SharpnessTooltipFix
by Ledity
SharpnessTooltipFix corrects the Minecraft tooltip that fails to show Sharpness damage on weapons, so the attack value on screen matches the real one.
What it does
The client-side Fabric mod addresses MC-271840, a vanilla bug where the attack damage tooltip on a weapon ignores the Sharpness enchantment. Rather than printing an extra Sharpness entry, the mod merges the enchantment bonus into the weapon's current attack damage figure, so a sword with Sharpness V displays 10.5 Attack Damage instead of the base 8.5. The formatting stays in the vanilla style.
The fix is limited to the tooltip and leaves combat itself unchanged. Swords and other Sharpness-compatible weapons are covered. The mod requires Fabric API, is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest build, 1.0.0+mc26.2 for 26.2, was published on 2026-08-31. Only the client needs it; servers run without it.

Use cases
Checking weapon damage in survival
A player comparing enchanted weapons can read the true attack value directly from the tooltip instead of calculating it.
Playing on modded setups
Players who keep a small client-side toolkit can add this fix without changing any server files.
Who it’s for: Players who read weapon tooltips in Minecraft 26.2 and want the displayed Attack Damage to include Sharpness. Server owners need not install it, since it changes only what the client shows.

A lightweight client-side Fabric mod that fixes MC-271840 by displaying Sharpness damage directly in Minecraft’s vanilla Attack Damage tooltip. Instead of adding a separate Sharpness line, the mod automatically combines the enchantment bonus with the weapon’s existing attack damage value.
