The Minecraft enchantments can turn ordinary tools into game-changing assets or leave you stuck with some frustrating gimmicks. Whether you are mining diamonds or battling mobs, choosing the right enchantments is the key. Here are the three must-haves and three avoid-at-all-cost enchantments you must know about.
3 Powerful Minecraft Enchantments
Mending
It is an ultimate game saver that lets you say goodbye to the frantic crafting sessions. It repairs the gear using the experience points orbs. It makes it indispensable for long-term survival. When paired with Unbreaking and Netherite armor or a diamond sword, it becomes nearly immortal.
With Mending, just mine, fight or farm. Keep the gear pristine.
Unbreaking
It offers durability on steroids. Unbreaking enchantments slash the wear and tear. It lets the armor and tools withstand brutal use.
At level III, the Unbreaking triples the lifespan of the item. Combine it with Mending for the gear, which would last forever. It will free you to raid the ocean monuments or explore the Nether without any fear.
Looting
Wish to look like a pro? Use Looting III on the sword, and the mobs will drop the rare treasures like Wither Skulls and Ender Pearls far more often. It is a perfect goldmine for explorers and farmers, turning the routine battles into lucrative hauls. Plus, the cooked meat from the passive mobs, do try it.
3 Useless Enchantments to Skip
Bane of Arthropods
The enchantment is the spiders’ worst energy and a player’s wasted slot. The enchantment boosts the damage to silverfish, spiders, and bees.
Skip it instead of limiting yourself. Smite and Sharpness offer a broader damage boost against all enemies. So, unless you are roleplaying as the exterminator, skip the niche pick.
Curse of Vanishing
It’s a prank in the enchantment form. The cursed items will vanish with your death. It makes it ideal to troll your friends, but it can be disastrous for survival mode. Imagine losing the maxed Netherite pickaxe to the lava mishap. Just pain. No retrieval.
Frost Walker
It might seem to be a cool concept, but it comes with zero utility. The Frost Walker will let you walk on the water by freezing it. It might sound fun, but the Depth Strider boots or boats are much more versatile and faster. Plus, the frozen lakes can ruin buildings and farms. So, save the XP to do something useful.
