Weapons are a category of equippable items in Minecraft Dungeons that are used to attack and defeat mobs in during missions. The hero can obtain new weapons from opening chests, defeating mobs, exchanging emeralds with the village merchant, luxury merchant, mystery merchant, piglin merchant, and from gifts provided by heroes of other players through the gift wrapper. Weapons can have up to three player selected enchantments to apply additional properties.

The maximum power level for weapons is 263. Gilded weapons can drop in Ancient Hunts and be obtained from the piglin merchant with a maximum power of 251. Gilded weapons at power level 263 are obtainable through the Tower. Seasonal equipment can be obtained gilded.

Melee weapons[]

"Melee Weapon" redirects here. For melee weapons in Minecraft, see Weapon § Melee weapon.

Melee weapons are weapons that can be used to damage nearby entities. There are currently seventy-eight known melee weapons. This includes forty-eight uniques, of which forty-seven are obtainable, and three are seasonal event exclusive.

Close range combat is the hero's unlimited and reliable source of damage output with no ammo requirement. However, the immediate proximity to mobs positions the hero within melee mobs' attack ranges, risking loss of health and receiving negative status effects such as becoming Frozen. Ranged mobs also take advantage of the time taken for the melee hero to approach them.

Long ranged melee weapons such as glaives can help keep a distance between the hero and mobs or received damage can be mitigated and nullified by consistent healing with Radiance on high speed weapons such as the fighter's bindings.

If no melee weapons are equipped, the hero's fists are used to inflict 1 damage point to mobs.

With correct equipment setup and a touch of experimentation, Melee weapons can be the devastator to the Arch-Illager's forces. Slow and hard hitting or rapid and unforgiving, Melee weapons should always be considered - even if the player prefers a Ranged approach.

Combos[]

Combo length is the number of different attack movements in a Melee weapon's attack sequence.

The final attack of a combo triggers Shockwave and Swirling enchantments and inflict the maximum damage specified for the weapon in the inventory.
