5 best Minecraft enchantments for weapons in 2021

Minecraft has a wide variety of weapons for players to choose from, including bows, swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes and even tridents.

Some of these weapons are used to kill mobs and other players, while others are used for tasks such as farming or mining.

Although all of these weapons can be used to kill a mob or a player, each one is useful for a specific task. For example, a pickaxe is ideal for mining, an axe is great for cutting wood and a sword is best for killing mobs.

The best part about all of these weapons is that they can be enchanted. However, the question is: what is the best enchantment across all weapons in Minecraft?
