Enchantment Table

The Enchantment Table is an interactive Block that was added in Update 0.12.1. It is used to Enchant (imbue special power to) Items, including Weapons, Books, Tools, and Armor.

Crafting

 * 4 Obsidian + 2 Diamonds + 1 Book => 1 Enchantment Table

Interface
The Enchantment Table interface has a slot to insert the item that the Player wishes to Enchant, and one to insert the required Lapis Lazuli.

Once added, there will be 3 different Enchantments presented, each requiring a specific amount of Experience and Lapis Lazuli. Near the bottom of the interface, there is a preview of an Enchantment which will be included.

If Players have enough Experience, they can select the option of their choice, and the item will be Enchanted.

Better Enchantments
Enchantment tables are more effective when surrounded by Bookshelves, as they allow the Player to get better Enchantments. When surrounded by Bookshelves, small white symbols will appear to float from the Bookshelves into the Enchantment Table. A minimum of 15 Bookshelves are required in order to achieve the highest Enchantments possible.

Trivia

 * Version Exclusive : Enchantment Table books have luminosity.
 * Tommaso Checchi stated that this was a bug, but he decided to keep it.
 * There is no way to control what enchantment is offered, as the effect given will be random.
 * An Enchantment Table is not the full height of a Block; it is only 12/16th of a Block.
 * The book on top of the Enchantment Table will open if a Player is nearby, and will always face the Player even if he/she moves.
 * If the Player destroys/adds Bookshelves near the Enchanting Table, the Table will give a new set of possible Enchantments.
 * This is also applied to adding Torches on Bookshelves, as Torches count as a Block that is between the Table and the Bookshelf.
