Enchantments are perks or special abilities that one can place on an item to make it more powerful. They can be applied to items by means of an enchanting table or an anvil.

Enchanting tables are crafted using four blocks of obsidian, two diamonds, and one book. Creating an anvil requires four iron ingots and three blocks of iron; however, an enchanted book is necessary for the anvil to work.

To enchant items, players need to ensure they have experience or enchantment levels. The number above the green bar at the bottom of the screen indicates the their current experience level.
