10 best enchantments for making Minecraft easy

1) Fortune

Fortune is almost too powerful. It increases the number of items that drop when a Minecraft ore is mined. At the maximum level, it quadruples the maximum number of items that can drop. This drastically reduces the amount of time that players will need to grind for resources, freeing them up for actually playing the game.

2) Looting

Looting is an incredible Minecraft weapon enchantment for many of the same reasons that Fortune is great for tools. It causes mobs to drop more of their common items and also increases the rate at which they drop their rare items. The effect isn't minor either, typically adding one drop per level and one percentage point to drop rates per level.

3) Silk Touch

Outside of Fortune, Silk Touch is the most useful utility tool enchantment. It doesn't increase the resources that a player gets, but it does make it possible to get entirely new, normally unobtainable, items. For example, Silk Touch tools can collect leaves, ice, glass, bee nests, and many other things that players normally wouldn't be able to get.

4) Protection

Protection is, by far, the best armor enchantment in the game. While it provides less damage reduction than specific variants, such as Blast or Projectile Protection, the fact that it applies to all damage more than makes up for this. The damage reduction is equal to four percent per level, up to a maximum of 64% with fully enchanted armor.

5) Mending

Mending is an incredibly handy enchantment for gear with other buffs. It allows items to restore durability by consuming XP that gets collected. This means that fully enchanted gear can last indefinitely, so long as players take the time to stop and repair it occasionally. This is what makes Mending so good.

6) Infinity

Infinity is one of the most interesting Minecraft bow enchantments as it causes the weapon to not consume regular arrows when fired. This means that a single arrow can be fired until the weapon breaks. This enchantment makes using a bow much easier, as players don't need to worry about crafting arrows or remembering to grab more when out.

7) Feather Fall

Feather Fall is one of the best enchantments for boots that players can get. Normally, they will die after falling only 23 blocks. At its maximum level, however, Feather Falling can extend this distance out to a whopping 42 blocks. Falls are a very common way to cause significant damage, so removing them as a threat is great for survival.

8) Riptide

Riptide is an interesting utility enchantment that totally changes how Minecraft tridents work. A trident enchanted with Riptide can no longer be thrown normally. If a player is in water, the trident will instead launch them forward, potentially up into the air. When it rains, they can trident-launch through the air, which allows for infinite flight.

9) Wind Burst

Wind Burst is one of Minecraft 1.21's mace enchantments. It allows players to spring back up into the air after landing a smash attack. This is an incredibly powerful effect, as it means that they can chain high-damage smash attacks together. This makes it easy to kill even high-health targets without getting hurt at all.

---

10) Respiration

Respiration is one of the best Minecraft armor enchantments in the game. When placed on helmets, it increases the amount of time that players can hold their breath, making water much less lethal. Each level of respiration adds 15 seconds of underwater time, maxing out at an extra 45 seconds.
