How to Get Sweeping Edge in Minecraft
• Enchanting Table
You can obtain Sweeping Edge by using an enchanting table. Surround it with up to 15 bookshelves to unlock higher enchantment levels. Place your item and lapis lazuli in the table, and Sweeping Edge may appear as one of the offered enchantments. The outcome is random, so you may need multiple attempts.
• Loot Chests
Enchanted books containing Sweeping Edge can be found inside loot chests throughout the world — in dungeons, mineshafts, desert temples, jungle temples, and strongholds. Some chests may also contain items pre-enchanted with Sweeping Edge. Loot chest drops are random, so exploration is key.
• Villager Trading
Librarian villagers can offer enchanted books including Sweeping Edge in exchange for emeralds. By resetting a librarian's trades (breaking and replacing their lectern), you can cycle through available enchantments until Sweeping Edge appears. This is one of the most reliable ways to target a specific enchantment in survival mode.
How to Apply Sweeping Edge
• Enchanting Table
Place your item and lapis lazuli in the enchanting table to apply Sweeping Edge directly. The enchantment is randomly selected, so results may vary.
• Anvil
Use an anvil to combine an enchanted book containing Sweeping Edge with your item. This gives you precise control over which enchantment is applied.
