Each enchanted book has one of the enchantments listed below. Some enchantments also have an enchantment level, indicated as a [roman numeral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals), with higher levels corresponding to more powerful effects for the enchantment. ### Efficiency [Efficiency](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Efficiency) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that increases the player's [mining](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Breaking) speed. [Tools](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tool) of any material except stone or diamond can receive up to Efficiency V. Stone and diamond tools can receive up to level IV. ### Thorns [Thorns](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Thorns) is an [armor](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Armor) [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that causes attackers to be damaged when they deal damage to the wearer of the armor. Thorns III cannot be directly obtained using an [enchanting table](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchanting_table), but it can be obtained by using an anvil to combine two Thorns II enchantments, by [trading](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Trading#Librarian) with villagers, or by finding an item enchanted with it from a loot chest. ### Unbreaking [Unbreaking](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Unbreaking) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that gives a chance for an item to avoid [durability](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Durability) reduction when it is used, effectively increasing the item's durability. Items can be enchanted up to Unbreaking III. ### Frost Walker [Frost Walker](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Frost_Walker) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) to [boots](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Boots) that creates [frosted ice](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Frosted_ice) blocks when walking over water, and causes the wearer to be immune to damage from certain blocks such as [campfires](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Campfire) and [magma blocks](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Magma_block). Boots can be enchanted up to Frost Walker II. ### Mending [Mending](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mending) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that restores [durability](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Durability) of an item using [experience](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Experience). This occurs when you collect experience. If your experience level does not increase when you collect experience orbs it is most likely because you are wearing armor or wielding a weapon with this enchantment. ### Curse of Binding [Curse of Binding](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Curse_of_Binding) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that prevents the removal of a cursed [item](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Item) from its armor slot. ### Curse of Vanishing [Curse of Vanishing](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Curse_of_Vanishing) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) for items that causes the item to disappear upon death. ### Soul Speed [Soul Speed](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_Speed) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that can be applied on [boots](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Boots) and allows the player to walk more quickly on [soul sand](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_sand) and [soul soil](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_soil). Boots can be enchanted up to Soul Speed III. ### Swift Sneak [Swift Sneak](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Swift_Sneak) is a non-renewable [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that can be applied to [leggings](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Leggings) and allows the player to walk more quickly while [sneaking](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Sneaking). Leggings can be enchanted up to Swift Sneak III. ### Wind Burst [Wind Burst](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wind_Burst) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) exclusively for the [mace](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mace) that creates a powerful upward [knockback](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Knockback) effect upon executing a [smash attack](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Smash_attack), essentially acting as a more powerful [wind charge](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wind_charge). Unlike wind charges, Wind Burst does not negate fall damage. It is the only mace-exclusive enchantment that cannot be obtained through an enchanting table or villager. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://about.foundationcraft.com/playing-minecraft/enchanted-books.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
