Fire Protection is an armor enchantment that reduces damage from fire.

Usage

Fire Protection reduces all kinds of ongoing fire damage, which is normally not absorbed by armor, by (8 × level)%, so every additional level of Fire Protection adds an extra 8% of protection, up to 32% reduction on one piece of armor. The reduction stacks with multiple pieces of armor enchanted with Fire Protection, up to a max of 80% reduction.

In Bedrock Edition, as long as the Fire Protection total adds up to 7 or higher (for example, a chestplate with Fire Protection 4 and a helmet with Fire Protection 3), a player cannot catch fire through normal sources, although damage is still taken when standing on fire.

In Java Edition, Fire Protection reduces burn time when set on fire by (15 × level)%. If multiple pieces have the enchantment, only the highest level's burn time reduction is used. If the player obtains an armor piece with Fire Protection 7 or higher, they cannot catch fire through normal sources, although damage is still taken when standing on fire.

Damage reduction from Protection, Fire Protection, Feather Falling, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection stacks up to an upper limit cap (see armor enchantments).

Incompatibilities

Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection are mutually exclusive with Fire Protection. However, if commands are used to have two or more of these enchantments on the same item, the effects stack.
