Modified Apr 15, 2022 07:18 GMT

Enchantments are one of the most important features in Minecraft. These are magical powerups that players can add to various types of items used in the game. Some of them are valuable and highly useful, while others have negative effects on the player and are obviously not as useful.

Players can primarily apply most of these powerups from an enchanting table. Additionally, they will also need Lapis Lazuli and bookshelves around the enchanting table to place strong enchantments on their gear. Currently, there are about 40 different types of enchantments, with more sure to arrive with the new updates in 2022, which is why players must know which are the most useful and which aren't.
