Enchanting items

Add special properties to your weapons and armor.


The enchant command allows you to add special properties to the weapon or armor you have active in your hands. You can add damage, knockback, infinite ammo or other properties. When chaining commands, it is best to activate this command right after a weapon is given. Enchanting armor can be done, but you have to be holding it, then you can put it on manually. Each enchantment can only be used on certain types of items and each has a maximum level of power. Multiple enchantments can be given to the same item, but some do not work together.

Syntax: /enchant [target] [enchantmentName] [level]

Here are some examples:

/enchant @s fire_aspect 2

/enchant @a[r=10] unbreaking 3


A cow is on fire after being hit by a sword enchanted with fire aspect.
Hamburger, anyone? Fire aspect can add fire damage to a sword.
