Frequently asked questions
- How do I get Fire Protection in Minecraft?
- Hold a compatible item and run /enchant @p minecraft:fire_protection 4 (Java) or /enchant @p fire_protection 4 (Bedrock). Alternatively, use the /give command above to spawn a pre-enchanted item directly into your inventory.
- What is the max level of Fire Protection?
- The maximum level is Fire Protection IV (level 4). Using /give you can technically set any integer, but levels above 4 don't add further benefit in most cases.
- Does the Fire Protection command work in Bedrock Edition?
- Yes. On Bedrock use /enchant @p fire_protection 4 while holding a compatible item. Bedrock omits the "minecraft:" namespace prefix.
