The verified Minecraft account posted a full enchantment ranking on X and the replies instantly filled with arguments over what belongs in S tier versus everything else.
Mojang decided to wade into one of Minecraft’s longest running debates this afternoon by posting a complete enchantment tier list on X. The image uses the classic S A B C grading system that speedrunners and survival veterans have argued over for years. Within hours the replies became exactly what you would expect: passionate defenses of underrated enchantments savage roasts of the official choices and dozens of fan made alternatives.
The post comes at a moment when Bedrock and Java players are deep into testing features for the upcoming third drop of 2026. Many replies linked the tier list to how these enchantments will perform with the new blocks and structures now appearing in previews. That context turned a simple graphic into a broader conversation about optimization in the current meta.

By ranking them publicly Mojang reminded everyone how personal these choices remain even after all these years.
