What Efficiency Does
Efficiency significantly speeds up block breaking for compatible tools: Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, Hoes, and Shears. Each tool works faster only on its intended materials (e.g., an axe is faster on trees, not stone). There are five levels:
- Level I: 25% faster block breaking.
- Level II: 30% faster.
- Level III: 35% faster.
- Level IV: 40% faster.
- Level V: 45% faster (the incremental improvement from Level IV is minimal).

Enchanting Your Tools
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 Shield Stunning
Applying Efficiency to an axe also increases your chance of stunning a shield. Level I provides a 25% chance, increasing by 5% per level.
