Much like our real world, the oceans in Minecraft remain unexplored even after a decade of the game's release. Most players go there to kill mobs or get loot from monuments. However, with a little planning, you can discover almost all of the game's ores and more in Minecraft's waterways. And with the presence of the Warden in Minecraft, the caves are no longer safe anyway. The only problem though is that Minecraft doesn't allow you to properly mine underwater. That's where this handy guide comes into play. We've covered the Aqua Affinity enchantment in Minecraft, which is the most reliable counter to mining and exploring water. We've included details on Aqua Affinity's unique effects, spawning, and more. So let's get started with further ado!
How to get and use Aqua Affinity Enchantment in Minecraft! | Simple Minecraft tutorial
We will first cover the details and function of the Aqua Affinity enchantment. But feel free to skip straight to the steps to acquire this useful enchantment using the table below.
Mining on the ground is relatively straightforward in Minecraft. You need to use a pickaxe and our minecraft ore distribution guide to get any ore in the game. And the source material for the pick defines how quickly and efficiently you can mine a block. But all this changes when your character enters the water.
When a player's head goes underwater, their mining speed is greatly reduced. As a result, it takes about five times longer to mine underwater than on land. No type of pick is exempt from this effect. Similarly, if you float in the water, there is a separate fivefold reduction in mining speed. So it can take up to 25 times longer for you to mine than mining outside the water.
