Can You Have Smite and Fire Aspect on the Same Sword in Minecraft?

Smite and Fire Aspect are compatible on the same sword in ordinary vanilla Minecraft. Smite conflicts with Sharpness and Bane of Arthropods, not Fire Aspect.

Yes. In ordinary vanilla Minecraft, Smite and Fire Aspect can be on the same sword. Smite increases damage against undead mobs, while Fire Aspect sets the target on fire after a melee attack.

What Smite and Fire Aspect do

  • Smite increases damage dealt to undead mobs.
  • Fire Aspect sets a target on fire after a melee attack.

In Bedrock Edition, Microsoft lists both enchantments as available for swords and axes in its enchantment reference.

Which enchantments conflict with Smite?

Smite is a damage-specialization choice: it cannot be combined with Sharpness or Bane of Arthropods in ordinary vanilla play. Fire Aspect is not part of that mutually exclusive damage-enchantment group, so it can accompany Smite. Mojang’s Java Edition 1.21 notes describe exclusivity tags for incompatible enchantments; the Minecraft Wiki conflict list provides a compatibility cross-check.

How to combine them

  1. Use an anvil to combine a sword with an enchanted book, or combine it with another identical item that has a different enchantment. Microsoft’s Bedrock reference explains that the result can carry both enchantments.
  2. An enchanting table is used to enchant items that have no enchantments; use the anvil route when adding an enchantment to an already enchanted sword.

The cited Bedrock reference does not specify every edition’s anvil cost, and this vanilla guidance does not establish behavior for every snapshot, mod, or datapack. For brief descriptions of both enchantments, see Minecraft Help.
