Unbreaking Enchantment Tool Negative Binomial Graph

Graphs showing the probability of a tool breaking after a number of uses with different levels of this enchantment. Some lower durability materials may last longer than higher durability materials with some enchantment levels.

Obtaining

Unbreaking can be obtained from Minecraft:enchanting tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a Minecraft:raid,Template:Only books obtained by Minecraft:fishing, Minecraft:librarian Minecraft:villagers, and non-village Minecraft:structure loot.

Usage

For Minecraft:tools and Minecraft:weapons, there is a <math>\frac{100\,%}{level+1}</math> chance that using the item reduces durability, which means that for levels I, II, and III the item has a <math>50\,%</math>, <math>66.\overline6\,%</math>, or <math>75\,%</math> chance of not using any durability. On average, tools last 2, 3, or 4 times as long.

For Minecraft:armor, there is a <math>60\,%+\frac{40\,%}{level+1}</math> chance a use reduces durability, meaning each durability hit against Unbreaking I, II, and III armor has a <math>20\,%</math>, <math>26.\overline6\,%</math>, or <math>30\,%</math> chance of being ignored. On average, armor lasts about 1.25, 1.36, or 1.43 times as long. Levels below 0 can lower the chance to reduce durability to less than 60 %.

When durability is reduced by multiple points, for example, when hooking a mob with Minecraft:fishing rods or getting blown up with Minecraft:TNT, Unbreaking is applied for each point of decision of actual reduction.
