First, players must have all the required blocks to build the table setup. To craft the table itself, they must have a book, two diamonds, and four obsidian blocks. Along with these, players must have bookshelves that can be crafted with wood planks and books.

If they aim to get the best setup for enchanting their items, they should have at least 15 bookshelves.

First, players can place the table in the middle so it has two blocks of space around it. After this, they need to place the bookshelves around the enchanting table. Furthermore, there should be one block of space between the table and bookshelves for the setup to work.

There are several ways to design the table setup to reach the maximum level of enchanting level. The main point that players need to remember is that the bookshelves should not be placed farther or nearer than one block away from the table, and they can only stack two blocks high.

The table should also be surrounded by at least three sides.
