Maximize Your Stamina Pool
Understanding Stamina Scaling
Your maximum stamina is directly tied to your current health. Each heart you have grants you a proportional amount of energy to spend on sprinting and swimming. This means your stamina bar will shrink if you take damage, and grow back as you heal.
Boosting Stamina Beyond Health
To run and swim longer than your health alone allows, use the Vigour enchantment on a chestplate:
1. Bring a chestplate to an enchanting table
2. Enchant it until you obtain Vigour
3. Equip the enchanted chestplate
The higher the enchantment level, the more bonus stamina you gain. This bonus stacks on top of your health-based stamina, letting you sprint further without stopping to rest.
Additional Stamina Boost
If you find the Vigour status effect applied to you (through potions or other means), it will temporarily increase your maximum energy limit even further, giving you a significant mobility advantage during that duration.
