Enchant Armor with Protection IV

Enchant Armor with Protection IV

Add maximum Protection to the armor piece you are holding

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Applies Protection IV (maximum level) to any armor piece in your main hand — helmet, chestplate, leggings, or boots. Protection IV reduces all damage by 16%. Run the command separately for each armor piece you want to enchant. Stacking Protection on all four pieces doesn't multiply, so you need only one high-level piece.

/enchant @s protection 4

How to use

  1. Hold the armor piece you want to enchant.
  2. Open chat (T on Java, / on Bedrock) and paste the command.
  3. Press Enter — repeat for each armor piece if desired.
