Best Minecraft Enchantments for Every Item

Every item type accepts a different set of enchantments. The tables below list exactly which enchantments apply to each item in Minecraft 26.2, with their maximum level, pulled live from the game data — so newly added enchantments show up here the moment a version ships. Once you have picked a loadout, drop it into the enchantment calculator to get the cheapest anvil order.

A handful of enchantments are worth chasing on almost anything that supports them: Mending (repairs the item with XP, so it never wears out), Unbreaking (multiplies durability), and the protection or damage enchantment appropriate to the item. Treasure enchantments like Mending only come as books, so plan the combine carefully — see how enchanting works.

Mutually exclusive enchantments (for example Sharpness, Smite and Bane of Arthropods, or the four armor protection types) can’t all go on one item — the calculator disables conflicting picks automatically and computes the cheapest order for whatever you choose. To understand the experience cost behind that order, see how anvil cost is calculated.
