In Minecraft, many players are unaware of how protection enchantments actually work. It is quite common to see players wearing a full set of blast protection armor in order to survive TNT explosions, but this is actually pointless. Except for the general ‘Protection’ enchantment, all other protection enchantments have a cap, which means that having multiple pieces of specialty protection armor is not as effective as it seems.
For example, having fire protection along with full protection IV and some good food makes you practically invincible in lava. Therefore, there is no need to stack up on fire protection armor.
Similarly, projectile protection enchantment may seem useful in multiplayer modes where players often encounter ranged attacks. However, in single-player mode, the instances where this enchantment becomes necessary are quite rare. Thus, using blast protection becomes the most practical choice.
By utilizing blast protection on one piece of armor, you can achieve maximum protection against creepers and explosions caused by TNT, while only sacrificing a minimal amount of damage. So, remember to prioritize blast protection enchantment to optimize your defense strategy in Minecraft.
