Fire aspect increases your total damage output as it will do additional burn damage to the target. Target will burn for 4 seconds per level of the enchantment, target struck will receive 3 and 7 damage respectively for levels 1 and 2. It is quite useful to quickly grab some food as mobs that drop raw meat will now drop cooked meat instead when killed with fire aspect.

How to get Fire aspect?

There are multiple ways to get fire aspect enchantment, the most common ways are fishing, trading with villagers, enchanting tables, and regular loot from chest spawns. For an enchanting table, it is recommended to increase the number of bookshelves around the table as it increases your chances of getting higher-level enchantments.

Fishing is an RNG-based activity so the chances are quite low to get it through this method but your luck can be improved with the luck of the sea enchantment on your fishing rod. Getting it from loot chests is purely RNG so your results may vary. Another reliable way is to trade with villagers to obtain fire aspect, it can be found with the Librarians even at Novice levels.
