Minecraft Dungeons is a new dungeon crawler that takes place in the Minecraft universe. Players fight their way through dungeons slaying enemies to collect loot and level up their characters. There are three item slots for your character to equip a melee weapon, a ranged weapon, and armor.
Builds in this game are centered around Enchantments, which can go on any item you can equip. Enchantments add modifiers to your items to make them stronger and grant you new abilities. When players level up, they acquire Enchantment Points that can be spent on leveling up item Enchantments up to a maximum of three tiers.
| Tier 1 Cost | Tier 2 Cost | Tier 3 Cost | |
| Common | 1 Point | 2 Points | 3 Points |
| Powerful | 2 Points | 3 Points | 4 Points |
You want to pick Enchantments that complement each other and synergize well together. Unique items inherently gain an extra Enchantment, so they are typically better in general. Here is the full list of Minecraft Dungeons Enchantments so you can get an idea of the different ones out there.

What are the Best Enchantments?
Picking the best Enchantments in Minecraft Dungeons depends on your build. Here are some good Enchantments broke down by build types.
Best Enchantments for Melee Weapons
For melee weapons, you want to run Radiance and Critical Strike. These two are usually mandatory, and the third can be something like Sharpness if you need damage, Swirling if you have a super-fast attack weapon, or Committed for the flat 2x damage boost.
Best Enchantments for Bows in Minecraft Dungeons
When it comes to bows, this depends on how you want to play. I personally use bows to add movement speed so I always get Tempo Theft and Gravity to make more density for melee.
If you want to go for straight damage, something like Rapid Fire, Accelerate, and Piercing are good choices. You can also mix in Infinity if you find yourself running out of arrows often.
Best Enchantments for Armor in Minecraft Dungeons
Armor Enchantments are very important, and some are far better than others. Surprise Gift is becoming a must have, because of the chance to spawn Strength potions which significantly boosts damage. Cool Down is another popular one, allowing players to reduce all Artifact cooldowns by 27% at tier 3. Lastly, Potion Barrier is great because it grants you a 90% damage reduction whenever you use a potion.
If you’re going for speed builds, something like Speed Synergy and Swiftfooted are must-have Enchantments. Thorns, Deflect, and Cowardice are ones to consider as well, depending on the build.
Potion Barrier
Potion Barrier is one of the most overpowered Enchantments in its current state. Using healing potions reduces the damage you take by 90% for a few seconds. This means you’re basically invulnerable for a short time after you heal. It’s incredibly good at high levels and you should try and pick it up on your armor if possible.
Infinity Enchantment
The Infinity enchantment has a 16% chance to trigger additional arrows, which comes in handy during dungeons. You can level it up to level 3 for a 48% chance to trigger. At this level, you will save almost half your arrows which is great for bow builds.
Piercing Enchantment
The Piercing Enchantment is another good one for bows because it allows you to hit more than one target without much damage fall off. This can cause other Enchantments or weapon affixes to proc as well.
Rapid Fire Enchantment
Flat out attack speed increases are great enchantments for bow builds. Having the extra attack speed, unlimited ammo, and piercing makes for some serious damage output.
Swiftfooted Enchantment
A great defensive Enchantment is Swiftfooted, which causes you to move faster for three seconds after performing a roll. It adds some much needed mobility, which could end up saving your life more than once.
