Fire Protection is an enchantment applied to armor that reduces damage received from fire and reduces burning time.

Obtaining

Fire Protection can be obtained from enchantment tables, drops from mobs that have spawned in a raid,‌ books obtained by fishing, librarian villagers, and in the following structure loot chests: desert pyramids, strongholds, ocean ruins, ancient cities, mansions, pillager outposts, mineshafts, monster rooms, jungle pyramids, and from vaults in trial chambers.

Usage

Fire Protection reduces all sources of fire damage the user takes, including, but not limited to: fire, lava, magma blocks, lit campfires, and from mobs that deal fire damage (blaze's projectile, flaming arrows, burning zombies). This enchantment is capable of reducing any fire damage that would normally be ignored by armor.

Damage caused by close contact from blazes and magma cubes is considered to be melee damage and therefore cannot be reduced by Fire Protection. Fire Protection doesn't reduce damage from a ghast's fireball(contact is considered projectile damage and the resulting blast is considered explosive damage), though it does mitigate effects from the leftover blocks of fire from the blast.

Fire damage is defined by the game as any damage type in the minecraft/tags/damage_type/is_fire tag. Custom damage types defined by data packs can be added to this tag to allow damage dealt with with the damage type through the /damage command to be reduced by Fire Protection.

The formula for fire damage reduction (8 × level)%, up to a maximum 32% reduction with Fire Protection IV. The reduction stacks with multiple pieces of armor enchanted with Fire Protection.

Fire Protection has the side effect of reducing burn time when set on fire by (15 × level)%. This effect can stack on multiple armor pieces. This means that if the wearer is currently wearing armor with a total Fire Protection level of at least VII, then the total burning time reduction is 100%, effectively making the wearer fireproof.

Damage reduction from Protection, Fire Protection, Feather Falling, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection stacks up to an upper limit cap of 80% (see armor enchantments). Any further damage that would have been reduced is instead ignored. This cap can be reached with a total of 10 combined levels of Fire Protection, or by combining 12 levels of Protection with 4 levels of Fire Protection.

Incompatibilities

Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection are mutually exclusive. Attempting to combine these enchantments with an anvil deletes the enchantment in the upgrade slot and replace it with the enchantment in the sacrifice slot. However, if commands are used to force two or more of these enchantments on the same item, the effects stack. But when the total of the EPF provided by the protection enchantments surpasses 20, the rest of these enchantments will no longer directly reduce the damage.
