How do you enchant an item in Minecraft?

Answer 1

First of all you need an Enchanting Table, which can be made by, in a crafting table, on the first row middle slot put one book, on the second row put diamond/obsidian/diamond and on the bottom row put obsidian/obsidian/obsidian like this:

=B=

DOD

OOO

= is nothing

D is diamond

O is obsidian.

Once you have an Enchanting Table, take a crafted items but only things such as tools or weapons. This is the list:

any type of:

pickaxes

axes

hoes [the farming kind]

shovels

swords

helmets

chestplates [includes chainmail]

pants

shoes

*I may have missed some

*excluding items such as the fishing rod, bow, arrows, sheers, etc.

As far as I can remember that is all you can enchant currently as of 1.0.0.

to enchant your item, open the Enchanting Table screen after placing by right-clicking, then put your item in the slot on the left above your inventory. The enchanting number is random, but can be made higher by placing bookshelves within two blocks [leaving a one block space] of the Enchanting Table.

You need experience to enchant items which can be achieved by killing mobs and picking up the experience which fills your experience bar, which is above your heath and hunger bars.

Good luck and Happy Minecrafting!!
