Here I will explain which Enchantments you should put on your Crossbow for the best use out of it.
Minecraft has a lot of weapons to choose from and with Enchantments, it makes it harder to choose as there can be multiple combinations of such weapons. If you do pick the crossbow as your main weapon then this guide will help you get the Best Crossbow Enchantments in Minecraft.
The Crossbow has five Enchantments and one Curse. The Enchantments you can put on a Crossbow are Mending, Unbreaking, Quick Charge, Multishot, and Piercing.
Here Multishot and Piercing are Mutually Exclusive Enchantments, so you cannot put both of them on the same Crossbow. I would recommend applying Mending, Unbreaking III, Quick Charge III, and Multishot. Mending and Unbreaking III will help your Crossbow not break and Quick Charge III will help you reload faster. The reason why I choose Multishot over Piercing as Multishot allows to hit more mobs at the same cost of one Arrow.
To use Piercing, you will need Mobs to stand one behind the other, which is rare. The benefit of running Multishot is you can spam Spectral Arrows with effects like Instant Damage on a wider area or even better Firework Rockets that do Explosive Area Damage. This effectively makes your Crossbow a force to be Reckoned with.
Hopefully, this guide helped you in choosing the right Enchantments for your Crossbow. Now you can show your friends who is the Boss. You can also check out our guides on Pistons and Name Tags.
