Minecraft: All Enchantments List

Enchanting Tables open up a whole new world when it comes to improving your gear in Minecraft, so here’s a list of all enchantments currently in the game alongside their effects. It doesn’t matter where an enchantment comes from, be it an enchanting table or from an enchanted book you bought off of a villager, the effects will still be the same so have no worries there.
