. It's just the differences in attacking format would make it hard for the devs to add sweeping edge to bedrock.

    This enchantment is a nessesity for farms and tI be more efficient in large hoard and it would be perfect for the next update to make the bedrock and java edition equal to each other.

    Sweeping edge on bedrock would be so useful for mob farms. (Ex. Ended man farms)
