What Does Efficiency Do?
Efficiency significantly boosts your mining speed. Applicable to pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and shears, it increases the rate at which you break blocks of the corresponding material type (e.g., an axe for wood, a pickaxe for 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 (minimal improvement over Level IV)

Enchanting Your Tools with Efficiency
To enchant tools, you'll need an enchantment table. Crafting requires:
- 2 Diamonds
- 4 Obsidian
- 1 Book

Obtaining Efficiency V
The enchantment table won't directly provide Efficiency V on stone or diamond tools. Combine two identical tools with Efficiency IV on an anvil to achieve this. Alternatively, explore End cities for a chance to find pre-enchanted Efficiency V diamond tools.
