Let's Get Enchanting


I need to upgrade my crappy regular iron armor in Minecraft and the best way to do it is by enchanting. Enchanting is one of the most complicated mechanics in Minecraft and I'm still wrapping my head around it. Btw, this isn't my setup in the picture above. Image credit goes to Ratliff. But he messed up and put the enchanting table too close to the bookshelves. Even I know that.

These are the different Armor enchants you can perform:

  • Protection
  • Fire Protection
  • Feather Falling
  • Blast Protection
  • Projectile Protection
  • Respiration
  • Aqua Affinity
  • Thorns
  • Depth Strider
  • Frost Walker
  • Curse of Binding
I might start with basic Protection because it absorbs all damage. At the highest level, IV, it absorbs 16% of damage. It doesn't sound like much, but it adds up, especially in a gnarly fight!

The other enchant I might use first is Respiration, which adds to your underwater breathing time. I already have a Turtle Shell helmet that I assembled when I built my own turtle farm. I think Respiration will stack with that, and at the maximum level, you get 45 extra seconds of underwater breathing time. That stacks with the Turtle Shell, which gives you 10 seconds, so 55 extra seconds or 70 seconds in total. That's a lot of time underwater!

Mostly Fishing in Minecraft - A Journal

I started a new Minecraft survival game with the intention of advancing through the game mostly by fishing. Why fishing ? Isn’t it really boring? Yes, it is a little boring, but it is also peaceful and zen-like. And it’s a really good way to level up your XP and to get some excellent enchanted items. Fishing is easy to do. The first thing you need is a fishing rod, which you can craft with 3 sticks and 2 pieces of string on a crafting table. Once you have your first fishing rod, you can start fishing in any nearby body of water, even if it’s just a 1x1 square! Here’s my journal of my epic Minecraft fishing adventure. Starting Out I decided that if I was going to be a fisherman it would be best to go all the way. So I got myself a Fisherman skin on NameMC . I want to look the part! Day 1 I spawned in a good place to be a fisherman! I was right next to the ocean and there are plenty of oak and acacia trees nearby for wood. I started to collect the basics, including enough wood to make a ...

Minecraft Dungeons is Coming

Image
In just a little over a month, Minecraft Dungeons will be out! I'm super-excited to see it released. Read about Minecraft Dungeons release Pre-order Minecraft Dungeons The game borrows a lot from classic Minecraft, but it's an action dungeon crawler and epic adventure. Expect it to be much faster-paced than vanilla Minecraft, which defined the sandbox/creative era of gaming. Will Minecraft Dungeons resonate with long-time Minecraft fans? It will with me! But it might be too "different" or "limited" for some people's tastes. But that's ok, because the original Minecraft isn't going anywhere. Mark your calendars for May 26!
