Can confirm, here are my findings based on number of hits.
Smash attack from Mace at 10 Blocks high against a Zombie with a Full Set of Protection IV Netherite Armor:
Unenchanted: 8 Hits
Breach IV: 3 Hits
Density V: 3 Hits
Smite V: 10 Hits
Critical attack from Mace against a Zombie with a Full Set of Protection IV Netherite Armor:
Unenchanted: 31 Hits
Breach IV: 8 Hits
Density V: 31 Hits
Smite V: >110 Hits and it is still alive
For other circumstances against an unarmored zombie while performing a Critical Attack:
Fist: 15 Hits
Netherite Sword: 2 HIts
Smite V Netherite Sword: >15 Hits and it is still alive
Smite is as reported for me
But Sharpness is inconsistent: it seems the weak attacks do not work on undead mobs but work on mobs such as spiders, while the strong attacks work on both
Confirmed as well. With Sharpness 5 on a netherite sword, 3 hits on a cave spider to kill it. Sharpness can make your attacks weaker instead. Tested with No Sharpness on a netherite sword. 2 Hits. This bug needs to be a big priority. Stray test. 3 hits with no Sharpness. 4-5 Hits with Sharpness. This bug popped up 24w18a.
Made a post about one more broken enchantment. Bane of Arthropods is completely broken. It heals spiders instead of hurting them.
Noticed this problem while using my zombie spawner farm. Using a Sweeping Edge, Smite V sword the target mob will not die, but all mobs hit with the Sweeping Edge effect die.
Can confirm.
Serious bug.
