This guide will give you an explanation and walk-through of the best enchantments you can apply to everything that can be enchanted in the game. Show This page assumes that the world is created and played in the latest game version. However, it is possible to obtain different and more extreme enchantment combinations on prior versions; early 1.14 releases notably allow more than one protection enchantment to be applied to a single piece at a given time. The enchantments are sorted from highest to least priority. On this page, an anvil sign means that the enchantment cannot be obtained via enchanting table, and must be added through an anvil. Armor[]Have at least one piece with protection, preferably the pants, or just enchant your entire armor set with protection (save for one situational enchantment on the chestplate). Unbreaking is not as necessary on armor as on tools and weapons. Unbreaking III on a piece of armor only makes it last about 43% longer, but for a tool or a weapon, its durability is effectively quadrupled. Helmet[]
There are multiple enchantment orders with the same cost in
levels. At the same total costs in levels the cost in XP can still be different. For example two steps costing 2 and 4 levels require more XP than two steps costing 3 levels each. The optimal enchantment
orders is Chestplate[]
The optimal enchantment orders is Leggings[]
The optimal enchantment orders is Boots[]
There are multiple enchantment orders with the same cost in
levels. At the same total costs in levels the cost in XP can still be different. For example two steps costing 2 and 4 levels require more XP than two steps costing 3 levels each. The optimal enchantment
orders is Feather Falling[]When obtaining Feather Falling from an enchanting table, they player should not enchant at level 30, but reduce to levels 22, 24 or 26. At level 30, there is only about a 3% chance to obtain Feather Falling on a pair of diamond boots; but using level 24 and 26, the chance is a much-higher 30%; at level 22, the chance is as high as 44%. The enchantment level can be reduced by placing torches or any other block between the enchanting table and the bookshelves, which prevents the enchanting table from detecting the bookshelves. Weapons[]Sword[]
Knockback is a fairly controversial enchantment. Other players absolutely hate it especially in SMPs and PVP fights while other players add it to knock away mobs like creepers and piglin brutes. In Netherite PVP, Knockback I allows you to knock away enemies while still being able to reach them but Knockback II knocks the enemy away too far, making it hard for you to launch a counterattack. 1) Sword + Looting III (6 levels, 72 experience) 2) Sweeping Edge III + Unbreaking III (3 levels, 27 experience) 3) [1] + [2] (11 levels, 187 experience) 4) Sharpness V + Knockback II (2 levels, 16 experience) 5) [3] + [4] (11 levels, 187 experience) 6) Fire Aspect II + Mending (2 levels, 16 experience) 7) [5] + [6] (14 levels, 280 experience) Ctto:u/scudobuio Axe[]
Bow[]
Infinity means without Unbreaking you need 383 fewer arrows. With Unbreaking I / II / III you need on average 767/1151/1535 less arrows (1536=24 stacks). Mending means your bow will never break if you continually gain enough experience, which will likely happen. If you have an enchanting setup and a lot of iron for anvils, Infinity is better, unless you can obtain large quantities of arrows with ease. Another exception would be if you got a powerful bow early game, for example from fishing: Mending would be better because you won't have a lot of iron or an enchanting table early on. It's worth noting as well that Infinity doesn't work with tipped arrows, so Mending is preferable when the player uses tipped arrows as ammunition (for example, Arrows of Slowness from a stray farm). Punch II is optional, as knockback can sometimes be a nuisance. Some pros of Punch include being able to knock away high-damaging mob such as creepers, piglin brutes and vindicators. It's also useful when being repeatedly hacked by an enemy player and for bow-boosting. There are multiple enchantment orders with the same
cost in levels. At the same total costs in levels the cost in XP can still be different. For example two steps costing 2 and 4 levels require more
XP than two steps costing 3 levels each. The optimal enchantment orders is Crossbow[]
Crossbows can only receive up to Quick Charge II through an enchanting table. Quick Charge III must be obtained via other means: either by combining two crossbows in an anvil, using enchanted books, or via mob drops. You are more likely to hit another mob with Multishot or the same one when its a larger mob, but the chance that you hit something else unintentionally increases with both enchantments (a villager to make an iron golem angry or a zombified piglin or bees). Piercing allows reusing arrows which hit a mob, so it almost substitutes Infinity, and it can be useful for achieving certain advancements[JE only] or killing at spawners. Piercing is usually better because you use less arrows, and with multishot, you can only see where one arrow will land, not all three. Also, Piercing uses 1 durability per shot, while Multishot uses 3; more precious ammunition such as tipped arrows can also be retrieved after use, which is a benefit that Infinity doesn't have. Trident[]
Loyalty can be useful for fighting mobs in any weather conditions. Loyalty will make your trident come to you automatically, unless you throw it into the void[Java Edition only]. Riptide is useful for fast transportation in certain weather conditions or underwater, it can also be used as a reliable substitute of firework rockets for elytra as long as there is a water source nearby, or it is raining. Channeling makes a lightning strike on any mobs you attack with your trident (only works under thunderstorms). This can be used to turn villagers into witches, pigs into zombified piglins, red mooshrooms into brown mooshrooms, and creepers into charged creepers. A charged creeper's explosion will cause a nearby mob to drop its head (such as zombies, skeletons, and other creepers) so this enchantment is useful for farming mob heads. But beware of that as charged creepers' explosions can one shot you even with full Protection IV netherite armor so a totem is recommended. Impaling is almost useless in Java Edition, as they only work against underwater mobs such as guardians. However, in Bedrock Edition, Impaling affects everyone as long as they're exposed to water or rain, making it useful in PVP. Tools[]Pickaxe[]
Fortune III has the highest priority when you mine for ores, especially diamonds. Efficiency V, when combined with the Haste II effect obtained from beacons, allows the instant mining of stone, making mining much faster. Silk Touch is useful for a variety of blocks. A notable one is the ender chest, a block used frequently in late-game, which can only be retrieved with a Silk Touch pickaxe. Others include stone (if you don't want the cobblestone), bee nests and glass. Shovel[]
Hoe[]
Axe[]
Fishing Rod[]
Shears[]
It is usually not recommended to enchant shears at all, as they can only be enchanted through an anvil, and they are crafted with iron ingots which are very easy to come by in late-game. So only enchant them if you have an abundance of enchanted books of the above categories. Flint and Steel[]
Similar to shears, flint and steel is not recommended to be enchanted. However, it can be useful in situations when you want a long lasting flint and steel. Shield[]
It is usually not recommended to enchant shields, but if the shield has a banner applied to it[Java Edition only], it might be worth it to enchant it. Shields are also a great substitute in place of totems if used right. Carrot on a Stick[]
Being one of the least used tools in the game, it is not recommended to obtain the tool in the first place, not to mention enchanting it. Warped Fungus on a Stick[]
This tool is not recommended to be enchanted, for reasons similar to carrot on a stick stated above. In addition, even if its durability is depleted, it will simply turn into a fishing rod, which means the player can simply craft the rod with another warped fungus in their inventory to make a new one. Elytra[]
It is almost necessary to apply these two enchantments to elytra, as they are one of the most useful modes of transportation in late-game. Unbreaking is needed to quadruple the elytra's airborne time, since elytra breaking in mid-air can be deadly; Mending is the most effective way to repair elytra, as otherwise they can only be repaired with phantom membranes or other elytras in an anvil, and the cost increases over time. Conflicting Enchantments[]Conflicting enchantments are enchantments that cannot be combined on the same armor, weapon or tool without /give or changing the playerdata.nbt using a NBT editor. The following enchantments cannot be combined:
Further guide[]The following armor enchantments cannot be combined: Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, and Fire Protection. Protection prevents half the damage that would be blocked by the other three. Protection is better, but there are sometimes other factors you should take into account. If you fall often in lava, it would be better to put Fire Protection on your armor. If you die often from creeper explosions, put Blast Protection armor on. Note: More than 20 Enchantment Protection Factor (EPF) is useless. 1 Level of Protection = 1 EPF, 1 Level of specific type of Protection = 2 EPF. For example, two pieces of armor with Blast Protection IV (EPF 8 each) and a single piece with Protection IV (EPF 4) would give a total EPF of 20 versus explosions. The following sword/axe enchantments cannot be combined:
Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods. Depending on what you want to do with the sword or axe, you can choose the most suitable. Sharpness is useful for general use, Smite is useful against
undead mobs (skeletons, zombies, withers, etc.), Bane of Arthropods is useful against
Arthropods (spiders, cave spiders, bees, silverfish,
and endermites). Each level of Smite and Bane of Arthropods deals 2.5 extra damage to the specific group of mobs. Sharpness deals 1.25 extra damage
[Bedrock Edition] and Aside from curses, there aren't any enchantments that should be avoided with other tools.
Is it worth it to enchant a hoe?For a hoe, I don't see any reason to enchant. The only somewhat sensible enchants would be unbreaking and mending, but it would be much more worth it to just craft a new hoe every time the old time breaks.
