What Does Efficiency Do in Minecraft?

Efficiency can be applied to five types of tools: Shears, Pickaxe, Shovel, Axe, and Hoe. This enchantment allows these tools to mine blocks faster than usual, but only for the materials they are designed for. For instance, an Axe will chop trees more efficiently but won't be effective on stone.

Efficiency comes in five levels:

• Level I: Increases block-breaking speed by 25%.
• Level II: Speed increases to 30%, though mining still requires effort.
• Level III: Mining speed significantly improves, reaching 35%.
• Level IV: It only takes a few strikes to break a block, with a 40% speed increase.
• Level V: A fully upgraded item receives a 45% bonus; however, the 5% difference from the previous level may be barely noticeable. Therefore, only enchant items to the maximum level if you can afford it.

How to Enchant Your Tools with Efficiency in Minecraft?

To obtain the Efficiency enchantment, you'll need an enchantment table. This special block allows you to add new properties to your tools, including Efficiency. If you don't have one, you'll need the following ingredients to craft it:

How to Obtain Tools with Efficiency V?

The enchantment table does not allow Stone and Diamond tools to be upgraded to the maximum level. To achieve Efficiency V, you must combine two identical items with the previous level of enchantment on an Anvil.

Additionally, experienced players can find Diamond tools with Efficiency V in cities within The End dimension.

Efficiency and the Chance of Stunning Shields in Minecraft

Efficiency not only enhances block-breaking speed but also increases the chance of stunning a shield when applied to an Axe. Level I grants a 25% chance to stun a shield, with each subsequent level increasing the probability by 5%.
