How to get THE BEST ARMOR in Minecraft – You’ve been doing it WRONG!!!

Chances are you’ve probably been enchanting your armor wrong in minecraft though certain enchantments for armor are pretty straightforward such as mending and un-breaking the various protection enchantments can be a lot more confusing combining protection enchantments in the wrong way can lead to an armor set that is much

Less effective than it could be if done right in this video we will be conducting some experiments to learn more about how protection enchantments work then we will come to a conclusion on which combinations of enchantments make the best set of armor possible in vanilla minecraft and why those enchantments are so

Effective shortly after that i’ll be showing all of you the best way to get these enchantments for yourself in survival minecraft so be sure to watch through the entire video first we’re going to be testing each type of protection to better understand how effective each enchantment is

And which armor pieces they work best on i’ve set up four different areas of damage to test enchantments on melee projectiles lava and explosions let’s start with fire protection we’ll start off by testing how well a normal set of protection 4 armor protects a player from lava

This will be our control group then we’ll try on a full set of fire protection for armor the results are surprising with fire protection you can simply vibe in the lava and be just fine at this point it is very obvious that fire protection is very effective against all types of fire damage

I did some more testing and found that surprisingly if the rest of your armor is just normal protection for it doesn’t seem to matter how many pieces of the set have fire protection weirdly enough having a protection force at with fire prop boots reduces lava damage just as good as

Having a full set of fire protection in other words there is no use for having more than one piece of armor enchanted with fire protection as there is no noticeable improvement by doing so now let’s test the blast protection enchantment we’ll start by hugging live explosives and normal protection for armor

As you can see the blast nearly kills us now for a full set of blast protection 4 armor the effect is only half as bad with the blast prot compared to normal prod again replacing only one of the protection 4 set with blast protection seems to be just as effective as wearing

A full set of blast protection armor if you’re starting to notice a pattern here there is in fact a reason why this happens with the specialty protection enchantments i’ll be discussing why this happens later in the video when we discuss the best combination of enchantments for the

Perfect set of armor but for now on to the next experiment projectile protection is supposedly effective against projectile damage personally i would not recommend this enchantment as a basic shield can block projectiles entirely but we’ll test it anyways it would appear that by adding projectile protection to one piece of a

Protection 4 armor set somewhat reduces the damage taken from an arrow however a shield can completely block arrows if used right and by using a shield you can bypass using projectile protection entirely and instead focus on fire or blast protection not only does normal protection 4 offer

A bit of protection in all areas of damage it also is the most effective in reducing the damage taken by melee attacks to demonstrate this we have a zombie with a sharpness 5 sword while wearing a full set of another type of protection the zombie nearly kills me

However when wearing a full set of protection 4 armor the damage taken is much lower at this point it seems that protection 4 would probably be more effective for use in combat as it is the best at reducing melee damage now it’s time for the big reveal what combination of enchantments makes the

Best armor possible in vanilla minecraft there are two main ways you can enchant your armor the first way is just full protection which is great for all around protection and resistance against damage and then there’s the specialty enchantments which is where you choose one armor piece and enchant it with

Something other than normal protection for for example blast protection or fire protection so first we’re gonna have a look at the best armor for the protection four option here we have netherrite enchanted with protection four and breaking three and mending there are other enchantments for the boots and helmets that you can

Get but those aren’t absolutely necessary for reducing damage now over here we have the specialized armor set there’s another helmet with protection for leggings with protection for and boots with protection for yet the chest plate itself has fire protection for it it slightly reduces the protection for over all the subjects

But it buffs the fire protection and actually maxes that out what you don’t want to do is have two fire protection because then you’re not actually gaining anything but you’re still losing some protection here is another option for the specialty enchantment again protection for boots protection for leggings protection for helmet

But there is in fact another right chest plate enchanted with blast protection this is to protect you like if you’re going to crystal pvp or you’re dealing with tnt or you just don’t want to be blown up by a creeper another youtuber eagle eye621 explains this with a really cool graphic representation

Here we have three columns each one represents one area of damage fire blast and projectile so each column has five blocks each block represents four slots for possible projection buffs so that means protection four would fill out each of these it would fill out one of those because it’s protection four

Protection four adds four protection buffs to each area and by each area i mean all three so you’d have one row that’d be filled in by one protection four specialty protection adds eight buffs but only in one area so that would mean if you had fire protection you would get two here but

You wouldn’t get any there this is showing an unenchanted armor set so here we have unenchanted netherrite gear over here we have the first best option which we went over earlier which is all protection as you can see we have one roll we have one row filled out

We have another row filled out and then two more rows filled out by protection and as you can see it’s all protection there so basically what that does is it gives you pretty good coverage over all of these areas except for the three parts on the top

But if there’s one of those you actually want to fill like let’s say you’re going in the nether and you want to protect yourself from fire or you’re doing crystal pvp and you want to protect yourself from blast protection then you would do this this is the second best option

Instead you just have three protection four armors and you don’t get quite as much coverage with this one but as you can see you do max out fire protection at the expense of those two slots so if you absolutely have to specialize in like fire protection or

Blast protection this is the way to go this right here is what you definitely do not want to do this is what i used to do i used to get one of each type so i’d have projectile protection blast protection and then fire protection thinking that all those together would help me

It doesn’t in fact you get worse coverage because you have only one row of protection and then you have two extra rows filled in by fire pro blast prot and projectile prod so you end up with two rows missing at that point you might as well just get

A single full protection as you can see there and you already get more coverage so if you’re going to make armor don’t do this i used to do this before i made this video in fact but do these you want to make sure you’re using either for protection

Or three protection in one specialty if you want to get this kind of armor you’re going to want to have some sort of experience i’m in my friend’s realm right now a friend of ours he made a big really effective enderman farm it works really well

So i have quite amount quite a decent amount of levels here and you’re also going to want some lapis obviously for enchanting then you can put your helmet in there and look what do you have so these don’t seem very good obviously because they’re just the

Level 7 and 17 but this is unbreaking three which means it has a chance to actually have an to have protection for so i’m gonna get it and see what i get that’s just on breaking three so i’m going to put that in a grindstone get the helmet back and

Then throw it back in there and see what i get unbreaking three again fire protection four if you want fire protection on the helmet that is actually a really good thing so now i can move on to the chest plate and breaking three protection four perfect unbreaking three

Fire protection four i don’t need two fire protection fours so i’m gonna have to get rid of one of these this has respiration on it so i think i’ll keep that so for the leggings i’ll throw them back into here grab them again throw them back into the enchantment table on breaking three

Again nope not very good you just keep doing that and finally we have protection for and this is actually a really good armor set right off the bat and i don’t know how long this took me maybe 10 minutes with the farm there obviously if you don’t have the farm

It’s going to be a little bit more difficult there’s tanajura if you don’t have a farm it’s going to be much more difficult but they’re not too hard to make and that my friends is how you can get the best armor in the game that unfortunately is the end of today’s video
