Frequently asked questions

How do I get Punch in Minecraft?: Hold a compatible item and run /enchant @p minecraft:punch 2 (Java) or /enchant @p punch 2 (Bedrock). Alternatively, use the /give command above to spawn a pre-enchanted item directly into your inventory.
What is the max level of Punch?: The maximum level is Punch II (level 2). Using /give you can technically set any integer, but levels above 2 don't add further benefit in most cases.
Does the Punch command work in Bedrock Edition?: Yes. On Bedrock use /enchant @p punch 2 while holding a compatible item. Bedrock omits the "minecraft:" namespace prefix.
