What Efficiency Does

Efficiency significantly speeds up block breaking for compatible tools: Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, Hoes, and Shears. Each tool works faster only on its intended materials (e.g., an axe is faster on trees, not stone). There are five levels:

• Level I: 25% faster block breaking.
• Level II: 30% faster.
• Level III: 35% faster.
• Level IV: 40% faster.
• Level V: 45% faster (the incremental improvement from Level IV is minimal).

Enchanting Your Tools

You'll need an Enchantment Table. To craft one, gather:

• 2 Diamonds
• 4 Obsidian
• 1 Book

Obtaining Efficiency V

The Enchantment Table can't directly create Efficiency V on stone or diamond tools. Combine two identical tools with Efficiency IV on an Anvil to achieve Efficiency V. Alternatively, experienced players might find Efficiency V diamond tools in End cities.

Efficiency and Shield Stunning

Applying Efficiency to an axe also increases your chance of stunning a shield. Level I provides a 25% chance, increasing by 5% per level.
