FAQ

What tool do I need to mine an enchanting table?

A pickaxe of any tier (wooden or better). It drops itself; a hand or wrong tool yields nothing.

How do I reach level 30 enchantments?

Place 15 bookshelves around the table, each with a single air block between it and the table, to unlock the full enchantment range.

What do I need to enchant an item?

Enough experience levels and at least one lapis lazuli per enchant, placed in the table's interface.
