How to Get Fire Protection

Obtain using Enchanting Tables

The most common way to obtain Fire Protection is through an Enchanting Table. You'll need XP and Lapis Lazuli to enchant an item.

Use Bookshelves to increase enchantment levels

Placing bookshelves around the Enchanting Table will increase the possible enchantment levels of an item. There must be one block of air between a bookshelf and the Enchanting Table for this to work.

Obtain by Fishing

Fishing - Minecraft
Head out into open water and use your Fishing Rod to catch items with Fire Protection enchantments. The Luck of the Sea enchant will increase your chances of catching enchanted items.

Loot from Chests

You'll find Fire Protection in Treasure Chests in structures and dungeons around the world. Make sure you're properly equipped with armor and weapons since these areas will be infested with Mobs.

Trade with Villagers

You'll be able to trade items with villagers to obtain Fire Protection. Librarians will be your best bet since you can trade Emeralds for enchantments even at Novice levels.

You'll have to level up other Villager types to obtain their enchanted stock.

Increase Your Survivability

I 8%
II 16%
III 24%
IV 32%

Fire Protection greatly increases your resistance against all fire damage, including lava. This is especially useful when traveling through the Nether due to all the surrounding lava. You can also equip it as a precaution when mining in case you accidentally fall into lava. You can take more risks in your journeys thanks to your added survivability.

Multiple armor pieces with the Fire Protection enchantment can stack up to a maximum of 80% damage reduction.

Will Not Stack with Other Protection Enchantments

Avoid using Fire Protection, Protection, Projectile Protection, or Blast Protection enchantments together since these will not stack.
