Enchanting is the action of using an enchanting table to add special bonuses to tools, weapons, or armor. Here are the objects you'll need to make an enchanting Table:

To enchant items, you must use the experience orbs leveling system. To enchant, you must be at least level 1. To do it, you must right click on the enchanting table and put your item in the slot and choose an option. It might happen that no options come up, but keep taking it out and putting it back until you get one. Also you might not be able to enchant all things at level 1. Here is an enchantment that was successful.


The cost to enchant something is experience points you gain by killing mobs, breeding livestock, mining resources or using your furnace. If you were level five and did a level 3 enchant, you would go back to level 2. The better the enchantment, the more levels it takes.



The effects caused by enchanting can vary wildly from knocking your foes back to igniting them as if you used a flint and steel.
