Minecraft/Enchantments

Enchantments can be added to tools, weapons and armor with an enchantment table or an enchanted book. Up to five (more on books) enchantments can be put one one item, with the use of an anvil. More than five can be added to books, so careful selection will allow to create, for e.g, a maxed-out sword. Warning: do not repair enchanted items on a crafting grid as any enchantments will be lost! Enchantments can be removed by force with a grindstone, which gives you some exp. points back. Enchantability Each enchantable item has enchantability, a value decides how rare, powerful and how many enchantments it gets from an enchantment table. The weaker the material, the higher the enchantability, with few exceptions (chain armour has a higher enchantability higher than leather armour, even though it is stronger). ../Book/s have an enchantability of 1, but enchantability seems to be ignored for them, almost always getting 2 or more enchantments. Enchantment protection factor Each protection enchantment provides an enchantment protection factor, or EPF for short. When protection enchantments are on multiple peices of equipped armour, EPF is added up, and capped to 20. Each point grants 4% protection, for a maximum of 80% damage reduced.

This means that they cannot be both placed on one item at the same time. Attempting to place an enchantment to an item removes all enchantments that conflict with it. This only happens on bedrock and java edition. On other editions, the only way to put a conflicting enchantment on an item is to start fresh: make a new one or use a crafting table to repair the item and remove enchantments. Why not just use a grindstone? They don't exist on editions that you would have this problem on - except for PS4. Enchanted books You can place any enchantment on a book, or find the books all around the world. They can be a way to ensure you don't accidentally get an enchantment that you don't like. They are also used to add more enchantments on one item, or increase an enchantment's level. Treasure enchantments These are enchantments that can only be obtained from enchanted books around the world.
