Knockback Enchantments Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains the Knockback enchantment with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Background
The Knockback enchantment increases the knockback dealt when attacking a player or mob. This will cause the player or mob to repel backwards more than usual.
You can add the Knockback enchantment to any sword using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then use the enchanted sword to fight and see your enemies repell backwards when attacked!!
The maximum level for the Knockback enchantment is Level 2. This means that you can enchant a sword with up to Knockback II. The higher the level, the more powerful the enchantment.
