Cleaving is a enchantment applied to axes that increases melee damage and lengthens shield disabling time. It is exclusive to the Java Edition Combat Tests.
Usage
Cleaving adds 1HP + 1HP × level [note 1] of damage and 0.5 seconds (10 game ticks) of shield stunning per level[note 2], for a maximum enchantment level of 3.
Damage per hit
These tables detail how much damage is added per level of enchantment, assuming the target is not wearing armor and the attack is fully charged.
Because Cleaving is exclusive to the Java Edition Combat Tests, the attack damages of axes in the Combat Tests are used for the tables.
