What Efficiency Does
Efficiency boosts the mining speed of five tool types: pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and shears. The enchantment only affects the materials each tool is designed to mine (e.g., an axe is more efficient on trees, not stone). Five levels exist:
- Level I: 25% speed increase.
- Level II: 30% speed increase.
- Level III: 35% speed increase.
- Level IV: 40% speed increase.
- Level V: 45% speed increase (minimal improvement over Level IV). Only pursue Level V if resources allow.

Enchanting Tools with Efficiency
You'll need an enchantment table. To craft one, gather:
- 2 Diamonds
- 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 offers a 25% chance, increasing by 5% per level.
