What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity! Items in snapshots and betas are subject to change so please be sure to only post about things that are currently released in Minecraft. Please read the intro post before you post!

Increasing Sharpness Damage [Java Parity]

Bedrock's Sharpness scaling is lower than Java's, so it should be fair that Bedrock should have Java's damage scaling.

Sharpness Level - Bedrock's Damage --> Java's Damage

  • I -  + 1  -->  + 1.25
  • II -  + 2  -->  + 3.5
  • III -  + 3  -->  + 4.75
  • IV -  + 4  -->  + 6
  • V -  + 5  --> + 7.25

    The bedrock combat system is drastically different. Buffing sharpness on bedrock to match java means bedrock players deal more damage in the same amount of time. This is because there is an absence of the attack cooldown mechanic in bedrock.

    A mob that takes 2 hits to die in java will last X amount of time.
    The same mob in bedrock will take 3 hits, but die in x amount of time as well. (usually)

    If sharpness is increased to match, the mob on bedrock will die in 2 hits, but take Y amount of time. (faster)
    this decreases the currently intended difficulty level and would actually decrease parity unless the rest of combat was changed as well.
