What is enchanting table in Minecraft?

Minecraft lets you add magical abilities to weapons and armour using an enchanting table. However, enchanting can be tricky as you cannot predict its effect – you may get a significant update for an item or waste hard-earned materials. For instance, if you are trying to enchant armour, you might get Fire Protection or Curse of Binding that prevents you from taking out items from armour slots unless your character dies or the armour breaks. That said, enchanting is worth taking chances as you would most likely end up with something great.

How to build an enchanting table

To build an enchanting table, you need materials like two diamonds, four obsidian, and a book. If you have all of these, you can follow the steps listed below:

• Open the crafting menu
• Arrange obsidian in the centre and three more at the bottom row of the grid
• Put diamonds on both sides and the book in the middle of the top row
• You will see an enchanting table on the right that you can drag and drop in your inventory
• You also need to build 15 bookshelves around the enchanting table to increase the maximum enchantment level to 30

• You can build bookshelves using 6 planks and 3 books arranged in the manner shown above

How to use a Minecraft enchanting table

After you place the enchanting table, you can interact with it to open a brand-new interface. On the left side, you can add 1 to 3 lapis lazuli and the item you need to enchant. You will see some scripture on the right side that will hint at the randomly rolled enchantments. If you hover the cursor over one of the hieroglyphs, it will give you a clue about the potential enchantments.
