Power

Power is a common ranged enchantment in Minecraft 1.21. Power is the bow's core damage enchantment, multiplying the impact of a fully drawn arrow so each shot lands for considerably more than an unenchanted bow.

Its opening level already delivers a noticeable boost — +50% damage (base 6 -> 9) — and it climbs from there to a maximum of level 5 (V) on your bow.

Power tops out at level 5, shown as V on the bow, and the gap between the levels is where the enchantment's character really lives.

The bonus is percentage-based and generous: +25% per level plus a flat starting boost, so Power I already adds 50% and Power V reaches +150%. A fully charged Power V bow lands critical arrows in the 23–25 damage range, enough to drop most mobs in one or two hits.

Power fits exactly one item — the bow — and nothing else will accept it, so it is a dedicated bow enchantment through and through.

Power has no exclusivity conflicts at all, so you can layer it onto a bow alongside every other enchantment that bow accepts without having to give anything up.

Power can be rolled directly at an enchanting table, where reaching its top level of V on a bow generally wants a fully bookshelf-powered table at roughly level 11. Players who would rather not gamble for Power can hunt the book down through loot chest and villager trading and apply it at an anvil.

Its selection weight of 10 makes Power a common roll: it shows up frequently among the options when you enchant a bow, so building one rarely takes many tries.
