Minecraft Efficiency Guide Revealed!

Maximize Your Minecraft Mining: A Guide to Efficiency Enchantment

What Does Efficiency Do?

Efficiency boosts the speed at which tools break blocks, but only for their intended materials (e.g., an axe works faster on trees, not stone). Five levels exist:

• Level I: 25% increased speed.
• Level II: 30% increased speed.
• Level III: 35% increased speed.
• Level IV: 40% increased speed.
• Level V: 45% increased speed (the marginal gain from IV to V is minimal).

This enchantment applies to pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and shears.

• 1 Book

Obtaining Efficiency V

Enchantment tables can't directly create Efficiency V on stone or diamond tools. Combine two identical tools with Efficiency IV on an anvil to achieve this. Alternatively, explore End cities for a chance to find diamond tools already possessing Efficiency V.

Efficiency and Shield Stunning

Beyond mining, Efficiency on axes increases the chance of stunning shields. Level I provides a 25% chance, increasing by 5% with each subsequent level.
