Much like our real world, the oceans of Minecraft remain unexplored even after a decade after the game’s release. Most players go there to kill mobs or get loot from monuments. But with some planning, you can discover almost all the game’s ores and more in Minecraft’s water bodies. And with the presence of Warden in Minecraft, the caves are no longer safe anyways. However, the only problem is that Minecraft doesn’t allow you to mine correctly underwater. That’s where this handy guide comes in. We have covered the Aqua Affinity enchantment in Minecraft, which is the most reliable countermeasure to mining and exploring the water. We have included details about Aqua Affinity’s unique effects, spawning, and more. So, with further ado, let’s get started!
Aqua Affinity Enchantment in Minecraft (2022)
We will first cover the details and functioning of Aqua Affinity enchantment. But feel free to directly skip to the steps to acquire this useful enchantment using the table below.
Mining Underwater in Minecraft
Mining on the ground is relatively straightforward in Minecraft. You have to use a pickaxe and our Minecraft ore distribution guide to get any ore in the game. And the source material for the pickaxe defines how fast and effectively you can mine a block. But all of that changes when your character enters the water.
When a player’s head goes under the water, their mining speed decreases heavily. As a result, it takes about five times longer to mine underwater than on the ground. No type of pickaxe is exempt from this effect. Similarly, if you are floating in the water, there’s a separate five times decrease in the mining speed. So, it can take up to 25 times longer for you to mine than mining outside the water.
What is Aqua Affinity Enchantment?
Aqua Affinity is Minecraft’s solution to counter the mining penalty underwater. It is a helmet enchantment that increases your mining speed. You can apply Aqua Affinity enchantment on any helmet, including a turtle shell in the game. With it applied, your mining speed underwater becomes as much as your mining speed on land. All the mining penalties applied by the game are automatically ignored.
As the clip above shows, there is no difference in mining speed underwater and on the ground with Aqua Affinity active. Now, many of you might be wondering – are there multiple levels to this enchantment? Is there Aqua Affinity 2? And well, the answer is no. There is only one level of Aqua Affinity and you can’t make your mining speed faster underwater than on the land.
How to Get Aqua Affinity Enchantment in Minecraft
Even with rare functionality, Aqua Affinity is not a treasure enchantment. Instead, you can quickly obtain it using books, enchanting tables, and even chest loot. Feel free to try out each method till you find the one that feels most convenient and easiest to use.
