If you are looking for the best armor enchantments in Minecraft, we recommend starting with the following base enchantments that can be enchanted for all armor pieces in the game.
- Projectile protection
- protected
- Fire protection
- Explosion protection
- Unbreakable
Overall, if you want to enchant armor, you should choose one of the enchantments listed above, preferably their higher tier versions, and place them on any piece of armor you own.
This is because some enchantments are incompatible with others, so you'll want to spread them out to get the most bonuses and protection against different types of damage.
Each of the protection enchantments gives the player a buff and damage reduction for their respective damage type. So for the projectile enchantment, it reduces the amount of damage you take from arrows, fire protects from fire damage, and explosion reduces damage from explosions.

For this reason, it's ideal to have one of each enchantment on one of your armor pieces to reduce the amount of damage you take from a particular damage type.
You can also get special enchantments depending on the piece of armor; for example, helmets can breathe and boots can drop feathers.
