Minecraft players who have been gathering experience orbs from fighting enemies, crafting, and mining should consider using them to enchant items with an Enchanting Table.
Powered by Lapis Lazuli, the Enchanting Table is a block in Minecraft that allows players to use experience levels that they've earned to add enchantments to their weapons, armor, and tools.
Minecraft enchantments are wide-ranging, and the ones available are dependent on what item is being enchanted. From increasing weapon damage and improving harvesting of materials to increased underwater breathing and pulling up treasures with a fishing rod, there are enchantments for several situations in the game.
Crafting an Enchanting Table in Minecraft requires materials that may be tough to get for new players. The materials needed to craft an Enchanting Table are as follows:
While books are simple enough to find or craft, diamonds and obsidian require much more effort.
There are many ways for Minecraft players to find diamonds. Here are some of them:
When it comes to finding obsidian in Minecraft, players can give these methods a try:
Once players have the necessary materials and have crafted their Enchanting Table, they can begin enchanting their items.
All players need to do for lower-level enchanting is place the table. However, its enchantments can be powered up by placing bookshelves nearby, ensuring that there is one block of air between them and the Enchanting Table.
By placing an enchantable item into the table's slot, along with at least one to three pieces of Lapis Lazuli, the right window of the enchanting menu will pull up randomized enchantments for the player to apply. These enchantments will vary depending on the player's level, the amount of Lapis Lazuli available, and the number of bookshelves powering up the table.
In order to acquire powerful level 30 enchantments, Minecraft players will want to ensure that they have at least 15 bookshelves approximately two blocks in distance from the table. Placing any blocks between the shelves may block the magic runes in the shelves from transferring to the table, keeping it from powering up its enchantments.
Since Minecraft's enchantments are somewhat randomized, the enchantments available to players may vary. Sometimes, a player may get an Efficiency enchantment for their pickaxe, and other times, they may receive the option to get an Unbreaking one instead.
However, if players wish to refresh their list of enchantments, all they need to do is place a weak enchantment on an item, and the available list will refresh itself.
Once players spend the necessary Lapis and experience, they will be able to walk away with a newly enchanted item. If they have multiple enchanted items of the same type, they may even head to an anvil and combine the enchantments together into one item.
Enchanted items are a huge help in Minecraft and should be used whenever possible to enhance a player's prowess or productivity.
