How to enchant objects in Minecraft

If you want to know how to enchant objects in Minecraft, know that the standard procedure that allows you to achieve this is simple, but requires a little patience, as the bonuses that are applied to each object are completely random.

If you want to give a specific bonus to an object, you must implement the enchanting procedure through books (which I will tell you about in detail in the next chapter of the guide), which is quite cumbersome; alternatively, if you want to give a bonus to an object quickly and easily, you have to act through the command console.

But now let’s go back to the standard procedure and see how to enchant objects on Minecraft using the Spell Table. Therefore, the first step is to build this bench.

To carry out this operation, in a workbench, insert 1 unit of Book, 2 units of Diamond and 4 units of Obsidian. To make a book, you need 3 units of paper, which you can obtain by following the instructions I have provided you with in this guide, and 1 unit of leather.

Diamonds and Obsidian can be extracted from their respective mineral veins: in the specific case of obsidian, you can create one by pouring water on the lava. When you’ve got all the materials and made the Spell Table, place it on the ground to start using it.

But before you start creating spells to be engraved on objects, I recommend adding Libraries, which can allow you to improve the quality of the bonuses. To make a bookcase, use 6 units of wooden boards and 3 units of books to be placed on a workbench.

To increase the efficiency of the Spell Table, you can use a maximum of 15 Libraries. All you have to do is place the latter around the table, building a 5 × 5 square perimeter and taking care to leave a block of free space, just to access the area.

At this point, everything is ready to start enchanting objects. Place, therefore, weapons, tools or pieces of armor in the free slot and add the Lapis Lazuli in the slot alongside. At this point, you will be shown options representative from glyphs to select, indicating the amount of experience that will be subtracted from your avatar to instill the bonus.

All you have to do now is choose one of the three options that are shown to you, in order to complete the enchanting procedure. I warn you that once you have added a bonus to the object via the Spell Table, you will have no way of adding more to the same object.

How to enchant objects in Minecraft with books

The method I indicated in the previous chapter will allow you to add only one bonus to the equipment, while using the books you can instill multiple enchantments. Let’s see in detail how to proceed in this direction.

First of all, you have to follow the same operations that I indicated in the previous chapter to make a Spell Table with Libraries around it. Having done this, instead of using the equipment as a base on which to infuse the bonuses, you will have to use Books.

In doing so, although the bonus applied is random on the book, by creating several enchanted books you can subsequently choose which one to add to the equipment. The positive side of this procedure consists precisely in removing that element of randomness of the bonuses during the infusion on the objects, with the waste of the latter.

Take for example the case where you wanted to enchant gold or diamond weapons: finding these resources and making these objects will take time and energy; using books, the creation of which is simple, however, you can easily infuse different bonuses on the latter and then choose the one that suits your needs to add to the equipment.

Having said that, follow the same procedures that I have previously indicated, to instill a bonus on a book, so as to make it enchanted. Now that you have these kinds of books, it’s time to move on to the procedure to infuse them with the equipment.

The first step is to make an anvil: to do this you will need 4 units of iron ingots and 3 units of iron blocks to be placed in a workbench. If you want to know more about how to carry out this procedure, I recommend that you consult my guide on how to craft an anvil.

After creating the anvil, place it on the ground and interact on it: now, you just have to add the weapon, the tool or the armor in the first slot of the panel that is shown to you and then insert the enchanted book in the slot on the side. Once this is done, you will get the object with the chosen bonus as result. Comfortable right?

How to enchant objects in Minecraft with commands

In Minecraft you can also get enchanted items via the command console. This procedure will allow you to award even more bonuses than you can actually infuse into an object.

The commands you can use on Minecraft are two: / enchant and / give. The substantial difference between the two commands lies in the fact that the first requires that you already own the object to be enchanted: you just have to enter the correct string of the bonus you want to infuse. In addition, you can add the bonus with a level that cannot exceed that established by the video game itself.

The / give command, on the other hand, allows you to obtain any object in the avatar inventory, adding bonuses and even exceeding the maximum allowed level. Whether you want to use one command over another is indifferent, it all depends on what your needs are.

The advice that I can give you, in case you want to use the command console to enchant objects, is to read carefully what I have illustrated to you in my guide dedicated to the subject: you will find all the information you need in detail regarding the use of these two commands.
