1.17 Netherite Pickaxe Enchantment Guide (Best Enchantments)

Hello everybody and welcome to the channel in this video we will be going over all of the pickaxe enchantments in minecraft 1.17 and which ones are the best to use last year we did the 1.16 pickaxe enchantment guide and there are actually some changes in this 1.17

Update to pickaxes that we are going to look at in today’s video before we get into the video quickly i would like to ask you guys to wash your hands to keep everybody safe as well as hit that subscribe button if this video helps you out

Also if you want to follow me on my social medias like twitter and tick tock the links to those are in the description below alright let’s get into it alright so let’s take a look at all the pickaxe enchantments to begin with there are six right here the

Top four are the ones we will be using in today’s video and the bottom two are the ones we won’t be so let’s get right into it the first enchantment we will be placing on no surprise here efficiency five one of the best enchantments in the game so

Efficiency is really simple it just increases a player’s mining speed basically all that that means is that you mine blocks faster which helps you out when mining or just in general in minecraft on the screen we can see the speed of a normal netherway pickaxe versus the speed of a efficiency 5

Netherray pickaxe with these three different blocks all right hopefully that explains how crucial efficiency is to mining and the next enchantment we’re going to be talking about actually could be argued as more uh crucial to mining uh yeah and we’re gonna be talking about it right now and that is fortune three

So yeah fortune three now more than ever in 1.17 is so important on your pickaxe that’s because now all ores are fortunate in minecraft 1.17 that includes the iron ore the copper war and the gold ore which all previously were not fortunate in my opinion this gives

Fortune the extreme upper hand when it comes to mining enchantments and just your overall pickaxe so fortune increases the amount or chance of a specific item drop for example you can see when we are mining with the normal netherride pickaxe we are only getting one of each item and

When we mine with the fortune 3 netherray pickaxe we’re getting multiple of that item so as you can see with the normal netherride pickaxe we’re only getting one of each item and with the fortune 3 netherright pickaxe we’re getting multiple of each four this chance is based on a percent and as

You can see with the diamonds we didn’t get any extra let’s move on to the next two enchantments and we’re gonna do these two together and this is obviously mending and unbreaking like we do on every tool we’re basically gonna put these two on everything they’re gonna be a pair

So yeah uh we’re gonna explain briefly both of these but we’re not gonna show any tutorials because they’re more of durability enchantments while the others were really focusing on mining and the pickaxe so mending and unbreaking are pretty similar in the way that they both increase their ability but the way they

Do that actually is different so let me explain that a little bit basically what mending does is takes your xp gained and throws that into your durability so say for example like i mined a emerald ore with my pickaxe and i had mending on it

It would take the xp that i gained from mining that emerald ore and put it into my pickaxe’s durability um braking is a little different in the way that if you mine a stone block say with a pickaxe with them braking on it the pickaxe actually has the chance to not lose durability

When actually mining that block all right so the next thing to do now is actually put those enchantments on our pickaxe so instead of putting our pickaxe in here and throwing the books in like this we’re actually going to combine the books first because it actually makes it a little bit cheaper so

We’re going to go ahead and combine the mending and unbreaking book right there and then we’re going to throw fortune 3 onto that and then we’re going to throw efficiency 5 onto that and it’s going to cost a little bit of levels and then now that we have that

Full book we’re going to take our another pickaxe and then throw our enchanted book on that and as you can see it costs 23 levels all right so i just have to stop at the mob farm really quickly and grind up 23 levels and as you can see we

Do have that so boom we do have our netherride pickaxe now with mending i’m breaking three fortune three and efficiency five so there are still two enchantments that we haven’t talked about yet and these are the ones that we won’t be using in today’s video and the first one is silk touch

That being because you cannot use subtouch and fortune on the same pickaxe i do maybe recommend having a silk touch pickaxe separately uh maybe later on after you get this one because silk touch is a pretty uh i guess useful enchant sometimes but uh now that all the ores are

Fortunate i think fortune is definitely the clear-cut winner when it comes to having the best pickaxe and lastly we have the curse of vanishing enchant because who wants that on their pickaxe i hope this guide really helped you out i know the pickaxes did kind of change a

Little in 1.17 with fortune and all that so hopefully this video kind of explained that pretty well uh thank you guys so much for watching as always please leave a like comment and subscribe if you’re new to the channel really really helps me out and yeah i’ll

See you guys in the next one You
