Yes. You can use an anvil with an enchanted book, or use the /enchant command in Creative mode.

What's the best enchantment combo for a netherite axe?

Sharpness V, Unbreaking III, and Mending. This gives you max damage, durability, and infinite repairs with XP.

Yes. The enchanting table often adds extra enchantments beyond the one you pick. You can also combine enchanted books on an anvil.

How much experience do I need to enchant a netherite axe?

It depends on which enchantment you pick. The table shows the requirement for each option. Low-level enchantments need 1-10 levels, high-level ones need 20-30.

Is a netherite axe better than a sword?

Netherite axes deal more damage (10 vs 8) but attack slower. Both are endgame weapons. Axes are better for single strong hits, swords are better for rapid damage.

How to Enchant a Netherite Axe in Minecraft

Netherite axes are the best axes in Minecraft, and they get even better with enchantments. This guide shows you exactly how to enchant one using an enchanting table.

You can also enchant axes using an anvil or with commands, but the enchanting table is the most common way to do it.

What You Need

1 Netherite Axe
3 Lapis Lazuli
An Enchanting Table

In Creative mode, you don’t need the lapis lazuli.

Step 1: Open the Enchanting Table

Right-click on your enchanting table to open the enchant menu. You’ll see two slots: one for your tool and one for lapis lazuli.

Step 2: Place Your Axe and Lapis

Put the netherite axe in the first slot. Put 3 lapis lazuli in the second slot. The enchanting table will show you up to 3 random enchantment options.

Each option shows a level requirement on the right. That’s how many experience levels you need to unlock it (not the actual cost to apply it). Higher requirements usually mean better enchantments.

Hover over an option to see the enchantment name and what it actually costs in lapis and experience levels.

Step 3: Pick Your Enchantment

Click the enchantment you want. Your lapis and experience will be used up, and the axe will glow purple. You’ve got your enchanted netherite axe now.

Here’s a cool thing: the table often adds extra enchantments on top of the one you picked. You might end up with 2, 3, or even 4 enchantments on the same axe.

Best Enchantments for Netherite Axes

Here are all the enchantments that work on netherite axes:

Enchantment	What It Does
Sharpness	More attack damage against mobs. One of the best combat enchantments.
Efficiency	Mine blocks faster. Great if you use your axe for chopping wood or other blocks.
Unbreaking	Your axe lasts way longer. Reduces durability loss when you use it.
Mending	Uses experience orbs to repair the axe automatically. Keeps your best axe alive forever.
Fortune	Get more drops from blocks. Works great if you’re chopping wood or mining ore.
Silk Touch	Mine blocks as full blocks instead of drops. Good for getting leaves or ice intact.
Smite	Extra damage against undead mobs like zombies and skeletons.
Bane of Arthropods	Extra damage against spiders and cave spiders. Less useful than Smite.
Curse of Vanishing	The axe disappears when you die. Most people don’t want this.

Pro tip: Sharpness, Unbreaking, and Mending are the holy trinity for any weapon. Get those on your main axe if you can.
