How to Use Enchanted Books in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how to spruce up your Minecraft adventure with some magical flair? Using enchanted books is the way to go. But what are they, and how do you use them? Let’s dive in.
Enchanted books in Minecraft hold magical enhancements that can boost your gear, making it stronger, faster, or more durable. But, how exactly do you transfer the magic from book to tool?
Quick Guide to Using Enchanted Books
First things first, you’re going to need an anvil. This is where the magic happens – quite literally! Crafting an anvil requires a bit of iron, but it’s well worth the effort. Once you’ve got your anvil set up, just place the item you want to enchant and the enchanted book in the anvil’s slots. Voila! The enchantment from the book will transfer to the item. It’s as simple as that.
Remember, using an anvil costs experience points, so make sure you’ve racked up enough before trying your hand at enchanting. Also, some enchantments are specific to certain items. For example, a ‘Fortune’ enchantment won’t do much on a pair of boots!
