List of all Minecraft enchantments and their uses

One of Minecraft's best features is that players can place weapon enchantments on just about anything. Enchantments can be placed on armor, tridents, swords, pickaxes, bows, axes, hoes, etc!

Enchantments are placed using an enchantment table or using an enchanted book in an anvil. If players would like better enchantments they will need to reach a higher experience level (the green bar) for the most powerful enchantments since enchantments cost experience levels.

Players may get stronger enchantments placed on the enchantment table by adding bookshelves around the table. Enchanting tables are crafted out of four obsidian two diamonds and one book.

Players may also find their own enchanted books around the world inside chests or other treasures. Players will need to place these in an anvil along with the item that they wish to enchant. Anvils are crafted using four iron ingots and three blocks of iron.

This article will give players a list of all the enchantments in Minecraft and what they do!

What does all the enchantments in Minecraft do?

The max level of enchantment for unbreaking is level three.

Thorns

The thorns enchantment in Minecraft can be good for numerous things, but it also has a downside.
