Protection enchantment in Minecraft is a versatile and valuable enchantment that is a must-have for the survival mode. It helps reduce the damage by 80% at level IV from all the sources except hunger and void damage. Whether you are exploring dangerous biomes, battling the mobs, or raiding dungeons, Protection can be an actual game-changer. Here is how you can get it!

Ways to Get Minecraft Protection Enchantment

There are 3 primary methods for acquiring Protection enchantment.

Use Enchantment Table

Place the armor piece— chestplate, helmet, boots, or leggings on the enchantment table.
Spend lapis lazuli and the experience levels to roll for the enchantments.
If the Protection will not appear, reroll by enchanting a different item, like a leather helmet, to reset the options.
Repeat till the Protection enchantment appeals. The method is reliable. But it can cost you lapis and a lot of XP.

Fish for Enchanted Books

Use the Luck of the Sea III fishing rod. It will increase your chance to catch the treasure loot.
The enchanted books have a 1.9% drop rate, and enchantments are random.
While fishing can be a relaxing way to gather resources, it is not the most efficient method for obtaining Protection.

Trade with Villagers

Find/create Librarian Villager. For it, place the lectern near the unemployed villager.
Check the villager’s trade for the enchanted books. If the Protection is not offered, reroll the trades by breaking and replacing the lectern.
After finding the Protection book, trade for the same. The Librarians can restock. It will allow you to buy multiple copies.

Tips to Maximize Chances to get Protection Enchantment

Combine the books- if you can find the lower-level Protection book, like Protection II, combine it with the other in the anvil and create the higher-level version.
Prioritize Librarians- trading is a consistent means to get Protection enchantment, especially at the higher level, such as Protection IV.
Avoid the Incompatible Enchantments- Protection can’t be combined with the other protection type enchantments, like Blast Protection or Fire Protection, on the same armor piece.

Why choose Minecraft Protection Enchantment?

Protection is the universal damage reducer. It makes it ideal for general use. While specialized enchantments like Projectile Protection or Fire Protection are better in some specific cases, Protection brings balanced defense against all threats. It is perfect for the players who wish for an all-purpose and reliable enchantment.
Whether you are enchanting at the table, trading with villagers, or fishing for treasure to obtain Protection, enchantment is worth an effort. It is the cornerstone of the survival gameplay. It ensures you, as a player, remain prepared for all challenges Minecraft throws in your way. So, gear up and enchant the armor. Face the dangers of the blocky world with complete confidence!
