Best Minecraft Armor Enchantments
Armor is the primary thing when it comes to the health of the player in the long run in the game. In our Best Minecraft Enchantments Guide, we’re featuring the best armor enchantments that help you to get the most out of it and save your health efficiently.
Note: This Best Armor Minecraft Enchantment guide only contains the generic enchantment. I personally do no prefer the Fire Protection, Blast protection, or any other enchantment as they won’t give many benefits, I personally find Unbreaking, Respiration, Aqua Affinity, and Depth Strider much more useful. These are optional if you want to use then it would be your choice.
