Which items take Sweeping Edge
Swords, and books.
None beyond the table items.
The table offers an enchantment only on its primary items; an anvil can add it to anything that can hold it. See every enchantment an item can hold in the max enchantments by item tool.
Conflicts
Nothing: Sweeping Edge combines with every other enchantment its item can hold.
Enchanting table odds

Power window per level
A table roll picks the highest level whose window contains the roll’s modified enchantment level. These are the registry’s min_cost and max_cost, not the level cost shown on the table.
| Level | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Sweeping Edge I | 5 | 20 |
| Sweeping Edge II | 14 | 29 |
| Sweeping Edge III | 23 | 38 |
Anvil cost
An anvil charges ×4 per level when Sweeping Edge comes from another item and ×2 per level when it comes from a book, so adding Sweeping Edge III from a book costs 6 levels before any prior-work penalty. Work out a full combine in the anvil cost calculator.
Command
Hold the item in your main hand and run this with cheats on. /enchant refuses an item that can’t hold Sweeping Edge and any level above III.
