How to enchant in minecraft with books

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.

Minecraft enchantments list

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
