In Minecraft, Enchanted books are a great way to apply enchantments to items. Here’s exactly how you can use Enchanted books in the beloved sandbox title.

Enchantments are a vital part of the Minecraft universe as they allow players to turn their weapons, armor, tools, and other objects into magical items.

Even though this practice is typically made with an Enchanting table, using a book is a more comfortable option thanks to its portability. Plus, some special enchantments can only be obtained with this method in the game.

Also, because Enchanting tables require obsidian and diamonds, they are more expensive to assemble, so Enchanted books are the way to go if you don’t have resources to spare.
