All Possible Enchants For Pickaxes

Here we provide a list of all the possible pickaxe enchants, what they do, and what they're exclusive with

Level I - V

Efficiency


Efficiency increases the mining speed of tools. Higher levels allow blocks to be broken much faster.

Level I - III

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

Level I - III

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

Level I

Mending


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

Level I

Curse of Vanishing


Curse of Vanishing causes an item to disappear when the player dies. This prevents it from being recovered after death.
