How to Build Combat and Undead Armor Loadouts

You can customize your combat style using two new sword enchantments and several defensive or utility armor enchantments.

Offensive and Defensive Gear

• Sweeping Edge & Winter Aspect (Sword): Put Sweeping Edge on your sword at a Crafting Table to deal area damage when attacking mobs, or use Winter Aspect to freeze any mob you hit for a few seconds.
• Health Boost (Chestplate): Increases your maximum health by 5 hearts per level (available in Health Boost I and Health Boost II recipes at the Netherite Enchantment Table).
• Armoring & Burning Thorns (Chestplate): Armoring adds extra armor points to your chestplate, while Burning Thorns sets any mob on fire when it hits you.

Helmet Utility and the Undead Playstyle

• Sculk Eyes (Helmet): Grants both the Night Vision and Darkness effects while worn.
• Undead (Helmet): Gives your player the traits of an undead mob. While wearing an Undead helmet, you will never lose saturation, normally hostile mobs become neutral toward you, and killing a villager turns them into a zombie villager. However, you will also burn in direct sunlight and be actively attacked by Wolves and Iron Golems.
