Best Enchantments In Minecraft

If you love long-range combat, try to combine these enchantments in your Minecraft bow:

Power

Power is one of the most common Minecraft weapon enchantments. It increases your bow's damage output by adding 25% more damage to your arrows for each level. That means the Power V bow increases your base arrow damage by a whopping 150%.

Flame

Flame enchantment causes arrows to catch the target on fire and deal 5 Hearts of damage over 5 seconds.

Like the Fire effect in melee weapons, the effect applies after dealing the initial damage. And if you use flaming arrows under the water or rain, they will lose the fire effect.

Unbreaking

Unbreaking is one of the most versatile enchantments in Minecraft. It applies to tools and weapons that have specific durability and make them last longer. By applying Unbreaking III, you ensure that your bow will last much longer.

Punch

Knockback is the most powerful effect caused by Bow in Minecraft. It causes a small push to the targeted enemy with each attack, and Punch enchantment increases the knockback distance by 3 blocks with every level.

Mending

Mending is one of the rarest Bow enchantments that increases your bow's durability by allowing you to repair the reduced durability with experience orbs obtained by killing mobs. This enchantment can make your bow or other tools and weapons almost indestructible!

The maximum number of enchantments a bow can have in Minecraft is five, so use these enchantments to create the best Minecraft bow!
