Sharpness


Sharpness increases the overall melee damage of a sword. It is the most versatile damage enchantment for combat. Mutually exclusive with Bane of Arthropods and Smite

Fortune


Fortune increases the number of resources dropped from certain blocks like diamonds and coal. It is one of the best enchantments for resource gathering. Mutually exclusive with silk touch

Unbreaking


Unbreaking gives your armour a chance not to lose durability when it takes damage. This significantly increases the lifespan of enchanted gear.

Level I - III

Silk Touch


Silk Touch allows blocks to drop themselves instead of their usual resources. This is useful for collecting fragile or special blocks. Mutually exclusive with Fortune

Mending


Mending repairs your armour using the experience you collect. Instead of gaining XP, it is used to restore item durability.
