Enchantments are some of the most powerful buffs that you'll have access to in Minecraft survival.

However, if an item is used too many times in an anvil, it becomes impossible to do anything else with it.

This makes knowing the optimal way to enchant items vital to survival. Thankfully, the community has made calculators that will tell you what the proper order for this is. All you need to know about using an enchanting calculator to find the optimal way to make the best gear can be found detailed below.
