We have already talked about how to make paper, first, and books, later, to be able to get to the enchantment table of Minecraft. Now, how about we study how to enchant the ax? Is he strongest weapon of the game and, of course, also the optimal tool for to cut wood.
As it is not the same to use the ax to cut down trees than to destroy your enemies, in this guide we will see which are the best enchantments. according to the use you want to give it. Because why use a fast cutting ax to kill a spider, or a very powerful to destroy a looter tower that is made of wood.
How to enchant Minecraft ax
As we already have a guide dedicated exclusively to enchanting, we encourage you to go to it to understand all the nuances of the art of enchanting objects. However, we are going to list — roughly — the essential steps:
- Factory an enchantment table with four obsidian blocks, two diamonds, and a book. You will need to use lapis lazuli to fuel the process
- The level of enchantments It will depend on the number of shelves that surround the table, with 15 to reach level 30
- Use the anvil to apply according to what enchantments, apart from applying those that are imbued in the books that you find in temples, dungeons and ruins
Remember that the enchantments available on the table are displayed randomly. If you don’t like any of the three, you can “discard” the worst level by applying it to a book or on an object that you don’t use. Will cost a unit lapis lazuli and an experience point, but at least you can refresh the list of enchantments. The good thing about imbueing the book is that you can take advantage of it at another time.
How to put two enchantments on an ax
Yes, the same ax can be infused with two enchantments, but the method is not carried out at the table, but with the anvil! You have two ways to combine effects:
- Council two enchanted axes of the same material
- Gather an enchanted ax with an enchanted book (as in the screenshot you have here above)
Keep in mind that not all enchantments go well together. The game will prevent you from combining Silk touch with Fortuna, for example, or as it happens between combat enchantments.
What are the best enchantments for the Minecraft ax?
Remember that it depends a lot on the type of use you are going to give it! How Unbreakability is an attribute apt to the two usesInstead of separating the enchantments into two categories, we have grouped them all together. You’ll see:
- Efficiency: Increase the speed of your ax, but when it comes to felling wood, wow. If you need to clear a forest fast, this is the enchantment you will need to take advantage of
- Silk touch: as you know, the touch of silk is used to obtain the blocks u intact objects, instead of the material. Thus, if you use the ax with a campfire, you will take it as is, instead of two pieces of coal
- Unbreakability: This enchantment increases the resistance of the general ax, whether you use it to attack creatures or to cut down. With Unbreakable you increase this duration of use by up to 300%
- Repair: this one is used to restore durability to your ax using experience points
- Edge: This is the enchantment used to deal more damage to any type of creature, regardless of whether they are undead, aquatic, humanoid, etc.
- Hit: is the version of Filo focused on undead creatures (skeletons, zombies, etc.), and if we take into account the number of these creatures that we find in caves or the Nether, it makes all the sense in the world to dedicate an ax exclusively to that mission
Is there a bad spell for the ax?
Actually yes. There are three that we do not recommend at all. Avoid applying these, which for the utility of the axes do not make much sense and will be a waste of lapis lazuli, experience and enchantments!
- Curse of Disappearance: if you die carrying an ax with this enchantment, you will run out of it, so better avoid it
- Bane of arthropods: Increase the damage of your ax with spiders, bees, etc., but since it is a very specific type of creature, it may not rent you!
- Fortune: This enchantment is used to extract precious metals, so it will be of little use when cutting down trees …
