Enchanting can be done with a enchantment table which requires many resources and the outcome can be boosted with bookshelves and their backdrop counterparts. The enchantment takes experience levels. The number of levels is determined by the enchantment. The high the enchantment, the more experience levels.
+
Enchanting is a system in which [[the player]] trades [[experience]] to give [[armor]], [[tools]] and [[book]]s special boosts and abilities. Enchanted items have a transparent purple animation overlayed infront.

== Enchanting methods ==
 +
There are three ways to enchant an item in [[Survival]] mode:
 +
 
 +
* Through an [[enchantment table]] in exchange for [[experience]]. Only unenchanted items may be enchanted this way.
 +
* Through an [[anvil]], combining an enchanted [[book]] with an item.
 +
* Through an [[anvil]], combining two of the same item with different existing enchantments into a single item that has the enchantments of both.
 +
 
 +
A player may also obtain items already enchanted through [[fishing]], which gives a chance of obtaining enchanted [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[book]]s.
 +
 
 +
Players in worlds with [[Commands|cheats]] enabled can also enchant items using the <code>/enchant</code> command. In [[Creative]] mode, items can be enchanted via an [[anvil]] and enchanted [[book]]s, with no [[experience]] required.
 +
 
 +
== Enchantments ==
 +
 
 +
The '''Enchantments''' are upgrades given to certain tools, and those mostly come directly from [[:wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft]], and are sometimes increased in levels such as for Unbreaking (from a maximum of III-Minecraft, to level IV-Mine Blocks, as well as Protection IV-Minecraft, to Protection V-Mine Blocks). The maximum level for enchanting is 54.
 +
 
 +
The Level Requirement for Maximum Level column shows the minimum level needed to enchant an item with that enchantment at maximum level. This number can be useful, as if the player removes/adds [[Bookshelf|bookshelves]] around the [[enchantment table]] so that a certain level to enchant at is more probable, it will be more likely to get an specific enchantment.

Enchanting is a system in which the player trades experience to give armor, tools and books special boosts and abilities. Enchanted items have a transparent purple animation overlayed infront.

Enchanting methods

There are three ways to enchant an item in Survival mode:

  • Through an enchantment table in exchange for experience. Only unenchanted items may be enchanted this way.
  • Through an anvil, combining an enchanted book with an item.
  • Through an anvil, combining two of the same item with different existing enchantments into a single item that has the enchantments of both.

A player may also obtain items already enchanted through fishing, which gives a chance of obtaining enchanted bows, fishing rods and books.

Players in worlds with cheats enabled can also enchant items using the /enchant command. In Creative mode, items can be enchanted via an anvil and enchanted books, with no experience required.

Enchantments

The Enchantments are upgrades given to certain tools, and those mostly come directly from Minecraft, and are sometimes increased in levels such as for Unbreaking (from a maximum of III-Minecraft, to level IV-Mine Blocks, as well as Protection IV-Minecraft, to Protection V-Mine Blocks). The maximum level for enchanting is 54.

The Level Requirement for Maximum Level column shows the minimum level needed to enchant an item with that enchantment at maximum level. This number can be useful, as if the player removes/adds bookshelves around the enchantment table so that a certain level to enchant at is more probable, it will be more likely to get an specific enchantment.
