Enchanting

Enchanting is an in-game mechanic that was added in Update 0.12.1. It allows the player to give special abilities to weapons, tools and armor. Enchanting is possible either by an Enchantment Table, or by an Anvil.

Enchantment Table
Enchanting through an Enchantment Table requires a specific number of Experience Levels and Lapis Lazuli in order to be enchanted. Once the required tool/armor is placed, the player may select from a choice of 3 enchantments, each requiring different amount of levels and Lapis Lazuli. Once the player selects one, the item will be enchanted.

Anvil
Enchanting through Anvils requires an enchanted book and the item that is to be enchanted. Once both are added, the player can choose to enchant the item. Once done, the item will be enchanted.

Weapons

 * Note: The roman numerals represent the max level of the enchantment. If there is a hyphen (-) between an enchantment and a numeral, this will mean only the specific enchantment has that level.
