Enchants are things in Minecraft that can enhance and amplify your armor’s usefulness. For example, Protection IV shields you from attacks efficiently.

Enchants can also be used on your swords, tools (axes, pickaxes, hoes, shovels), bows, tridents, etc.

Sometimes, you can’t enchant an item directly via the Enchanting Table so you have to use an anvil and an enchanted book.
