Minecraft: What are the Best Weapon Enchantments? - GIVEMESPORT

Weapon Enchantments in Minecraft give players the ability to boost their weaponry to gain an advantage over the many enemies in-game, but what are the best ones?

Minecraft is mainly a game based on crafting and building structures either in free game or survival, with weapons being a vital part of the survival aspect of the game.

Here’s everything you need to know about the best weapon enchantments that are available in Minecraft.

There are a number of different types of weapons in Minecraft, and these can be equipped with enchantments to boost damage.

Sword & Axe

Sharpness – This enchantment increases damage
Knockback – Will knock back enemies on hit
Sweeping Edge (sword only) – This means that your attacks will hit enemies in a wider area in front of the player character
Smite – This enchantment deals extra damage to undead enemies such as Skeletons and Zombies. This can also be stacked with Sharpness
Fire Aspect – This will set the target on fire for between three and seven additional damage
Unbreaking – Will give the item more durability

Trident

Loyalty – Ensures that the Trident returns to the user once thrown
Channeling – This will make the Trident cause a lightning strike if a thunderstorm is happening in-game
Impaling – This enchantment increases damage
Unbreaking – Will give the item more durability
Riptide

Bow & Crossbow

Infinity – This enchantment gives you unlimited arrows
Power – Will increase the damage of arrow attacks
Punch – This gives arrows a knock back effect
Flame – Will turn arrows into fire arrows, which set enemies on fire
Unbreaking – Will give the item more durability
Multishot (crossbow only) – Means that the crossbow can fire multiple arrows at once in a spread formation

Critical Hits

Another aspect of dealing more damage in Minecraft is the Critical Hit. Landing a Critical Hit can mean that a weapon does bonus damage on top of the bonuses from the enchantment.

Melee weapons can only issue a Critical Hit when the player character is falling, increasing damage by 150%.

Ranged weapons can issue a Critical Hit that goes up to 190%, but this occurs on a random chance. It’s fair to say that Ranged combat is better in terms of getting Critical Hits on enemies, as it does not require the player to get into a specific position on the battlefield.
