Note: This guide focuses on the Bedrock version of Minecraft, available on Windows 10, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and mobile.

Despite its simplicity, Minecraft can be overwhelming, and it's easy to get stuck in the grind of basic survival. If that's how you want to play it, that's fine! But there's a wild world out there; the Nether, the End, building farms, and redstone contraptions all turn Minecraft into another game entirely. Part of surviving long enough to do all that is having good gear that keeps you safe and makes work go more quickly. To do that, you'll have to get into enchantment. Enchantment can be complicated, but with the right set of enchantments, you can stop worrying about creepers, stop spending time hacking away at blocks, and get focused on building and creating.

We've put together guides on how to enchant, what each enchantment means, and which ones to use. Check them out below.
