As soon as players enter a new Minecraft world, they quickly craft useful tools, weapons, and armor parts to protect themselves and progress forward. After a while, however, these gears will need to be upgraded, not only in terms of materials but in terms of some special powers as well. This is where enchantments come into play.
Enchantments are special powerups that can be applied to tools, weapons, and armor parts to add special features. They can be obtained from librarian villagers or through enchanting tables. Some of these enchantments can feel quite overpowered if their highest levels are applied to gear.

10 brilliant enchantments that are overpowered in Minecraft
1) Mending
Trending
The mending enchantment is one of the most craved and overpowered enchantments in the game. It is a rare treasure enchantment that can only be obtained from a swamp librarian villager who is at master level. It can allow a gear to repair itself using XP orbs that you pick up. Hence, the mending enchantment essentially makes a gear indestructible in the game.
2) Infinity
When you use bows and arrows to shoot enemies from afar, you will frequently run out of arrows. To avoid making more arrows over and over again, you can use the infinity enchantment on your bows.
It essentially allows you to shoot infinite arrows as long as there is one arrow in their inventory. This is an extremely overpowered enchantment since you can keep shooting enemies without any hesitation.
3) Efficiency
Efficiency is another brilliant enchantment that you can apply to your tools, as it increases the mining speed by decreasing the duration it takes to mine one block. At their highest level, the tools will somewhat become overpowered as they can plow through hundreds of blocks within minutes.
4) Soul Speed
Traveling in the game takes quite a lot of time due to its near-endless map. Since you only obtain elytra at the end of the game, you must try to search for the soul speed enchanted book through piglin trading or by looting nether structures. This will allow you to zoom through an area if you are walking on soul sand. You can create long highways of soul sand to travel extremely quickly.
5) Loyalty
When you first obtain a trident, you can throw it as a ranged weapon but have to manually search for and retrieve it from wherever it lands. In many cases, the rare weapon can get lost as well. This is where loyalty can greatly help you. This enchantment allows a trident to fly back to the thrower automatically.
6) Power
A bow and arrow is one of the best weapons in the game since you can easily shoot enemies from afar without taking any damage. However, there is no particular way to upgrade them with better material.
Hence, the best way to make them more powerful is to apply the power enchantment to the bow. The highest level of power enchantment can make the ranged weapon quite overpowered.
7) Respiration
When you dive deep underwater, you will notice that you have a limited amount of breath, after which you start drowning. This can hamper underwater exploration, as you obviously need to come up to the surface occasionally to breathe. In this situation, you can apply the respiration enchantment to stay underwater for several minutes by inceasing the duration for which you can hold your breath.
8) Sharpness
Swords are arguably the most common weapon that you use in the game. Although you can upgrade them by crafting better ones with new materials, one of the best enchantments that can be applied to swords is sharpness. It simply increases the attack damage of the weapon and makes it quite overpowered at its highest level.
9) Fortune
The Fortune enchantment is another great enchantment that increases the item drop whenever a block is mined with any tool. Furthermore, it increases the chances of valuable item drops from blocks as well.
For example, with the highest level of fortune enchantment, you can obtain multiple diamonds from a single diamond ore.
10) Sweeping Edge (Java Edition only)
This Java Edition exclusive enchantment can be applied to swords so that when you attack enemies in a rhythm, it activates the sweeping attack mode and damages multiple mobs at once rather than hitting just one. This enchantment simply increases the attack damage of that sweeping attack mode, dealing more damage to entities.
