The Level Requirement for Maximum Level column shows the minimum level needed to enchant an item with that enchantment at max 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, they are more likely to get that specific enchantment.

Revision as of 09:05, 4 January 2020

Enchanting is a system in which the player trades experience to give armor, tools and books special boosts and abilities.

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 mostly come directly from Minecraft, and are sometimes increased in level 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 max 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, they are more likely to get that specific enchantment.

Commands

Since the 1.28 update, you can enchant your equipment by using commands. An example enchant code would be: /enchant Unbreaking4 (the enchantment level can be specified by using either natural numbers (1 - 5) or roman numerals (I - V)). You can, also, repeat an level-1 enchantment command to increase the level of the enchantment (ex: repeating three times /enchant Unbreaking1 in a Balloon will make the Balloon have an Unbreaking III Enchantment).
