All Minecraft Enchantments with Descriptions

Minecraft Enchantments are a system that allows items in Minecraft to gain additional special abilities. These can be applied to weapons, tools, armor, and other special items. Each Enchantment can be obtained from an Enchanting Table or an Anvil (using an Enchanted Book), with some Enchantments only available through specific methods.

Items that can be enchanted include:

  • Sword and axe
  • Bow, crossbow, trident
  • A hoe, a shovel, and an axe.
  • Armor set (helmet, shirt, pants, boots)
  • Special items such as certain books and types of shoes
  • (In fact, every item can be enchanted if you use a special command.)

How to Obtain Enchant

  • From Enchanting Table, or in Thai we call it “โต๊ะเอนชานท์ ” (Enchanting Table) – uses Lapis Lazuli (ลาพิส) and XP to randomly enchant.
  • From Anvil + Enchanted Book – Used on an existing book to select an Enchantment.
  • From looting, fishing, or trading with Villagers to obtain items that are already enchanted.
