How to get the Breach Enchantment in Minecraft
You can find the Breach enchantment in an enchanted book or through an enchanting table. However, since it’s a mace-exclusive enchantment, you’ll have to use your mace in your enchanting table for a chance to find it. You can also randomly find it in enchanting books within underground structures or villager trading, but the odds are low compared to more common enchantments like unbreaking, protection, and sharpness.
Just be careful, as you’re not guaranteed to find it right away while enchanting, especially if you have a low-level enchanting table. You’re much more likely to find it with level 30 enchantments, but you can encounter level one and two versions of Breach at lower levels.
How the Breach Enchantment works in Minecraft
Breach is a mace enchantment that reduces armor’s effectiveness, making enemies and other players less tanky. There are four enchantment levels, with the lowest decreasing armor effectiveness by 15 percent and the highest, level four, reducing it by 60 percent. While its power isn’t too noticeable with regular leather armor, having diamond or netherite armor with protection IV is where its strength truly shines.
This effect also impacts natural armor that creatures like zombies, shulkers, and even the Wither boss have. If you’re fighting against any of these enemies, you’ll have a much easier time fighting them than with a regular sword, even if it has sharpness or other damage enchantments. However, it won’t make much difference against enemies like spiders or creepers with no armor buffs.
