Minecraft: Every Enchantment In The Game (& What It Does)

Enchanting in Minecraft is a way to imbue gear and books with special effects and attributes that can greatly benefit the player. To empower an item, one needs to place it upon an Enchanting Table, preferably in the company of many Bookshelves. By exchanging Experience and lapis lazuli, players can acquire these effects.

There are other methods in which to have something enchanted, such as utilizing an anvil, interacting with a villager, fishing up a random enchanted book, or even when looting dungeons and strongholds. There is a great variety to be found in this expansive world of blocks.

39 Aqua Affinity

Aqua Affinity is a helmet-only enchantment that allows the player to mine faster while underwater.

38 Bane Of Arthropods

This one empowers a sword with an effect that increases damage dealt to all arthropod enemies, such as spiders, cave spiders, silverfish, endermites, and bees.

37 Blast Protection

If one is having trouble with explosives, they should consider upgrading their armor with the Blast Protection enchantment to reduce damage and knockback received.

36 Channeling

This is one that can only be imbued into tridents. It allows the player to call down a bolt of lightning, but only during a storm.

Just be sure to do so outside and while the target is unobstructed.

35 Cleaving

Here's one that grants axes greater damage output and more impact to stun shielded foes.

34 Curse Of Binding

This is an enchantment that can only be found via treasure hunting. When applied to an item in an armor slot, it prevents that item from being removed.

33 Curse Of Vanishing

Here's a wicked one that nobody would want on their weapons, tools, or armor. Upon a player's death, any item with this enchantment will be destroyed.
