Players may find Unbreaking as an enchanted book around the Minecraft world. They can find a book enchanted with Unbreaking by fishing for it with a fishing rod enchanted with Luck of the Sea. They can also find it inside a chest or inside the stronghold.

Enchanted books are placed on weapons using an anvil. Anvils are tools that help players place multiple enchantments on a single item. Players can only use enchanted books in an anvil. Anvils are created using three iron blocks and four iron ingots.

Players can also add Unbreaking to a weapon using an enchantment table. Enchantment tables are created using four obsidian, two diamonds, and one book. Players can place bookshelves around the table to get stronger level enchantments. The max level of enchantment for Unbreaking is level three.
