What Does Efficiency Do?
Efficiency is an enchantment applicable to five tool types: pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and shears. It dramatically increases the speed at which these tools break blocks of their corresponding material type (e.g., an axe for wood, a pickaxe for stone). There are five levels, each offering a speed boost:
- 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)
