What is an Enchanting Table?

An Enchanting Table is a utility block in Minecraft used to apply enchantments to tools, weapons, and armor.

Enchanting requires experience levels and Lapis Lazuli, making it an essential block for late-game progression.

Where Can an Enchanting Table Be Found?

Enchanting Tables do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. They are crafted using four Obsidian blocks, two Diamonds, and one Book. Since Obsidian requires a Diamond Pickaxe to mine, crafting an Enchanting Table is typically done after acquiring Diamonds. More details about crafting materials can be found in the Obsidian article.

What Can Players Do with an Enchanting Table?

Enchanting Tables allow players to apply powerful effects to their tools, weapons, and armor. To maximize enchantment levels, players surround the table with Bookshelves, which increase the table’s power up to level 30. Higher-level enchantments require more experience points and Lapis Lazuli. Players can also use Grindstones to remove unwanted enchantments.
