Enchanting (Minecraft Guide)

Once you've exhausted the limits that pysical laws place on your Minecraft experience, don't make the mistake of thinking there is nothing left to find. Come withus now as we enter the world of magic and power, Minecraft calls enchanting.

To Begin...
Although it's possible to find to find pre-enchanted items in the world of Minecraft in chests and abandoned mineshafts the best and more efficient way to obtain them is to use your own enchanment table. The are currently three ways to do enchanting: one of which is just to simply place a tool or armour piece in the ecnahnting table, and click on an availible option in exchange for Lapis Lazuli. Another way is to use an Anvil. You can use Anvils to combine tools with enchanted books, or existing enchanted tools with enchanted books, both ways of which will cost a certain amount of xp, the more enchantments you put on a tool the higher the cost.

The last way to enchant, amd arguably the least convienient is to trade with NPC Villagers. Village Priests will sometimes trade a regular tool with emeralds, and put a random enchantment on it. Priests will not trade already enchanted tools, and will always use emeralds. Trading has the benefit of costing no xp points but the rarity of emeralds and chance of a bad enchantment to be put onto the tool, makes this technique very less effective.

Equipment
Enchanting Tables are made with a mixture of Diamonds, Obsidian and a book. They are used to directly enchant items and armour. To enchant an item simply place one in the availible slot of the enchanting table and choose one of the three availible option to enchant it. The hyroglyphic like symbols mean nothing, it is completely random. To choose an option place the required amount ofLapus Lazuli in the table's second slot and you can then pick your desired option.
