Minecraft - Brewing and Enchantment Part 2

Time for part 2. I'm going to cover enchanting in this post. You will need to craft yourself an enchanting table, some bookcases and some items to enchant.

An enchantment table uses the number of bookcases to control the enchantment level that is available to you which is between 1 and 30. Enchanting uses your experience points that you have earned by slaying mobs, mining, smelting, etc.

To craft the enchantment table you will need some diamonds some obsidian and a book. Before you start mining I recommend that you build a small sugar cane farm because you require plenty of books to build your bookcases and whilst you are in the mine the sugarcane will be growing.

Once you have your materials to craft your bookcases and enchantment table you can start to place the items you need to place the bookcases two blocks away from the enchanting table with nothing in between them. You can place the bookcases on the same level as the enchantment table or one block higher. I organised mine in the pattern displayed in the picture.

All that is left now is to enchant some items you need to use the enchantment table in the same way you would a furnace or chest. Then you place your item to be enchanted on the table you will then be provided with a list of enchantments to choose from. These are all random the only thing that you can see is the experience level. If you want to see lower level enchantments you could try putting a torch in between some of the bookcases and the table to limit the level of enchantments available.

This covers enchanting next time we need to venture into the nether to obtain materials and ingredients for brewing.
