Minecraft Projectile Protection enchantment

- Max level
- IV
- Rarity
- Uncommon (weight 5)
- Anvil, from item
- ×2 per level
- Anvil, from book
- ×1 per level
Which items take Projectile Protection
Helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots, and books.
None beyond the table items.
The table offers an enchantment only on its primary items; an anvil can add it to anything that can hold it. See every enchantment an item can hold in the max enchantments by item tool.
Conflicts
Projectile Protection can’t share an item with Protection, Fire Protection and Blast Protection. An anvil refuses the combination, and the table never offers them together.
Enchanting table odds
Chance that one offer in the bottom slot (level 30, 15 bookshelves) includes Projectile Protection, on a diamond chestplate and on a book.
| Level | Diamond chestplate | Book |
|---|---|---|
| Projectile Protection I | — | — |
| Projectile Protection II | — | — |
| Projectile Protection III | — | — |
| Projectile Protection IV | <0.1% | 0.1% |
| Any level | <0.1% | 0.1% |

Power window per level
A table roll picks the highest level whose window contains the roll’s modified enchantment level. These are the registry’s min_cost and max_cost, not the level cost shown on the table.
| Level | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Projectile Protection I | 3 | 9 |
| Projectile Protection II | 9 | 15 |
| Projectile Protection III | 15 | 21 |
| Projectile Protection IV | 21 | 27 |
Anvil cost
An anvil charges ×2 per level when Projectile Protection comes from another item and ×1 per level when it comes from a book, so adding Projectile Protection IV from a book costs 4 levels before any prior-work penalty. Work out a full combine in the anvil cost calculator.
Command
Hold the item in your main hand and run this with cheats on. /enchant refuses an item that can’t hold Projectile Protection and any level above IV.
