Efficiency

Efficiency is an enchantment that increases the player's mining speed.

Obtaining
Tools of any material except stone can receive up to Efficiency V through the enchantment table. Stone tools can receive up to level IV through the enchantment table, but can be given Efficiency V by combining 2 items with Efficiency IV in an anvil. Diamond tools with efficiency V can also be found in end city and bastion remnant chests.

Usage
The proper tool for a block must be used in order to receive the speed benefit; the enchantment has no effect if the block is mined with the incorrect tool. See for details on mining speed.

The speed increase applies to all blocks that drop an item when mined.

Efficiency applied to an axe increases the chance that the axe may stun a shield, with the base chance being 25% and a 5% increase for each level of efficiency.
