Defense is one of the most important indicators in Minecraft. Because this is the only way to reliably protect a character in the game so that he does not die. That is why every player tries to get some equipment that will increase the corresponding scale with defense. However, this task can also be simplified with the help of an enchantment, which is called “Defense”.
All protective enchantments in Minecraft have their own nuances. And the “Protection” enchantment is no exception. Therefore, if you want to correctly cast enchantments, understand the nuances or get “Protection” in the easiest way, then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the material presented below.
Minecraft Enchantment “Protection”: Overview
What does “Protection” do in Minecraft?
The essence of the “Protection” enchantment is quite simple and obvious – these enchantments increase the character’s armor and thus reduce the damage received of any kind. Moreover, this applies to all types of damage, and not selective, as in the case of “Fire Resistance” or “Protection from Projectiles”.
Characteristics
- Maximum level . The “Protection” enchantment is no different in terms of levels from any other protective effects. Therefore, it also has 4 levels of enchantments in its arsenal. However, if the levels are not enough, then they can be increased using mods, which are presented below in the corresponding paragraph.
- What items are enchanted in the game? You can enchant any piece of equipment with the “Protection” enchantment if you wish. Weapons cannot be enchanted. But you can enchant a helmet, boots, leggings, and chestplate from any resource. And the same goes for the turtle shell, which is a helmet.
- What enchantments is it incompatible with? It’s not hard to guess that the “Protection” enchantment conflicts with any other protective effects. So if an item has the “Protection from Projectiles”, “Explosion Resistance” or “Fire Resistance” enchantments, then “Protection” cannot be cast on such an item.
- Chances of getting the enchantment . Surprisingly, unlike other defensive effects, the “Protection” enchantment has a fairly high chance of dropping using the enchantment table. In this case, the probability is 30 units. Although if this is not enough, then with the help of the mods presented below, you can remove this mechanic of chances.
Minecraft Defense Enchantment Mods
- Mod “FlashFyre’s Enchantments” . Thanks to this project, more than 20 new types of enchantments will be added to Minecraft. And they are intended not only for weapons, but also for armor. For example, from now on, weapons can be “attached” with enchantments that will additionally inflict poison damage, and armor can be given vampirism.
- Mod “Enchanting Plus” . After you install this mod, the character will have the ability to choose enchantments. You will no longer have to pay attention to the probability of getting a particular enchantment. It will be enough to use the new convenient table for enchantments, on which you can choose the necessary enchantments. Plus, the price of all these enchantments remains fixed. In general, an excellent mod for those who want to save a lot of experience and time.
- Mod “Custom Enchantments” . This mod also adds new types of enchantments. However, its key feature is that the enchantments are enhanced versions of the standard ones. Therefore, if you do not want to add new enchantments, but want to enhance existing ones, then this mod is absolutely suitable. To implement the plan, you will need to use a new block. And you can look at existing new recipes using a special book. Well, you will still have to use lapis lazuli along with experience for enchantments.
- Mod “Disenchanting Forge” . Suitable for those who found some item and want to transfer enchantments to another. Or, in extreme cases, transfer enchantments from your item. In general, thanks to this mod, all existing enchantments can be transferred to books, while the item itself is not destroyed or broken, so it remains intact. For all these manipulations, the accumulated experience of the character is used.
- Mod “Limitless” . Well, the last project we offer makes it possible to remove the level limitation of enchantments. From now on, enchantments will not have a maximum level. In addition, the cost of repairing such high-level items does not increase and, in addition, these items can be re-imposed with selected enchantments.
How to get enchantment through admin panel
For those users who do not want to waste time on the standard enchantment mechanics or deal with installing mods, there is another way to get the enchantment they need – developer mode. Thanks to it, you can use certain commands, which in turn will allow you to get ready-made items with the “Protection” enchantment applied.
But first of all, you should check whether cheats can be used in the selected world. If this is not possible, then you will have to create a new world where they are allowed. The instruction itself does not change even in this case and looks like this:
- So, you should start by opening the administrator mode. To do this, you need to use the “T” key on the English keyboard layout. After pressing it, a translucent window will open in the corner, where the command line is located at the bottom.
- Alternatively, you can enter the command “/give @p netherite_chestplate{Enchantments:[{id:protection,lvl:4}]}” in the command line. In return, the character will receive a netherite chestplate enchanted to the fourth level of “Protection”.
- Although you can also use the command “/give @p enchanted_book{Enchantments:[{id:protection,lvl:4}]}”, which will give the character a book with similar enchantments of the same level.
- It should be remembered that all commands are written without quotes, and the level with the specified enchantment item can be changed. For the item, you only need to change the ID, and for the level – the numerical value at the end.
Alternatively, you can also use a tool called “Command Block” to activate the specified commands. And in this case, they are activated automatically. Since the commands are written inside, and are used by themselves, as soon as the block receives a signal from the redstone.
Secrets and tips
- If desired, you can cast the “Protection” spell on all types of armor. And as a result, the character will be able to reduce damage from 70 to 80%. As a result, the damage received will practically not reach the character and it will be much easier to fight.
The “Protection” enchantment is an extremely useful effect, but you still can’t do without other enchantments. Since these enchantments reduce overall damage, enchantments that specifically increase/decrease something are still better in certain situations. On the other hand, if you use the suggested mods, then as a result you can significantly enhance this effect. In general, mods simplify many elements of the enchantment mechanics, so any player should like them. Especially if it is difficult to get any specific enchantments based on the drop rates.
