Minecraft:Blast Protection

Template:For Template:Infobox enchantment Blast Protection is an Minecraft:enchantment applied to Minecraft:armor that reduces damage taken from Minecraft:explosions and Minecraft:fireworks and increases Minecraft:explosion knockback resistance.

Obtaining

Blast Protection can be obtained from Minecraft:enchanting tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a Minecraft:raid Template:Only, books obtained by Minecraft:fishing, librarian Minecraft:villagers, and in the following structure loot chests: Minecraft:desert pyramids, Minecraft:strongholds, Minecraft:ocean ruins, Minecraft:ancient cities, Minecraft:woodland mansions, Minecraft:pillager outposts, Minecraft:mineshafts, Minecraft:monster rooms, Minecraft:jungle pyramids, and from vaults in Minecraft:trial chambers.

Usage

Blast Protection reduces the damage the user takes from all explosions, including, but not limited to:

Minecraft:Fireballs shot by Minecraft:ghasts
Minecraft:Creepers/Minecraft:charged creepers
Minecraft:TNT
Minecraft:Beds/Minecraft:respawn anchors
Minecraft:End crystals
Minecraft:Wither and wither skulls
Minecraft:Firework rockets
Any Minecraft:damage type in the minecraft/tags/damage_type/is_explosion damage tag

The formula for damage reduction by explosions is Template:Cd, meaning that for every additional level another 8% of the damage is negated. The highest level (Blast Protection IV) absorbs 32% of the damage inflicted by any explosion.

Template:IN, Blast Protection has the side effect of reducing knockback created from explosions by Template:Cd, stacking with multiple armor pieces. This also includes the knockback effect from Minecraft:wind charges and the Minecraft:Wind Burst enchantment.

Damage reduction from Minecraft:Protection, Minecraft:Fire Protection, Minecraft:Feather Falling, Blast Protection and Minecraft:Projectile Protection stacks up to an upper limit cap of 80% (see armor enchantments). Any further damage reduction that would normally be applied is instead ignored. This cap can be reached with 10 combined levels of Blast Protection on the player's armor, or by combining 12 levels of Protection with 4 levels of Blast Protection.

Incompatibilities

Minecraft:Protection, 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 EPF provided by the protection enchantments surpasses 20, the rest of these enchantments will no longer directly reduce the damage.
