Bane of Arthropods in Minecraft is an enchantment for swords and axes that will increase the amount of damage that player can do to spiders, cave spiders, bees, silverfish, and endermites.

Bane of arthropods and Smite are two enchantments that can be placed on weapons in Minecraft. Although these enchantments are somewhat similar, they share a big difference.

Bane of Arthropods (I - V) Increases damage to arthropods (spiders, bees, silverfish, endermites). Mutually exclusive with Smite and Sharpness. Applies to swords. Blast Protection (I - IV) ...

Bane of Arthropods has always been a poor Minecraft enchantment. No arthropod mob has as much health as a standard zombie, and Sharpness is already a better candidate for swords as is.

On the flip side, avoid Bane of Arthropods, Curse of Vanishing, and Frost Walker to prevent wasted slots and disastrous outcomes. Choose enchantments wisely for a better gaming experience.
