Obtaining[]
Tools of any material except stone or diamond can receive up to Efficiency V through the enchanting table. Stone and diamond tools can only receive up to level IV through the enchanting table, but can be given Efficiency V by combining 2 items with Efficiency IV in an anvil. Diamond tools with Efficiency V can also be found in end city and bastion remnant chests.
Usage[]
Main article: Breaking§Speed
The proper tool for a block must be used in order to receive the speed benefit; the enchantment has no effect if the block is mined with the incorrect tool. See the article above for details on mining speed.
Efficiency applied to an axe increases the chance that the axe may stun a shield, with the base chance being 25% and a 5% increase for each level of Efficiency.[Java Edition only] This only applies when the player is not sprinting, since sprint attacks already guarantee a shield stun.
| Level | Percentage increase |
|---|---|
| I | +25% |
| II | +30% |
| III | +35% |
| IV | +40% |
| V | +45% |

History[]
| Java Edition | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 | Added Efficiency. | |||
| 1.4.5 | pre | Efficiency is now useless when using tools on the wrong block types as they now break the block at the same rate as the player's bare fists.[1][is this the correct version?] | |||
| 1.4.6 | 12w50a | Efficiency has been nerfed slightly, so that enchanted tools that do not match the block the player is breaking no longer work as quickly as before (e.g., Efficiency V pickaxes no longer instantly break dirt or logs). | |||
| 1.16 | 20w10a | Hoes can now be enchanted with Efficiency. | |||
| Pocket Edition Alpha | |||||
| v0.12.1 | build 1 | Added Efficiency. | |||
