What Efficiency Does
Efficiency enhances five tool types: Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, Hoes, and Shears. It dramatically accelerates block breaking speed, but only for the materials each tool is designed to mine (e.g., an axe is more effective 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 (the marginal gain over Level IV is minimal)

Enchanting Your Tools

- 2 Diamonds
- 4 Obsidian
- 1 Book

Obtaining Efficiency V
The Enchantment Table cannot directly create Efficiency V on stone or diamond tools. Combine two identical tools with Efficiency IV on an Anvil to achieve this. Alternatively, experienced players might discover Efficiency V diamond tools within End city structures.

Efficiency and Stunning Shields
Beyond faster mining, Efficiency on Axes increases the chance of stunning shields. Level I provides a 25% chance, increasing by 5% per level.
