'''Efficiency''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to tools that increases [[Minecraft:mining efficiency]].

== Obtaining ==
[[Minecraft:Tool]]s of any material except stone or diamond can receive up to Efficiency V through the [[Minecraft:enchanting table]]<ref>{{bug|MC-275443|resolution=WAI}}</ref>. Stone and diamond tools can only receive up to level IV through the enchanting table, but can be given Efficiency V by combining 2 items with Efficiency IV in an [[Minecraft:anvil]]. Diamond tools with Efficiency V can also be found in [[Minecraft:end city]], [[Minecraft:ancient city]], and [[Minecraft:bastion remnant]] chests.

[[Minecraft:Enchanted books]] enchanted with a random level of Efficiency can be found in loot chests in the following structures: [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s, [[Minecraft:stronghold]]s, [[Minecraft:ocean ruins]], [[Minecraft:ancient city|ancient cities]], [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]]s, [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s, [[Minecraft:mineshaft]]s, [[Minecraft:monster room]]s, [[Minecraft:jungle pyramid]]s, and from vaults in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].

[[Minecraft:Enchanted books]] and [[Minecraft:tool]]s with a random Efficiency level can be obtained through [[Minecraft:trading]] with [[Minecraft:villager]]s.

== Usage ==
{{main|Breaking#Mining efficiency}}
Efficiency adds 2 mining efficiency for the first level, 5 for the second level, 10 for the third level, 17 for the fourth level, and 26 for the fifth level. The proper tool for a block must be used in order to receive the speed benefit, as the enchantment has no effect if the block is mined with the incorrect tool.

== Mining efficiency ==
Each level above zero gives (Level^2)+1 Mining Efficiency, added on to the Base Mining Efficiency.

These tables detail how much mining efficiency is gained based on the level of enchantment used.‌
