Quick Charge is an enchantment applied to crossbows that reduces charge time.

Obtaining

Quick Charge I and Quick Charge II can be acquired using an enchanting table and by fishing. It can also be found in loot chests of monster rooms and loot chests of library rooms in strongholds. Quick Charge III can be acquired through an anvil by combining two crossbows/books that both have Quick Charge II on them. Quick Charge III can also be acquired by trading with a librarian villager,​^{[until: Villager Trade Rebalance]} or by finding it in a chest in a mineshaft or desert pyramid.

Usage

Quick Charge reduces the charge time of a crossbow by 0.25 seconds per level. The regular loading time is 1.25 seconds, making Quick Charge III result in a crossbow that requires just 0.5 seconds to load.

If commands are used to increase the enchantment level to level V or higher,‌^{[Java Edition only]} the crossbow loads instantly when used.

Specific cases

If Quick Charge is applied to a bow or trident by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment does not function.
