Best armor enchantments in Minecraft
Enchanting your armor gives you an edge in combat and dangerous situations. There are many different enchantments that are great in different types of situations, so sometimes it might be hard to choose which one you want on your new shiny armor. So today, I made a list of the top 3 best Minecraft armor enchantments to make your choice easier.
Keep in mind, that this list is only based on my personal opinion, if I exclude your favorite enchantment, it doesn’t mean that it’s bad in any way.
Helmet enchantments
We start off our list with helmet enchantments. These are unique because the helmet is the only armor piece that can help you survive longer underwater. So here are the top 3 best enchantments for the helmet:
- Respiration – Extends your underwater breathing time. You will be able to swim underwater for a lot longer, useful when exploring the underground temples.
- Aqua Affinity – This enchantment allows you to mine and dig underwater at normal speeds. Without it, you are 5 times slower performing those actions while swimming.
- Protection - Probably the best all-around enchantment. Gives you more protection in combat.
Chestplate enchantments
The chestplates give you the most armor, but at the same time, they are the most expensive to craft. But once you get that shiny netherite chestplate you will be walking around like an absolute unit. So here are the top 3 best chestplate enchantments in Minecraft.
- Protection - This is the best enchantment you can add to your chestplate, because of the high amount of armor it adds. Gives you more protection in combat.
- Unbreaking - Since the chestplate is already expensive enough as it is, it would be a shame to break it. Gives the armor more durability.
- Mending - This enchantment uses the XP you gain to repair your armor. This works perfectly with the Unbreaking enchantment.
Legging enchantments
Like the chestplate, leggings don’t have any unique enchantments, but they aren’t useless. Leggings give you a nice amount of armor and cover your private parts at the same time. We will be using the same enchantments as we did for the chestplate.
- Protection - This is the best enchantment you can give to your leggings, because of the high amount of armor it adds. Gives you more protection in combat.
- Unbreaking - Leggings are the second most expensive armor piece so let’s not break them. Gives the armor more durability.
- Mending - This enchantment uses the XP you gain to repair your armor. This works perfectly with the Unbreaking enchantment.
Boots enchantments
The boots give you the least amount of armor, but they make up for it with their unique enchantments. They can help navigate various types of terrain faster and more efficiently. So here are the top 3 boots enchantments.
- Frost Walker – Frost Walker allows you to walk on water by turning water into ice when you step on it. And you won't take damage when stepping on magma blocks. Useful if you want to cross a lake quickly.
- Depth Strider - This enchantment lets you swim a lot faster. Mix it with Aqua Affinity and Respiration to feel like a fish in water
- Feather Falling – Reduces falling damage by a great amount. Great enchantment when climbing steep hills and mountains.
