Talk:Enchanting Table

I knew that the enchantment table also has an block required to craft found in the aether(sky dimension) and in the mods I saw that it would be used to repair tools. what exactly will be the use of the enchantment table?


 * This enchantment table has nothing to do with any enchantment table blocks added by any mods, including the Aether. The enchantment table will be used for enchanting and magic, if the article is correct/Notch and Jeb don't change the system drastically. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Use the "Search" function
Original Enchantment table page Please use the search function at the top of the page before creating pages to ensure that the page hasn't already been made. Because of this mistake, a merge action has to be taken, instead of a move that was originally planned. This takes longer, and deletes the history of the original page. --HexZyle 07:16, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * History merges should not be used in cases such as this, and if you want to keep people from creating such duplicate articles, you should create redirects from obvious titles when the article is created. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Enchantment system origins?
Not saying that Notch got it from here, but the Enchantment system he's planning works pretty much exactly like the enchantment system in FATE and Torchlight. (Random enchantments) The Shrine of Learning randomly changes one of your stats, and the Anvil of Enchantment gives a random enchantment (or even curse) to a selected piece of your equipment. Not to mention the base of the Enchantment table looks like the Anvil and the Book is resting on it like the Shrine of Learning. (minor similarities, but it's interesting how they all match up) Fate Screenshots --HexZyle 09:55, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

SGA Alphabet
Use of the SGA Alphabet could explain why Steve is the only Human character from the game's perspective. So the Testificates might be intelligent natives of that world, and the Pigmen might be mutants. --Ecksearoh 20:42, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, pigmen aren't the mutants. It's the Creepers, zombies, and skeletons. The Creepers end their lives by blowing up and sending small, needle like spores into a person's skin. Then the person mutates into a zombie. The the zombie decays into a skeleton, which lives its live out as a bag of bones. Giant Spiders are just Giant Spiders. Always have been, always will be. And that's why enemies hate you! &#124; JSan 19:41, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Crafting
How can I craft it(in pre realese)?

You cant and this is a wiki not the place to ask questions like that


 * The Enchantment Table has not yet been released in either of the Pre-releases of 1.9. It will either be coming in the full version of 1.9 or 1.10. --HexZyle 14:12, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * So where is this crafting recipe from? Or are people just making it up? --Warlock 15:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It's speculation and should be removed until we know for sure.--Saphireking65 15:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Speculation
There's a bit of specualtion in the opening paragraph "may be used..." etc. Please keep this stuff on a facts-only basis. Thank you. 160.227.129.232 17:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Books love each other
i have discovered that surrounding the table with bookshelf makes letters fly from the shelf themself!

maybe this gives it more power? i have no idea what it does

...Issues with signature button im having... so im going to manually type the code PhillipF 17:41, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * It does nothing, it's just for decoration. --Wizjany 02:42, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Exactly. All particle effects do nothing in the game. This also applies to liquid drips, and lava embers. --HexZyle 04:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I just tested it on 1.9.3 and this doesn't happen. 75.142.6.130 02:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Actually, lava embers do have an effect. If they touch a flammable object, then that object is set on fire. Hlast 12:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Lava's burning behaviour: Point 4: "Contrary to popular belief, the “embers” or “fireballs” which fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not directly cause fires". Fire is randomly placed at random times on flammable objects within a certain distance of lava. --HexZyle 14:12, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Some sort of passworded sentence?
Hey, Ive been messing about with the enchanter and it doesnt seem to do anything. Does anyone else suspect you need 3 specific words in a row as the enchantment to get a specific bonus on the item? Just a thought. --68.104.151.228 06:30, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Just don't put spaces before what you want to say and you wont get that formatting problem. Oh, and you need skillpoints to enchant an item (and you can only enchant tools) --HexZyle 06:28, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Uhh, I meant Ive been enchanting things, for example, I enchanted a shovel and it didnt get any more durability than a standard shovel. --68.104.151.228 06:32, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Enchanting doesn't work on SMP, just incase you are trying it on there --HexZyle 06:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Enchantable Items
Turns out shears can be enchanted too. I can't imagine them actually having any buffs, though. Anyone care to test? --Whybanme12345 02:01, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Clicking the book?
Somebody wrote "[click the book in the gui to get new enchantments]" I'm trying that on 1.9pre3 and that's not true. I'm not sure whether to delete that sentence or not. Moomoohk 02:54, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Words in alphabetical order
I have decided to sort the words here, but I am not sure whether or not to change this... air animal ball beast berate bless cold creature cube curse darkness demon destroy dry earth elder elemental embiggen enchant fiddle fire free fresh galvanize grow hot humanoid ignite imbue inside klaatu light limited mental niktu of other physical range scrolls self shorten shrink snuff sphere spirit stale stretch the towards twist undead water wet xyzzy --71.12.246.236 21:25, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, what is on the page is just a bunch of random junk. Your list would be much better. One thing though, "berate" is supposed to be "berata." Father  Toast  22:07, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it's in that order because "The Elder Scrolls" easter egg is in there...but for some reason the word was changed to klaatu, and there is too many edits on this page over the last 24 hours for me to identify who the vandal was or why they did it :( --HexZyle 05:05, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
