Momentum is not compatible with the following enchantments:

• Lifebound

• Level II: 3.4 seconds of Speed III.
• Level III: 3.8 seconds of Speed III.
• Level IV: 4.2 seconds of Speed III.

Tips

• Momentum can be a great way to escape from a fight or to chase down an enemy, get a friend to disable your shield and then chase your enemy!
• Be careful when using Momentum near ledges or cliffs, as you may accidentally run off.
• If you're fighting against someone with Momentum, try to attack them from behind to prevent disabling their shield.
• Whilst momentum might not be compatible with the other special enchantments, it can be combined with other enchantments such as Unbreaking or Mending to create a powerful shield.
