Players will first need experience levels when enchanting in Minecraft. Enchanting works by trading in experience levels for the enchantments. Players will use experience levels to buy enchantments in the game. Enchantments can be placed on items using an enchanting table or an anvil. Enchanting tables are crafted using four blocks of obsidian, two diamonds and one book.

Anvils are crafted using four iron ingots and three iron blocks. To enchant using an anvil, players need an enchanted book and experience levels. Enchanted books can be found in treasure chests, in strongholds, by fishing for one, by trading with a villager. Players can also create one with an unenchanted book in an enchanting table.

Players need lapis and experience levels to enchant using an enchanting table. Lapis can easily be found inside caves and ravines. When opening the enchanting table, players will see a list of three enchantments.

If the player just crafted the table, there is a possibility that the enchantments will be at the minimum level. However, there is a way for players to increase their level of enchantment to 30 (which is the max).
