Specific cases

[edit | edit source]

If Power is applied to a crossbow by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment boosts the weapon's projectile damage when using arrows as ammo, but not when using firework rockets as ammo. If Power is applied to a trident by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment does not boost the weapon's projectile damage, and instead Sharpness has this effect.
