'''Protection''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:armor]] that adds bonus damage reduction.<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
Protection can be obtained from [[Minecraft:enchanting table]]s, drops from mobs that have spawned in a [[Minecraft:raid]],{{only|bedrock}} books obtained by [[Minecraft:fishing]], [[Minecraft:monster room]] chests, librarian [[Minecraft:villager]]s, on [[Minecraft:armor]] dropped by various [[Minecraft:mob]]s, and non-village [[Minecraft:structure]] loot.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Protection reduces the damage taken from all sources except for damage caused by [[Minecraft:hunger]], a [[Minecraft:warden]]'s sonic boom attack, the [[Minecraft:void]] or the {{cmd|kill}} command. This enchantment is capable of reducing damage from sources that normally ignore the user's [[Minecraft:armor]] value, such as falling or magical damage from [[Minecraft:status effect]]s. <br />
<br />
The formula for damage reduction is {{cd|''level'' × 4%}}, up to a maximum 16% reduction on a single item with Protection IV. If all items are enchanted with Protection IV this gives 64% general damage reduction. The upper limit for damage reduction is capped at 80% (see [[Minecraft:Armor#Enchantments|armor enchantments]]). It can only be achieved for specific damage types with [[Minecraft:Fire Protection]], [[Minecraft:Feather Falling]], [[Minecraft:Blast Protection]], and [[Minecraft:Projectile Protection]]. As each Specific damage reduction is 2x as effective as Protection.<br> <br />
You can achieve 80% with:<br> <br />
3x Protection IV + 1 Specific Protection IV, giving you 48% general protection + 80% specific protection<br> <br />
2x Protection IV + 2 Specific Protection IV, giving you 32% general protection + 80% specific protection<br> <br />
1 Protection IV + 2 Specific Protection IV + Another Specific Protection IV, giving you 16% general protection + 80% specific protection + 48% another specific protection.<br />
<br />
Unlike the [[Minecraft:Blast Protection]] and [[Minecraft:Fire Protection]] enchantments, Protection offers no side effects outside of damage reduction.<br />
<br />
The protection enchantment is applied after the armor's damage reduction.<br />
<br />
If applied on wearable items that can't get the enchantment normally, such as a pair of [[Minecraft:elytra]] (using commands or an anvil in [[Minecraft:Creative]] mode), the enchantment works as usual.<br />
<br />
== Incompatibilities ==<br />
Protection, [[Minecraft:Blast Protection]], [[Minecraft:Fire Protection]], and [[Minecraft:Projectile Protection]] are mutually exclusive. Attempting to combine these enchantments with an [[Minecraft:anvil]] deletes the enchantment in the upgrade slot and replaces it with the enchantment in the sacrifice slot. However, if [[Minecraft:commands]] are used to force two or more of these enchantments on the same item, the effects stack. But when the total of the [[Minecraft:Armor#Enchantments|enchantment protection factor]] provided by the protection enchantments surpasses 20, the rest of these enchantments will no longer directly reduce the damage.<br />
