Enchantment table and anvil
The enchantment table uses experience and lapis lazuli for items without enchantments. An anvil allows you to combine a suitable item with an enchanted book or with another compatible item. Before confirming, see the final result and cost in the interface. Don't waste a rare tool just to test an unknown effect: learn the name of the enchantment first. The book in the inventory and the already enchanted tool are different stages of preparation.
What effects to choose for the instrument
For mining, it is useful to understand the difference between Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch. Efficiency makes the right tool work faster. Fortune increases the amount of loot for supported blocks, and Silk Touch helps obtain the blocks themselves where the effect is applicable. Choose for a specific task: collecting resources and saving a block require different results. Unbreaking reduces durability consumption; Mending uses experience for repairs. Check the compatibility of the selected effects in your edition.
Why is the book not suitable for the subject?
Enchantments have item and slot restrictions. For example, Feather Falling refers to shoes, and Aqua Affinity helps you mine underwater with the appropriate headgear. A book does not become universal just because it lies next to the instrument. If the anvil doesn't offer the expected result, compare the item type and the effects it already has. Experimental features and additions may change the rules, so test the normal world without them first.
How to create a clear set
Start with the most common action: mining, combat, traveling, or working underwater. Write down the desired result and choose one item to match it. Before the next improvement, compare what exactly has changed in the game. It is not necessary to immediately collect a complete set of maximum effects: a familiar tool with a clear purpose is more useful than a random collection. Keep a supply of materials for repairs and monitor the cost of operations. For an accurate list of effects, use the official certificate of your publication.
