Maximize Your Minecraft Mining: A Guide to Efficiency Enchantment
Minecraft's vast world offers endless creative possibilities, but mining remains a core gameplay element. While rewarding, repetitive mining can become tedious. The solution?

What Efficiency Does
Efficiency is an enchantment applicable to five tool types: pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and shears. It significantly accelerates the speed at which these tools break blocks of their corresponding material type (e.g., an axe is faster at chopping wood, not stone). Efficiency has five levels:
- Level I: 25% increased mining speed.
- Level II: 30% increased mining speed.
- Level III: 35% increased mining speed.
- Level IV: 40% increased mining speed.
- Level V: 45% increased mining speed (the marginal gain from IV to V is minimal).

Enchanting Your Tools with Efficiency
To apply the Efficiency enchantment, you'll need an enchantment table. Crafting one requires:
- 2 Diamonds
- 4 Obsidian
- 1 Book

Obtaining Efficiency V
The enchantment table can't directly create Efficiency V on stone or diamond tools. To achieve this maximum level, combine two identical tools with Efficiency IV on an anvil. Alternatively, experienced players might find Efficiency V diamond tools in End cities.

Efficiency and Shield Stunning
Beyond faster mining, Efficiency on axes increases the chance of stunning a shield. Level I provides a 25% chance, increasing by 5% with each subsequent level.
