The glint animation applied to an enchanted diamond sword.

Enchantments modify the behavior of tools, weapons, and armor, granting additional abilities. A Minecraft:glint animation appears on items to show that they are enchanted.

Obtaining

File:Enchanting-Table.png

An enchanting table surrounded by bookshelves.

The player can apply enchantments to items by:

• Using an Minecraft:enchanting table. An unenchanted item can be enchanted at the cost of Minecraft:lapis lazuli and Minecraft:experience levels.
• Using an Minecraft:anvil.
  • An enchanted or unenchanted item can be combined with an Minecraft:enchanted book at the cost of experience levels.
  • When two like items are combined, their enchantments are also combined, at the cost of experience levels.
• Using the Template:Command or Template:Command commands.

Enchanted items can be obtained from:

• Minecraft:Trading. Some villagers trade enchanted items for emeralds.
• Minecraft:Fishing. Enchanted items can be obtained from fishing treasure loot.
• Mob Minecraft:drops. Some mobs can spawn with enchanted weapons or armor and have a chance of dropping their items when killed by a player.
• Minecraft:Bartering. Piglins sometimes drop enchanted items when given gold.
• Minecraft:Generated loot from various Minecraft:structures.
• Minecraft:RaidsTemplate:Only. Minecraft:Pillagers and Minecraft:vindicators spawned during raids may drop enchanted items.

In Creative mode, items can be enchanted using an enchanting table or anvil without using lapis lazuli or experience levels. Enchanted books can be found in the Minecraft:Creative inventory.

Template:Va Template:Main

File:Enchanting Table GUI.png

Enchanting table interface.

An enchanting table can be used to enchant unenchanted items, consuming lapis lazuli and experience levels in the process. The player can only choose one of three randomly generated enchantments to apply to the item; however, there is a chance for additional bonus enchantments to also be applied. The quality of the offered enchantments depends on the arrangement of bookshelves around the enchanting table. Which of the three offered enchantments the player can choose depends on the player's experience level.

Template:Anchor Anvil

An Minecraft:anvil can be used to combine the enchantments of two like items, or an item and an enchanted book; one of the items is always sacrificed in the process. Combining items in an anvil costs experience levels; the amount depends on the enchantments of the sacrificed item, and the number of times the items have been used in an anvil.

Trading

Some villager sell enchanted equipment or books. Minecraft:Armorer, Minecraft:fisherman, Minecraft:fletcher, Minecraft:toolsmith, and Minecraft:weaponsmith villagers sell enchanted tools, weapons, or armor with non-treasure enchantmets. Minecraft:Librarian villagers sell enchanted books that can have almost any enchantment, including most treasure enchantments, except for Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst.

Bartering

Piglins can trade enchanted books or iron boots with a random level of Soul Speed when given gold ingots.

Fishing

Template:Main Enchanted books, bows, and fishing rods can be obtained from fishing treasure loot.

Mob drops

Some mobs can spawn with enchanted weapons or armor, which have an 8.5% chance of dropping if the mob is killed by a player.

Generated loot

Most Minecraft:structures that contain loot chests have a chance of generating enchanted books or items.

Raids

Template:IN, pillagers and vindicators spawned during a raid have a chance to spawn with enchanted weapons or armor, which has a chance of dropping if the mob is killed by a player.

Behavior

Effects

The effects of enchantments vary significantly. Some enchantments increase protection against specific types of damage, others increase damage dealt to certain classes of mobs. Some enchantments grant unique abilities such as summoning a lightning bolt or turning water into ice blocks. See Template:Slink.

Level

Many enchantments have multiple levels. Generally, the higher the level, the more potent the enchantment's effects are. Levels are stylized as Roman numerals (I, II, III,...). The minimum level of any enchantment is I; the maximum level depends on the enchantment. When applied using Template:Command, which ignores regular maximum levels, the maximum allowed level for any enchantment is 255.<ref name="maximum">Template:Bug</ref>

Incompatibilities

Some enchantments are incompatible with one another. This means that it is not possible for the player to apply both conflicting enchantments to the same item using standard methods, including Template:Command, although Template:Command can force conflicting enchantments onto the same item with varying results to their effects. Enchanting tables and generated loot do not produce items with conflicting enchantments, and attempting to combine conflicting enchantments in an anvil results in the sacrificed item's incompatible enchantment being lost.

Conflicting enchantments

• Sword: Minecraft:Sharpness, Minecraft:Smite, and Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods
• Tool: Minecraft:Fortune and Minecraft:Silk Touch
• Armor: Minecraft:Protection, Minecraft:Fire Protection, Minecraft:Blast Protection, Minecraft:Projectile Protection
• Boots: Minecraft:Depth Strider and Minecraft:Frost Walker
• Bow: Minecraft:Infinity and Minecraft:Mending
• Crossbow: Minecraft:Multishot and Minecraft:Piercing
• Trident: Minecraft:Loyalty and Minecraft:Riptide or Minecraft:Channeling and Minecraft:Riptide
• Mace: Minecraft:Density, Minecraft:Breach, Minecraft:Smite, and Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods.
• Books: Minecraft:Sharpness, Minecraft:Density, and Minecraft:Breach. All of the above restrictions also apply.

Some enchantments are incompatible with certain items. For example, Minecraft:Protection, which decreases damage, cannot be applied to Minecraft:swords or Minecraft:axes, and Minecraft:Sharpness, which increases attack damage cannot be applied to Minecraft:armor.

Primary and secondary items

An enchantment's primary items are the set of items that can receive the enchantment from an enchanting table. Some items that cannot receive a particular enchantment from an enchanting table can still have the enchantment applied to them by combining the item with an enchanted book in an anvil; these are the enchantment's secondary items.

Template:Va

Treasure enchantments cannot be obtained through an enchanting table, and are never found on natural equipment worn by mobs or on enchanted equipment traded by villagers. Most treasure enchantments, however, can be generated on Minecraft:enchanted books sold by Minecraft:librarians. If a treasure enchantment is tradable, it has double the price (before capping to 64 emeralds) compared to a non-treasure enchantment of the same level.

Some treasure enchantments, such as Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst, can only be obtained in specific structures or through a specific game mechanic.

Template:Va

Curse enchantments apply negative modifiers to items and cannot be removed once applied. Attempting to Minecraft:disenchant an item with curse enchantments removes all other enchantments, except for the curse enchantments.

Disenchanting

Enchantments can be removed from an item by combining it with another item in the Minecraft:grindstone or the Minecraft:crafting grid. This does not remove Minecraft:curse enchantments from the item.

List of enchantments

Descriptions

Each enchantment in the table below includes attributes that are possible for the player to acquire legitimately in Minecraft:Survival mode. Other combinations are possible in Minecraft:Creative mode or with cheats, mods, or third-party software.

• Max Level: Maximum level that can be obtained without commands.
• Primary Items: The Minecraft:items that can receive the enchantment legitimately in Survival mode by using an Minecraft:enchanting table. Items of any material can be enchanted (some more easily than others – see Enchantment mechanics).
• Secondary Items: Items that, in Minecraft:Survival mode, cannot receive the enchantment from an enchanting table but can from an enchanted book with an anvil.

Maximum effective values for enchantments

Template:Needs update Using Template:Command, items can be enchanted at higher levels than in vanilla gameplay. Some enchantments continue to increase their effectiveness at higher levels. However, there is a point where higher levels no longer increase effectiveness. The table below shows the effective limits for enchantments (also found here).
