The primary function of armor is to protect players against attacks. This enchantment increases the protection level of the armor, making it stronger.

Since there is no other armor that is stronger than Netherite, players can squeeze more power out of it with this powerup. The enchantment has four different levels and can be applied to any armor part.

8) Mending

Mending is arguably the most craved treasure enchantment in Minecraft. When players craft a Netherite armor, they wish to use it to the fullest but also prevent it from breaking. Sooner or later, all armor parts break since they have limited durability, even after using the Unbreaking enchantment.

This is where Mending comes into play. The enchantment enables the armor part to absorb XP points picked up by the player to heal itself, making it invincible.
