Life Steal Enchantment

Life Steal is a weapon enchantment with 3 levels that heals you when you damage enemies. Higher enchantment levels reduce the minimum damage you must deal to trigger life stealing from your target.

You can obtain Life Steal through:

  • Enchantment table — Apply it like any other enchantment
  • Loot chests — Find it in world generation loot
  • Villager trading — Trade with enchantment-offering villagers
  • Commands — Use /loot give @s loot life_steal_enchantment:<level> or /enchant @s life_steal_enchantment:life_steal <level>

Apply the enchantment to any weapon and deal damage to enemies to steal their health as your own.
