What is smite in minecraft?

There's no official feature or mechanic called "Smite" in vanilla Minecraft. The term "smite" generally refers to a powerful attack or ability that deals significant damage, particularly to undead creatures. However, within the Minecraft community, "smite" can refer to a few things, depending on context:

  • Enchantment: The Smite enchantment on a sword significantly increases damage dealt to undead mobs (zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, etc.). This is the most common association with "smite" in Minecraft.

  • Mods: Many Minecraft mods introduce new items, weapons, or abilities that could be described as "smites," often with unique effects or targeting. Without knowing which mod you're referring to, it's impossible to be more specific.

  • Player-created terms: Players might informally use "smite" to describe any powerful attack they deliver, regardless of the item or enchantment used.

To understand what "smite" means in a particular Minecraft context, you'll need to provide more information, such as:

  • Are you playing vanilla Minecraft or a modded version? If modded, which mod?
  • What is the context in which you heard the term "smite"? Was it in a video, a server description, or a player's chat message?

If you're referring to the Smite enchantment, it's found in an enchanting table and is a very effective way to kill undead mobs quickly.
