How to get enchanted books in Minecraft
An enchanted book is an item in Minecraft that allows players to add enchantments to tools, weapons, and armor using an anvil. There are several methods to obtain these enchanted books in the game, let’s look at them in detail.
One of the main ways to get an enchanted book is through fishing . In Minecraft, in fact, fishing is not limited to just collecting fish, but there is also the possibility of finding rare items. Among these, enchanted books are also included: when fishing with a standard fishing rod , there is a 0.7% chance of getting an enchanted book.
This chance can be increased, however, by using a fishing rod enchanted with the Luck of the Sea enchantment : this is an enchantment that increases the chance of finding rare items by approximately 2% with each level increase.
Another way to get enchanted books (in Minecraft Bedrock Edition) is by defeating specific mobs during raids. For example, the avengers and raiders that appear during these raids have a small chance to drop an enchanted book with a level 30 enchantment.
In addition, in villages , villagers (especially librarians) are a source of enchanted books in exchange for emeralds. The enchantments on books offered by librarians can vary greatly, including rare enchantments. The emerald cost of an enchanted book depends on the level of the enchantment, with prices reaching up to 64 emeralds.
There are other, less direct methods of obtaining enchanted books. These include finding enchanted items in chests scattered throughout the Minecraft world, such as dungeons, abandoned mines, strongholds, temples, mansions , sunken ruins, shipwrecks, and End cities . The enchantments on these items can have level requirements ranging from 20 to 30, making them particularly useful.
Other creatures, such as zombies and skeletons, may have a chance, albeit low, that they can drop an enchanted item if defeated. Of course, I am talking about items that are already enchanted, which I will tell you about in the next chapter on how to use them in a way that is just as effective as an enchanted book.
Finally, if you have cheats enabled on Minecraft , you can get enchanted books by using the /give command , which delivers the books you want directly to your inventory. You will need to use the following command string
/give @s enchanted_book[stored_enchantments={levels:{‘[nome_incantesimo’:[livello]}}] 1
For [spell_name] you need to enter the name of the spell you want to use, while for [level] you need to indicate a value between 1 and 3 , that is, one of the three levels of enhancement of the spell. In this regard, I recommend you use this online tool for generating command strings for spellbooks, which you can reach on this page for Minecraft Java Edition .
How to use enchanted books in Minecraft
To use enchanted books in Minecraft , you need to familiarize yourself with the anvil , the only tool that allows you to enhance your items. The anvil not only allows you to apply specific enchantments but also to combine enchantments on already enchanted items. If you don’t know how to build an anvil, I recommend reading this tutorial of mine .
When you have an enchanted book and want to transfer its power to an item, the first step is to place the anvil in your game world and interact with it to display its management interface. You will find three slots: the first on the left to insert the item you want to enchant, the second in the center to add the enchanted book, and the third to withdraw the enchantment result.
That said, place the item you wish to enchant in the first slot and the enchanted book in the second. If the item can be enchanted with one or more of the enchantments contained in the book, you will see the result appear immediately in the third slot and by placing the cursor over it.
To complete the process and collect the item, you must pay a certain amount of experience points , which varies depending on the number and type of enchantments in the book, as well as the type of item you are enchanting. Enchantments that are not compatible with the item will also increase the total cost of experience points you will have to spend.
In addition to enchanting new items, the anvil allows you to combine enchantments on already enchanted items . This means that if you have two items with different enchantments, you can fuse them to create an item that has both enchantments. This is useful when you don’t find the exact enchanted book but an item with the enchantment you need.
For example, if you have two swords, one with Sharpness and the other with Arthropod Bane, you can use the anvil to combine them into a single sword that has both characteristics. The combining process also requires experience, and the cost depends on the level of the enchantments and the number of times the item has been modified.
Please note that there is a maximum limit of 39 experience points in the cost of using any operation with the anvil. If the cost of an operation exceeds this limit, the anvil will refuse to complete it.
