What Does Efficiency Do?
Efficiency enhances five tool types: Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, Hoes, and Shears. It significantly speeds up block breaking, but only for the materials each tool is designed to mine. For instance, an axe with Efficiency will fell trees faster, but won't affect stone.
Efficiency has 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 benefit from IV to V is minimal). Only pursue max level when resources allow.

Enchanting Your Tools with Efficiency

- 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 Stunning Shields
Beyond faster mining, Efficiency on axes increases the chance of stunning shields. Level I provides a 25% chance, increasing by 5% per level.
