Protection is arguably one of the best enchantments that players can get on their armor for a PvP fight. This powerup simply increases the general defense of any component, be it a helmet, boots, chestplate, or leggings. Protection Lev. 4 armor is the best that players can get in Survival mode. Combining that with a netherite armor will essentially make it an endgame armor.

Projectile Protection is a specific kind of protection enchantment that solely focuses on reducing the damage taken from projectiles like arrows, fireworks, etc. This can also be great during PvP fights, as players tend to shoot loads of arrows from a distance as well.

However, it is worth mentioning that it is incompatible with regular protection, meaning they cannot be put on the same armor part.

During PvP fights in a regular world, there are chances that players might fall from a high place, take major fall damage, and die. While they can perform a water bucket MLG and save themselves, an alternate emergency strategy is to use Feather Falling.

Mending might not be particularly useful in a PvP fight, but it can be used to save a particular armor part that is precious. It is a treasure enchantment that allows an item to automatically repair itself by absorbing XP orbs picked up by the player.

If they have a great amor with loads of excellent enchantments, Mending can ensure that the part never breaks.

Thorns is a unique kind of enchantment that can also be used during PvP battles in Minecraft, but it is not the most effective. When it is applied to an armor part and the player gets hit by an attack, the attacker will suffer the same amount of damage as they inflicted.

This means that if the gamer wearing the thorn-enchanted armor loses two hearts, the enemy player will also lose two hearts.
