Top 5 best weapon enchantments in Minecraft 2021

Minecraft enchantments are abilities that players can place on just about anything in Minecraft to make it stronger or to protect the player from certain elements.

Enchantments are placed using an enchantment table or using an enchanted book inside of an anvil. If players want to get stronger enchantments, they will need to reach a higher experience level for the most powerful enchantments.

Enchantments can be placed on weapons in Minecraft. Swords, pickaxes, axes, tridents, bows, crossbows, hoes, and shovels can all be enchanted using an enchantment table in Minecraft.

Some enchantments are better than others for certain weapons, and some enchantments are exclusive to certain weapons. For example, infinity is exclusive to bows and can only be placed on bows.

Players can find enchanted weapons around the world in Minecraft inside chests and commonly at shipwrecks, or they can even trade villagers for enchanted weapons. Overall though, it is easier for a player to just create an enchanted weapon.

In this article, players will learn the five best enchantments to be placed on weapons in Minecraft in 2021!
