Enchantment Compatibility
I'm aware some enchantments can't be on the same item, so does anyone know what they are, thx G1ngerwithasoul (talk) 02:34, 9 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Please read the article before asking questions. Within the section Enchantments there is a notes section at the end (which is linked from within the enchantments table) which states every case of exclusivity (specifically read notes 2, 4, and 7) – KnightMiner  t/c 03:05, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Silk Touch - missing swords?
The page on Cobweb says that cobweb blocks can be obtained through Silk Touch-enchanted Shears or Swords. However, the sword isn't in the list of either primary or secondary items for the Silk Touch enchantment. Should the sword be added, or is the Cobweb information outdated? -Nyerguds (talk) 12:41, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * They're both correct. You can't get Silk Touch on a sword in Survival. You can do it with cheats, or in Creative it's possible with a book and anvil, in which case it does count as the "proper tool" when breaking cobwebs. Anomie x (talk) 12:54, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Huh. What a bizarre fringe case. -Nyerguds (talk) 12:56, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Well. I added it in Sword, with a note explaining the oddity. Then, at least, it's somewhere on the wiki. -Nyerguds (talk) 14:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

differences between pc and console
Is anyone actively editing this, aware that there are major differences between enchanting on PC and console versions? I keep reading about how enchantments won't 'reset' if you change the number of shelves etc... In my Xbox one version, I can simply reload the savegame and get a different enchant every time. Also, it doesn't seem to need lapis lazuli EVER (I wouldn't even know how or when) My friend told me that PC enchants don't consume all the XP levels, you just simply have to BE at that level? In my version levels are used as simple as payment; level 30 enchant=xp level drained by 30. I won't even touch upon levels over 30, 50 or 80(?!) as console version stops at 30. There's probably other stuff as well. Currently the page only mentions console version in two minor footnotes having to do with it just not being up to the PC version's release. (in general I feel most of this site caters very poorly to console players.) I wouldn't even know where to start adding all this to the page, maybe it should have its own section, or even page? 87.208.70.193 13:43, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * All of these changes in enchanting were made in 1.8. Developers haven’t bothered to port it to consoles just yet.
 * There are not much people who play Console Edition, hence not much info about it. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 13:59, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Slight correction, quite a few people play the Console Edition, just not a lot of wiki editors. We also generally cover the PC version, which means for the most part other editions are left as differences notes, and often when updates are released, people forget that the console edition did not change.
 * Anyways, I added notes about the console edition's differences. Feel free to correct any mistakes or add additional information. – KnightMiner  t/c 00:25, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Videos
There are some unused videos related to enchanting. They should be added to remove pages from Special:LonelyPages. The BlobsPaper.png 15:50, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Stacking
Do enchantments stack when you put the same enchantment on different armor pieces. I am especially interested in Protection. It says it reduces most damage but how much is most? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.226.245.40 (talk) at 15:57, 24 July 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * No. -BDJP (t 16:12, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Protection enchantments do stack, see Armor for details. Anomie x (talk) 18:02, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Pocket enchanting?
0.12.1 pocket edition enchanting has been added. Is it the same as Console ? Is it The same as PC but without the lapis? A mix between both? Or something entirely different? Boorider7 (talk) 21:02, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
