Yes, we are still playing Minecraft. Yes, we love it as much as we ever did, and yes, WePC’s Minecraft gaming hub is about to start growing in line with how much attention one of the best games of all time fully deserves.
So if there are certain things you need to know, or even that you have just forgotten if you are coming back to the game, you will eb able to find what you need right here.
What is Quick Charge in Minecraft?
Quick Charge is an enchantment that allows you to quickly reload a crossbow – something that is super useful in hairy situations. Quick Charge will reduce the time it takes to reload the crossbow with arrows (or fireworks) from the usual 1.25 seconds down to an amazing half a second at the top enchantment level.
The loading time reduces by 0.25 seconds for each enchantment level up to a maximum of three.
Therefore using some quick Minecraft Maths we get:
- Unenchanted: 1.25 seconds
- Level 1: 1 second
- Level 2: 0.75 seconds
- Level 3: 0.5 seconds
How to get Quick Charge in Minecraft
Quick Charge I and Quick Charge II can be obtained through loot drops in dungeons. You might also find them in strongholds. They can also be obtained using an enchanting table or by fishing.
Quick Charge III on the other hand takes a little more work and has to be found by trading with a librarian in a village. Finding it out in the wild requires a little more luck and searching in chests in desert pyramids or old mineshafts.
How to use Quick Charge in Minecraft
Once your crossbow has been enchanted, all you need to do is simply operate it as normal. The crossbow will magically glow to highlight it contains an enchantment and from then on you can just enjoy the fruits of reloading much quicker than you previously could.
Minecraft Quick Charge Max Level
The maximum you can Quick Charge your crossbow up to is Level 3.
Minecraft Quick Charge Console Commands
If you want to speed things up even further and do not want to be bothered with the faff of finding the enchants yourself you can always head into the Minecraft console with a cheeky press of the / key and, with a crossbow in hand, enchant it with the following commands.
/enchant @p quick_charge 1/enchant @p quick_charge 2/enchant @p quick_charge 3If you would rather enchant in your own time rather than adding it directly to the crossbow, you can simply add an enchanted book to your inventory with the following command.
/give @p enchanted_book{StoredEnchantments:[{id:quick_charge,lvl:1}]} 1When was Quick Charge added to Minecraft?
Quick Charge came to the Java edition of Minecraft in version 1.14 (18w43a) and was added to the Bedrock Edition in beta 1.8.0.10
