Ranking EVERY Enchantment In Minecraft 

Edit: After looking at the comments, yeah I’d probably move riptide up, just under sweeping edge. I still don’t think it’s great but I underrated it. Fire protection still sucks though everyone saying it’s good are insane. I wonder which enchantment fan I’ll upset with this video

Fire protection is good because you can remove it with the grindstone for xp. That’s it. That’s the only redeeming quality.

Can’t wait for the inevitable dirt ranking video.

Swift Sneak's added speed on bridging is an absolute delight. Imagine bridging, building high builds or in high places while retaining the safety of shifting with the speed of walking.

I rarely see anyone mention the fact that piercing hits players through shields. I think that makes it a worth enough enchantment in a PvP scenario, and while it might not be a game changing enchant, I feel like it deserves more credit for it.

22:45 Minor correction: Protection does, in fact, resist magic and falling. The only damage types that can penetrate Protection are starvation, the Warden's laser, void damage, and /kill.

Swift sneak is SOOO useful when building. When you need to sneak to place blocks at the end of others, this enchantment saves so much time

swift sneek is actually really good for building in high up places, it lets u move around quick-ish without worry of falling.

A cool feature of riptide is that if it is used in your offhand and you have a weapon in your main hand, any enchantments on the main hand weapon will apply to the spin on impact. I’d honestly recommend having two tridents for this exact reason.

Just a quick note: Swift Sneak is INCREDIBLY useful when bridging. It cuts time by a WIDE margin

The reason why fire protection is in the bottom tier reminded me that potions exist and that makes me want to see a potion effect ranking 😅

You forgot to mention one thing about fire aspect/flame. If the fire kills the mob, and u have looting on ur sword, the mob wont give u more drops. It will basically ignore looting. Also sweeping edge makes a huge difference in endermen farms

Punch on a bow can be pretty darn useful for pvp and pve. Keeping a target away from you and enabling you to keep using your bow is pretty good.

Fortune got a buff as iron, and other ores got turned into items that can now finally be affected by fortune which is really nice

Mojang needs to add a new spider boss to the game to actually give BoA an actual niche in-game.

Blast protection is super underrated. I wouldnt reccomend having it on every piece or anything, but having it on just one can help a lot especially in hardcore. 3 pieces of protection armour or 2 if youre wearing elytra already stops almost anything from killing you with explosions being the last real thing that can, so it stops those in particular

Advocating for swift sneak !! Sneaking hides your gamertag in most pvp gamemodes, making sneak attacks, flanking attacks, escaping, and avoiding danger altogether MUCH easier. In any prolonged engagement especially involving complex and multileveled terrain/architecture, a treeline, and/or especially underground you get a very substantial leg up and if you and your opponent are both trying to sneak to reposition or racing to grab an important item you will be able to outmaneuver them every time. Also its good for mining ravine walls and making a bridge over ledges especially in places like the nether or end. Swift sneak is underrated imo

I think Projectile Protection should be even lower. For just 1 Iron Ingot you can make a shield which just Blocks 100% of the damage of Arrows (or Creeper Explosions btw). The only thing I can give it is that it doesn't have a potion effect and when you fight 3 or more Skeletons at the same time, you might not block all the arrows.

I think Fortune needs to be higher because most people aren't looking to put it on there shovel and it also works on crops, so its useful if you don't automatic farms

Riptide is easily one of the most fun enchantments to get. You can outpace any player in the water, even if they have boats and you can fly around on a rainy day without an elytra. This is great in servers that outright ban elytras. When combined with one, you go so fast that you can crash servers. The main problem with Riptide is that Depth Strider works against it. For some reason, while you can launch yourself horizontally 30 blocks in one swing, with Depth Strider that value is cut by half (15 blocks). It has something to do with 'drag'. If Mojang fixed Riptide and Depth Strider and made it so that Depth Strider instead DOUBLED the dash from Riptide, I would love it SO much.

20:42 If you have fletcher villagers, they have a trade where they take in flint in return for emeralds. This can be way more useful than a block of gravel

With Riptide, most people just have two Tridents in there hot bar. It works as a really good way to start flying, since you don’t need to get to high ground, and everybody keeps water buckets on them 24/7 anyways.

A note with piercing is that the arrows retain special qualities so it can be a nice way to stretch out your supply of tipped arrows

Thanks for making it clear about FP. I'm playing Minecraft bedrock (now also java) for over 10 years and never thought how unworthy difference between fire protection and regular protection really is! Tbh I really didn't think that vid would surprise me smh or tell something new, but clicked it and really enjoyed. Keep going on!

Swift sneak is quite amazing when you build stuff. It might not seem like a lot of time saved but when you are in the air placing a ton of blocks/bridging its very noticeable.

I personally like setting up a tiny pool at the highest point of my base, launching off with riptide then flying off. Saves a bit on the fireworks + it's just fun

If protections could stack, the 3 other protections would be ranked much higher.

bro, 2:07 Shaq really got me off guard 🤣🤣 great video btw 😃

You forgot that if you have a riptide trident and your in a fight, you can get out of that fight in an instant if there is water near you

How to get a pet trident: Throw a loyalty trident, while it is gone, fill your inventory, and it will follow you everywhere you go.

13:25 if you’re building large projects that require a lot of shifting on the edge of blocks and placing, swift sneak is probably the best enchantment.

I don't know if this changed with recent updates, but I think you massively underestimate the specialized protection enchantments. This is because AFAIK, armor protection value is actually capped. If you have diamond armor, just putting protection IV on two pieces of it is enough to reach the cap. Every protection you put on it after that is entirely useless, so you might as well put fire and projectile protection on the other two pieces. Especially since it only takes ONE of these protections to reach their respective cap.

Idk how I've just barely found you but the video is great and the edits are top notch

I doubt this would've affected it's ranking, but Fire Aspect has an interesting quirk to it on Bedrock. Items with Fire Aspect (including enchantment books) can be used to light Candles/Campfires/TNT. Meaning if you happen to have a Fire Aspect book, you effectively have an infinite use Flint+Steel.

I like how you built themed rooms for each enchantment.

Fortune 3 is also useful for farming. You can put it in a hoe and have multiple drops from crops. Yes, with auto-farm it becames pretty useless, but it cost nothing (talking about enchantments space) and at the beginning is useful: you can farm faster, take the excess for bone meal (composter) or trade with villagers faster.

13:25 swift sneak is another enchant that is significantly better in bedrock edition, because in bedrock your shield is active only when crouching, so faster crouch means faster movement while shielding

Sweeping edge is actually a very good enchantment for one specific reason: mob farming. Now, while regular mob farms might not require sweeping edge, the easiest raid farm DOES require it for efficient afking, and it might be the most op farm in the game.

I'm very happy odyssey mentioned the carved pumpkin and curse of binding, had way too much fun doing that to friends as a kid

I had to point that out because I use it pretty often: netherite axe with smite 5 one-shots unarmored undeads not only with crits, but with the normal hits too. It's pretty nice when you don't want to fight the zombies spawning around your base for too long.

Other problems with Infinity is that you need at least 1 arrow in your inventory for it to work, which could waste a slot, and tipped and spectral arrows aren’t affected by Infinity

Silk touch is awesome and has a feature that wasnt mentioned. So if anyone didn't know: If you mine a gold ore in the nether without silk touch you get gold nugget. And you need 9 for a gold ingot. If you mine a gold ore in the nether with silk touch you get the block. If you put that block in a furnace you get a gold ingot. So for creating g apples or g carrots or trading with piglins its super easy to get gold.

Piercing on crossbows is great for curing villagers (even tho lingering potions are late game) you can make a tipped arrow of weakness or trade for them. Firing a piercing crossbow with the weakness arrow will not only give the zombie villager weakness, but you can use it multiple times.

This helped me so much, I knew nothing about enchanting Ty

Use Riptide with a few water buckets and the slow falling potion, you can then launch from anywhere and land softly, but it's still better in a storm

For fortune shovels, 1: you can just get a silk touch shovel instead, 2: flint can be traded to villagers and is a decent way to farm emeralds while netherite mining

Great video. Glad you had fun making it.

"Keep Gambling" as your pickaxe name is hilarious and i'm so happy i understand the reference

One thing about fire aspect, in bedrock, it can be used to light campfires, candles, and tnt. While this doesn’t effect your ranking as its Java only, you mentioned impaling in bedrock. Also I think it’s still cool and should come to Java.

11:03 Doesn't hit the pufferfish. Brings 0 attention to it and moves on. What a power move

I think that this is the first ranking that I saw wich really shows arguments to the positions instead of favor the personal opinion. Great, great video. Thank you and congratulations.

one thing to mention is that swift sneak makes bridging faster if you don't want to risk speed bridging

After making a couple builds with the swift sneak enchantment equipped I absolutely can't miss it anymore. It's definitely A tier for me

Love that you brought up the alternative use cases for the curses in multiplayer! While they are objectively *negative* enchantments to have on your gear, I think curses are a great way to balance what is often otherwise powerful gear from loot chests - forcing you to weigh up the pros and cons and decide between equipping it, or leaving it and rolling the dice on better gear without a curse, or investing the time and resources on your own gear, safe from curses. unfortunately villager trading makes all of those choices obsolete as the best option, 100% of the time is to just trade for the gear and books... lmao

Personal commentary: I agree almost 100% with this tierlist. Alas, as I am a Bedrock player, I'd personally rate some things better or worse. Similarly, there are certain enchantments I just value more. So I just wanna share my thoughts on some of these enchantments, in no particular order or ranking. 1) Fire Aspect On Bedrock, this can light TNT, candles, and campfires. It's a shame that it can't light Nether Portals or creepers. That would've made it REALLY good. I still consider it a darn good enchantment, around where ya put Infinity. 2) Quick Charge & Multishot I am a crossbow user foremost. I prefer them over bows because I can keep them preloaded. Also, the potential of firework shots is not to be underestimated. Not like I use elytra much anyway.... As a result, I personally value these significantly more - they'd take the spot you gave to Infinity. 3) Thorns I just don't like this enchantment. I personally would put it in D tier, around Projectile Protection. 4) Lure I don't know if it's true or not, but superstition and hearsay has led me to believe Lure decreases the chances for Luck of the Sea to successfully pull a treasure. I eat bread, so I dislike Lure. I would put it high D tier or low C tier. 5) Impaling You said it yourself. On Bedrock, Impaling is OP - a standing crit with Impaling V Trident deals 21 hearts of damage (aka one-shot somebody in Netherite). For reference, I heard a standing crit from a Sharpness V Netherite Axe deals 13 hearts of damage. Also, tridents drop very often on Bedrock. I personally rank Impaling as around equal to Sharpness. Consequentially, Loyalty is around high A tier. 6) Infinity As a crossbow user, this is useless. However, when I do use bows, it's still useless. I prefer Mending. Personally, this is high D tier. 7) Luck of the Sea Because I like fishing for Mending, and I have had decent luck with the fishing items, I value this enchantment greatly. Low A tier. Amazing for loot. 8) Smite The Bedrock Wither has twice as much HP and is more threatening. I personally rank Smite as barely below Sharpness. Outside of the Wither, I'd just prefer Sharpness. 9) Sweeping Edge I wish this was in Bedrock.

I always have two shovels, one for flint and one for gravel. Either can be used for pretty much anything apart from the gravel shovel being the only that can get grass blocks if needed. My reasoning behind this is that if you can find an extreme hills biome, there's a TON of gravel there and a fletcher, which everyone has anyway for emerald trading from sticks, can also buy 24 flint for an emerald. Have 6-8 fletchers and you won't be having any problems with emeralds anytime soon as you can trade with sticks and flint for an emerald each trade.

Great Video as Always! Small side note on Unbreaking however: Contrary to what seems to be somewhat popular belief, Unbreaking doesn't *increase* item durability. It simply makes it to where theres a chance for an item to not use up durability upon use (breaking blocks, taking damage, etc) This theoretically means that if you have some god-tier terrible luck, you can burn through an entire tool without Unbreaking being used ONCE. Of course, it's still great to have Unbreaking when you can, but just something funny to think about.

7:00 I think that riptide is very good because you can just put a water bucket right beside you to activate the riptide and collect the water right before launching, effectively removing the requirement of being underwater

11:38 compliments how this enchantment makes rain more exciting, but complains about riptide for the same reason. make up your mind dude, riptide is amazing

personally, Swift Sneak is pretty useful especially if you like building alot since building requires alot of shift usage and makes the movement while building slightly faster

Note with piercing: -when using tipped arrows, you can pick them up again after it hit its target, meaning that you could shoot yourself with a positive effect and do so infinitely -it goes through shields (although no mobs spawn with shields)

Swift Sneak is actually super useful on Multiplayer because you can sneak to hide your nametag while also moving the same speed you would walking normally, so I actually really like this enchantment.

Regarding fortune shovel Fletchers buy flint from you too, that might not seem enough to justify choosing fortune over silk touch, but you can basically already get infinite gravel from piglins, and with a bartering farm, that infinite gravel becomes even more infinite(also the string they give you is also villager profitable). So while silk touch is still a superior enchant, don't leave out fortune completely(especially when you're just too rich that you can afford to make another shovel).

I think multishot is solid just because of cross bow stacking, which ik is a very niche thing but it allows you to quickly drop people in PvP so it’s worth mentioning.

Fire protection is sort of useful as it is capped at a certain amount, so by replacing one piece of your regular prot 4 with fire protection 4, it will max out the EPF (enchantment protection factor) Plus, if you combine all protection enchantments in 1.14 and update your world to 1.20 then it is really good

Bro riptide is really good for saving firework rockets, with elytra if you spam spacebar when you riptide you go mega far and will save a ton of rockets. Its especially better when you consider that tridents aren't super good for combat in java (a separate issue) so while yeah channeling is unique riptide is also a good option and usually the first I go for on a trident.

If not for this video I would have just accepted fire protection instead of going to the grindstone every time I get it thanks for saving my pride odyssey

I love that you have super Mario galaxy music. That’s literally the best video game ever made. Thank you

The sad thing about Tridents in Minecraft is how Drown spawns and Trident drop rates are so different in Bedrock and Java Edition. In Bedrock Edition from my experience they are one of the most common enemies and have a higher chance to drop a Trident than Java but on Java Edition Drowns are hard to find and Tridents have a very low chance to drop. This has locked Java players out of the most efficient killing mechanism in Minecraft. The Trident Killer. What makes it amazing is that the Trident uses the effects of what you are holding. So if you are holding a looting 3 sword the Trident will use looting 3 and it will drop XP and this is why both Editions should have high Drop rates for Tridents but make Drowns have a low chance of spawning.

14:30 Actually, you don't even need a critical hit. A Smite V netherite sword, netherite axe and diamond axe will take out undead mobs in one normal hit. A Smite V diamond sword can do it with one critical hit.

Fortune III on a shovel can actually be useful when gathering flint to trade with weapon Smith villagers, especially when you make their prices drop to 1

I don't think blast protection is bad, in fact in a hardcore world it is practically mandatory to fear at least one piece with it, to avoid problems with sneky creepers

Insane that you put riptide so low. Free launches with elytra without needing rockets. In the rain, the speed of travel is incredible. Also, if you are doing anything underwater from mining blue ice, hunting guardians, drowned, squids, etc. Or searching for sniffer eggs it's going to make things far faster.

Correction: Unbreaking works differently for armor. It only increases durability like 43%. 300% is still right for everything else.

I recently started using the enchant and repair mod for forge. It rebalances enchants to promote more adventuring and repairing of armor rather than just immediately making god armor that never breaks.

21:50 i Love how he shows only a button XD

Take note that all prot enchantments (that arent default protection) only require one piece of armor to gain its full effect. So you could get one piece of armor with blast prot and have its full effect, resisting any blasts

I will say about the Riptide enchanment is that you can pair it with a potion of slow falling and completely negate the chances of you dying by fall damage when flying around in the air. It actually works really well. I will agree with you though it’s nowhere near the level of Loyalty and Channeling. However it’s still a cool feature worth mentioning.

Projectile protection would be best used if you live in a snow biome. Take it from me someone who lived in a snow biome during 1.18 stray’s are the main mob, and they are belligerent and numerous. You will come to know their slowness arrows well, and at points you will come to hate them more then creepers. Also pro tip if you ever decide to live in a snow biome wait until the snow layers pile up they go up to a block and 1 layer. Trust me it’s easier to build everything 1 block higher then to shovel out your driveway every time it rains. Which it does a loooot.

Swift sneak is pretty useful for building, anyone that’s had to shift for like, 10 straight minutes as they build up in the air knows how slow it feels and having the movement be significantly faster without risking falling because you’re not sneaking is great.

Fire Protection definitely isn't worse than Bane of Arthropods and Projectile Protection, you probably didn't know but there is a cap for how much Protection can protect from and that actually means that the best option is to have 3 armor pieces with Protection (Best to exclude the chest-plate) and the last one should have another enchantment and imo it's between Blast Protection and Fire Protection. Blast Protection can come in clutch to help with a deadly explosion but that wont happen often whereas protecting from fire can be helpful in more situations, I'd still maybe give the edge to Blast Protection but it's not significantly better.

Curse of binding is top #3 because you can troll your friend in ways they might even have to get a brand new set of armor if you put it on before they enchant.

Swift sneak can be really useful when you are building something and you have to sneak to not fall off, it makes farm building a lot faster for me

Piercing is actually good if you have a villager trading hall and arrows of weakness. You can safe yourself making the weakness potion and hit 5 villagers with one weakness arrow, which you can get from fletcher villagers, and you can even pick up the arrow afterwards

Small error at 22:45 - Protection *does* reduce damage from falling as well, making it combine with feather falling perfectly.

12:25 as a fire aspect user, a simple fix is hitting the enderman with a sharpness 5 axe crit then finishing it off with your sword for the looting bonus (or just continuing with the axe if you have an enderman farm)

Piercing is hella good if you play around it. Is it more tedious than Infinity on a bow? Yeah but I'll take that over Infinity since it means I can retrieve things like tipped arrows more often vs Infinity only working on normal arrows. Having discount Infinity as well as Mending is a great combination and being able to hit multiple mobs with it during something like a Villager raid I find very useful.

I'm honestly quite surprised by how low Riptide was ranked, I would honestly consider it a B tier or even A tier enchantment, it's great for mobility and its only real downside can be negated by simply carrying a water bucket with you (something most players already do).

riptide is my favorite enchantment I'm surprised you rated it so low. It's really useful for traveling when you don't have a elytra yet because you can just place a water bucket wait for it to spread a bit then pick it back up and before all the water disappears you have more than enough time to use the trident to fly forward, when you get good with it it's pretty fast and really fun

I would say with recent updates, that Blast protection is pretty good for new PVP, considering items such as TNT and End Crystals can be deadly when used correctly.

Fire protection actually helped me once when i was digging netherites below a giant lava lake. I finally decided to swim to the surface by just taking lava damage. 😂

6:25 riptide is op. You can also use it to trident pearl. Riptide is better than loyalty

Swift sneak is one of the best enchantments, because when you're building anything, it requires a lot of sneaking, so the enchantment can really fasten the process.

Swift Sneak is really good for building out because you can place blocks faster while crouched. One of my favourite perks now. HUGE time saver.

I love slick touch bc the gold in the nether drops the block witch can be smelted into gold ingots instead of mining it and getting gold nuggets

Fire protection would be B or A if you could stack it with regular protection. If you had both enchantments on a full set of armor, it would probably negate the use of fire potions entirely. Unfortunately though, it sucks

Swift sneak can be useful on bedrock as you have to crouch to use shields, allowing you to move faster while blocking and also can be useful in pvp as nametags are invisible when crouching

I usually put infinity on my bow instead of mending because skeletons can also drop bows and if you have a skeleton farm you have a bunch of bows so you can easily repair your bow and running out of arrows is more common than your bow breaking 16:25

I love how you used song of storms for the channeling enchantment
