The '''Enchantment Table''' is a block.<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/119797462222385152</ref> Notch has stated that [[Enchanting]] will work in three stages and the effects will be based on the spell you choose, but a random loot element will be included as well.<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/119799522170912768</ref><ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/119803746376089600</ref> Each spell will cost the player experience levels but in turn allow the player to enchant armor and swords so that they will be more powerful and last longer. Enchanted items will have more of a glossy look.

The Table will enchant [[swords]], [[shovels]], [[pickaxes]], and [[axes]] of [[wood]], [[stone]], [[iron]], [[gold]], and [[diamond]], as well as all [[armor]]. The [[hoe]], [[shears]], [[bow]], [[fishing rod]] and [[flint and steel]] cannot be enchanted.

If the table is surrounded by [[Bookshelves]], with one block of air inbetween, various particles shaped like the glyphs from the enchantment interface float from the bookshelves into the [[book]] part of the table only when the player is nearby. According to Jeb, having [[Bookshelves]] near an enchantment table will increase the potency of enchantments.<ref>http://twitter.com/jeb_/status/123663863018299393</ref>
== Translation problem ==
 
<br>'''Hi Quatroking,'''
 
<br>I'm a minecraft player from hungary, and I would like to take part in the hungarian translation project. Only problem, that it's not possible because the website software says that I don't have the right to create new pages. Is there a solution by any chance? I would like to create Items/hu and pages like that, not whole new wiki pages.
 
<br>Thanks,
 
<br>Kenkesey8

:12:17, 3 April 2011 [[User:Ultradude25|Ultradude25]] deleted "[[Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox]]" ‎ (This page is useless. If you want to screw around with templates do it in your userspace.) - [[Special:Log/delete]] -- [[user:Oliver Scholz|Oliver Scholz]] - '''<small>de.Wiki Admin</small>''' 17:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

{{main|Enchanting}}
  +
Enchantment names are randomly constructed from a long list of words. Three to five words are chosen from the list and appended to each other, creating the enchantment name. Any name can be chosen for any item. Note that the names are not actually saved with the item, they are only displayed in the Enchantment Table interface, albeit with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_Keen#Standard_Galactic_Alphabet Standard Galactic Alphabet].
   
  +
Some of the possible enchantments are Bane Of Arthropods, Smite, and Fire Aspect. All enchantments have a level associated with them, from I to V. The code supports displaying levels up to X, and for some enchantments will continue to boost the power of the enchantment indefinitely if the level is increased with an external editor. This has been confirmed to work on both single player and multiplayer.
::Considering this is about an action performed by Ultradude25, please [[user_talk:ultradude25|ask him]] instead.--[[User:Quatroking|Quatroking]] - '''<small>MCWiki Administrator</small>''' 18:12, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 
   
  +
Enchantments as shown in the table have an associated level, but this is actually the cost, in terms of skill points or levels, to apply this enchantment. The actual enchantment given is randomly selected based on the cost, where a higher cost equates to more powerful enchantments.
:::I deleted it because It has no point. The only possible reason to have it is if it's ignored by the recent changes list, so using it doesn't spam it up; but it IS included, so you may as well play with templates and wikicode in your userspace. Having a single page for it is just going to lead to people fighting over the space and putting useless spam in. –[[User:Ultradude25|<span style="color:#07E" title="MCWiki Admin">ultradude25</span>]] <sup>([[User:Ultradude25/t|<span style="color:#081" title="Talk">T</span>]]|[[User:Ultradude25/c|<span style="color:#800" title="Contributions">C</span>]])</sup> at 06:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

A normal table can only enchant up to a cost of 5, but surrounding the table with bookshelves will increase the power up to a maximum of 50 (as of 1.9pre4).

== Trivia ==
== Typo on "Minecraft Wiki:Directors" ==
 
  +
* Notch commented on Reddit "Oh, it's more magical than that! It automatically opens up and turns towards players who get close to it. When nobody is around, the book is closed and spins slowly."<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/kwjnt/notch_twitter_its_an_enchantment_table/c2nsx1l</ref>
  +
* Notch comments on other book animations. "Yes, the pages flip randomly every now and then."<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/kwjnt/notch_twitter_its_an_enchantment_table/c2nt311</ref>
  +
* On October 1st 2011, Notch tweeted an image of the enchantment screen, with enchantments written in the [[wikipedia:Commander Keen#Standard Galactic Alphabet|Standard Galactic Alphabet]].<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/120207632228298753</ref> The first enchantment translates onto "Well Played Internets You Are Good", the second translated into "These Names Will Be Random And Confusing", and the third translates to "Each Spell Costs Experience Levels". The Standard Galactic Alphabet or SGA was originally created by Tom Hall for use in the ''[[wikipedia:Commander Keen|Commander Keen]]'' series of computer games.<ref>http://www.omniglot.com/writing/sga.htm</ref>
  +
*Although the bottom texture would at first glance appear to be the obsidian texture, it is in fact slightly different.
  +
*Clicking on an item in the enchantment slot, with an identical item or a dirt block allows you to quickly cycle through available spells without the item being removed from the enchantment slot. This keeps you from having to click twice.

== Bugs ==
Hey, I noticed a typo on [[Minecraft Wiki: Directors]] but couldn't fix it because the page is protected. In the introduction part of the page, the line, "This page and it's talk page is to facilitate communication between them and allow all of the various language sites to work in sync with each other." should read "This page and its talk page is to facilitate communication between them and allow all of the various language sites to work in sync with each other.". The typo I fixed was changing "it's" to "its". Could you please make this correction for me?

* Enchantments are disabled in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 3's SMP. If a player attempts to enchant an item, it will appear enchanted for the client, but will update with the unenchanted status once the player logs out and then back in again.
  +
* If you shift click an item into the enchanting table the game will crash. (In both creative and survival modes)
  +
* The enchantment Table Block breaks with a single punch with an empty hand. This is most likely not intended since it is made of obsidian.
  +
* Breaking the enchantment Table Block by hand seems to destroy it permanently, losing the diamonds and obsidian needed to make it.
  +
* When playing on a Beta 1.9 pre-release 3 server, if an enchantment table is broken and replaced with another [[Tile Entity]] block, the enchantment table's book will continue to be rendered on the client, and activating it will crash the client.
  +
* When holding an enchanted item above the book graphic in the enchantment GUI, the item's glow bleeds out into the book graphic.
  +
* By using a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment, it is possible to harvest and bring ice into the Nether and melt it for water. (unknown whether intended or not)
  +
* In Beta 1.9 Pre-release 4 if you destroy a chest that contains '''any''' enchanted items, the items become unenchanted. This bug was fixed in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 5.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/lr0cs/195_changelist/</ref>

==Herobrine==
 
 
 
In most wikis, anything that is "notable" gets a page. Why not add this page, with a clear header indicating it is a joke, and with factual information such as:
 
 
Herobrine was the subject of a persistent urban legend centered around Minecraft. The persistent stories held that Minecraft hid a human NPC by the name Herobrine. The NPC was alleged to build its own mines and homes, and to haunt, taunt, or observe the player in SSP. Although Notch frequently stated Herobrine was a false rumor, he often played along, fanning the flames with tongue-in-cheek twitter posts. In version 1.6.6, he attempted once again to lay the rumor to rest in a tongue-in-cheek manner, by officially declaring that Herobrine had been removed from the game. It is currently unknown whether Herobrine was always a joke, or whether such an ultra-rare NPC did, at one time, exist in the game.
 
 
I'm not trying to jump into a delete war here, but Notch is obviously in on the joke, and the topic definitely has notability. And, Herobrine has of course now made it into the changelog, lending further weight to a purpose for this page. [[User:TheNthDoctor|TheNthDoctor]] 17:08, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 
 
I agree, herobrine is a good part of the game because of it being a sort of minecraft mystery and deserves a page,i mean no matter what people will still hear about it, and by deleting wiki pages and forum posts your just making the myth seem even more true because of the bit about posts being deleted on the forum.--[[User:Higbey|Higbey]] 18:14, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:FYI, I am still in full favour of this page (that's not a thing that stopped happening), despite being demoted twice for it. and I really hope you guys can come up with a way to make the page eligable, which I believe means showing admins, specifically quatro, that the page is noteworthy and needed.
 
 
:(like the fact many do not know who he is until they see it, and the fact that we have a page for lanterns which were only mentioned, as herobrine once was. in fact, it's the same situation, if you think about it. only it has more history. and the fact the polish wiki has one but has a disclaimer etc. etc. etc.) --[[User:Kizzycocoa|Kizzycocoa]] 18:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

:::Ok, if that is your opinion, prove it. Answer this, then: How is herobrine different from spleef, so that spleef fanfic is acceptable and herobrine fanfic not? Notch has tweeted about both of them, told jokes and so on. Both are well known and have shrines etc. on many online servers. Both are made up by fans. So, where's the big difference?

::::Spleef is pretty much the only official minigame in Minecraft, while Herobrine is a forced meme. It's like comparing Football to the Flying Dutchman. If anything Herobrine should be mentioned somewhere, something I've been looking at lately. (this is only because Notch keeps forcing the meme) Just because Notch mentions it every once in a while does not make it fanfic. Spleef eventually got played on pretty much every servers, had servers dedicated to the game, got played by everyone of Mojang, etc etc it grew out of fanfiction.

The current page prety much tells just the facts and is thus OK IMO, and should be kept like that). <small>PS. seems the arguing has no point anymore, but I'd still want to say there are lots of herobrine shrines and people who really do search for him (poor guys...) online (and offline ofc). And then there's the mods (no, they aren't the reason to give herobrine an article!) and skins, popularity. One really good point brought up by... Erm... Someone, was that the "myth" of herobrine told that forum posts and articles regarding herobrine were immediately removed (well this pretty much DID happen on the wiki articles...). If we just laid down the facts, it would be useful for newbies (I can imagine how dumbfounded they can be of this kind of ghost story) and veterans alike. Just to add "completeness" to the wiki. Then, rule 3A. has an exception (spleef), and rule 6 is pretty much enforced using common sense ("...if the user in question has a certain role in the community." There's no way to measure roles.), and I do think herobrine falls under the category of allowed articles, even taking rules into concern.</small> <span style="background-color:black; border:1px solid grey; font-variant: small-caps;">[[User:TheKax|<span style="color:white;">| TheKax | </span>]] <small>[[User talk:TheKax|<span style="color:grey;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</small></span> 11:19, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 
::::::It does not deserve an article on its own, at most being mentioned somewhere. This is because its a (forced) meme and was brought up by trolling in the first place.

:::::::I wouldn't say herobrine is forced. And how is it forced? No-one forced people to hunt for herobrine. No one forced who-was-it to make the adventure game series "Escapecraft", where you escape herobrine. They didn't force Notch to tell those jokes. The concept of meme is, that it spreads freely from people to people. That's what happened to herobrine. A meme cannot be forced. "Forced" and "meme" rule each other out. How was herobrine "forced"? I think you are viewing this subject from a very narrow scope, and I can't see how it is right to dictate this decision over a democratic vote of 28 vs 3 (as on kizzycoca's userspace), just because there is an admin among those 3. That is NOT democracy. You cannot say democracy on a wiki wouldn't work, since most of us are not trolls or vandals. The idea of freely editable wiki is powered by democracy. (I'd say there was that guideline somewhere, can't tell where though. I'll look it up.) BTW, About football and Flying Dutchman, both have an article on wikipedia.

Everytime I open Minecraft, it crashes about a minute later. I
 
know its going to crash when the blocks I had just mined look the
 
same, but other blocks and objects (including my charecter) can go
 
through them. Also, when I look at the ground I can see tunnels.
 
And then the game crashes.
 
My brother also has the same problem (on a different computer)
 
except on his, there are dark spots with the mining problem and all
 
blocks placed there are invisible, and you can see the network of
 
tunnels through them (he was delighted to discover he has been
 
through more than half of them).

== Dutch wiki ==
 
 
Hee Quatroking,
 
ik ben sinds gister begonnen met het uitbreiden van de Nederlandse minecraftwiki en het uitvinden van de juiste codes voor plaatjes, doorverwijzingen etc. Zijn er nog meer mensen die dit doen? Is er een centrale plek waar je kan overleggen? Wie leidt deze mensen? Zijn er regels? Kortom, wat moet ik weten om zo snel en goed mogelijk te helpen de Nederlandse wiki een goede informatiebron te maken. [[User:Herkio|Herkio]] 17:30, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 
:Op het moment worden de meeste dingen besproken op de [[nl:Minecraft Wiki:Gebruikersportaal|Gebruikersportaal]], hier kan je alle informatie vinden die je nodig hebt.--[[User:Quatroking|Quatroking]] - '''<small>MCWiki Administrator</small>''' 19:25, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== Link target discussion on Directors page ==
 
 
Hey Quatroking, since I can't comment [[Minecraft Wiki talk:Directors#External Link Target|there]] myself, I figured I'd leave this with one of the involved people and have them repost it there for me. Wikipedia has a [[wikipedia:MediaWiki:Gadget-exlinks.js|Javascript-only solution]] which causes all external links to open in new tabs by default. I'm not sure it could be copied straight here, or if it would require a bit of tweaking to work properly, but it's an angle to consider that wouldn't require Curse to install another extension. Cheers! <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ダイノ</span><span style="color:#080">ガイ</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 16:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== deleted page... ==
 
 
Hi there!
 
 
A day or two ago, we had one of our translated pages deleted by you. It was The Second Day, under Tutorials.
 
We wish to know why it has been deleted, and/or how can we go on in translating this page. ^^
 
 
Tutorials/ptbr/the second day/ptbr
 
 
Also, the main page Tutorials/ptbr was deleted..
 
 
Same questions, how can we keep translating? Is it because we allocate the page in a wrong way?
 
 
Thanks a lot,<br />

== Stronghold Coordinates ==
 
 
Why did you totally delete them? They have been confirmed by several people, including myself, as a real and adequate example of a stronghold. Is it againt the rules to add coordinates? [[User:Cleverlynamed1|Cleverlynamed1]] 17:30, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:Because the location of Strongholds depends on what seed is used. Any such list of coordinates is useless unless the list covers every possible seed, and then it's useless because of the sheer insane size of the thing. If you want to try listing Stronghold coordinates, you need to do so on your own website or find someone else willing to let you do so on theirs. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 17:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:: However, if the seed is given, as it was in this case, are the coordinates not ''always'' valid? You seem to imply that this wiki is not the place for coordinates, even valid ones. If I am inferring correctly, can you give me reason for this? [[User:Cleverlynamed1|Cleverlynamed1]] 17:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:::Because the list is useless if you only list the coordinates for a single seed. How many people are going to create a new map with a given seed just to find a stronghold, instead of looking for one in their main world? Sure, some will do it if they've never found a stronghold before, just to see firsthand what they're like, but most people will want to know where they can find one on ''their'' map, which means that to be useful to even the tiniest fraction of such people, the list would have to contain millions of different seeds; this is neither desirable nor practical for a wiki. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 17:45, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
:::In addition, every time the terrain/feature generation code is changed, the location of every single stronghold on every single listed seed would change. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 17:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
::::Fair enough. You have explained your position well. But I am seeing an inherent philosophy which you are attributing to the wiki which may or may not be true. It seems that you are saying something like the premise, "If and only if something is useful to a great number of people, then that thing is suitable to the wiki." I must ask then, how great a number of people must a piece of information serve before that piece is worthy of the wiki? Furthermore, how do you know that a possibility of exploring a stronghold in game, even if it is only inside of a new map, would not be something desirous to a great number of people? Even a number which fits your description for that which is worthy of the wiki. [[User:Cleverlynamed1|Cleverlynamed1]] 17:54, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:::::It's not about numbers, it's about immediate usability of the information. The fact that pistons cannot push obsidian is completely useless to the vast majority of players, but for those that do benefit from it, it is immediately applicable in any relevant situation, on any map, with any seed, in any version of Minecraft after the introduction of pistons. Stronghold coordinates, on the other hand, are only applicable to people who are looking for a stronghold, only on maps with one of a select few seeds out of the trillions possible, and then only on one or two versions of Minecraft. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 18:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:Pretty much how Dino explained it.--[[User:Quatroking|Quatroking]] - '''<small>MCWiki Administrator</small>''' 18:07, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
::::::Again, fair, and again, well stated. I would ask two more questions then, so as to flush out the inherent concept or value which all information should have to be added on this wiki. Obviously this is an important concept, and one worthy of discussion! So, I appreciate your wisdom on the subject.
 
 
::::::At this moment, I am understanding your definition for what I will call "valuable" in the wiki to be "Something is valuable in the wiki if and only if it has immediate applicability in "minecraft-ing in all versions, in all cases." Now, I must know if this is what you are saying before we can explore the important subject of "value" here, so I must ask the question, "What is your definition for what is valuable, that is to say, worthy of indoctrination, into the wiki?
 
 
::::::Now, specifically to coordinate/seeds. I must disagree that a coordinate/seed is not immediately useful. I say that it is useful, in the same way that a picture or a link is useful. A picture, which does seem to be valuable in the wiki, is nothing more than a visual, two dimensional example of a particular occurrence or object in the game. A coordinate/seed is an in-game, three dimensional example of a particular object/area in the game. Now, while this serves to establish similar qualities, it does not allow us to attribute value to a coordinate/seed yet. However, we can probably glean from that which we know of a picture what is valuable about it. I would say, from my own experience, that the value in a picture comes from the mass of knowledge that can be amassed by looking at something. It serves to show visual appearance, potential uses and the way it interacts with its environment, among many other things depending on the content of the picture and the complexity of the subject. As it is said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." I feel that it is the information contained in these "thousand words" that makes the picture useful. Now, we can see that this same mass of information is present in a seed/coordinate. One can wander in through the object, see it from all angles, inspect it and learn a mass of information much more quickly that one can read it. Assuming the information one would gather could even be expressed in wiki form. Now, one could argue, although I would not think it prudent, that the necessity to start a new game diminishes the value of the information. To be honest, I see no reason for this whatsoever. All of the information is there, and I see no cause for ease of access being in any way related to value. Even this wiki is not in game, and one must exit to come here. This is where my previous analogy of a link comes in. It is direction to somewhere one may receive more information on the game. These qualities are what is valuable in a link, and, are qualities present in a coordinate/seed as well.
 
 
::::::As to your argument that it is not valuable because it differs with the terrain generation code. I agree that this does offer a case in which the vast information in a coordinate seed loses its usefulness. However, this could be easily remedied by changing it to a version/coordinate/seed layout, rather than eliminating it altogether. [[User:Cleverlynamed1|Cleverlynamed1]]
 
 
:::::::It's not immediately useful because we're striving to document how the game works independent of any customizations a user can apply to the game. A specific seed is a customization. It's akin to documenting how mods affect things; we don't. They have their own pages, but they don't affect the main articles. --[[User:JonTheMon|JonTheMon]] 18:51, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
::::::::As Jon said. I could've worded my above reply better; a better way to phrase it would have been "non-volatile" versus "volatile" information. Any information that could be added to the wiki and that is specific to individual seeds is inherently volatile, both because it is different for every seed, and because it is different for most versions of Minecraft. This, combined with the sheer number of possible seeds, means it is beyond impractical to document here. On the other hand, a mob whose behavior changed with every version and patch would still be worth documenting, including noting how its behavior has been changed over time, because that information is non-volatile in the sense that it can be applied regardless of what map seed a player might be using. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千?!</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 19:52, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:::::::: (Thanks for fixing my indent) Really it seems that your definition has been reduced to, "That which is not relevant to the wiki, is that which is relevant only to a single seed." While this is a good and workable definition for this particular case, it doesn't serve to answer the question of what is valuable to the wiki, and what is not. This is not the particular forum for that discussion though perhaps, and we should continue that another place. I believe that having universal standards for what is necessary for and valuable to this wiki would be '''invaluable.''' That way, any time there is a dispute, we could merely point to the definition and thereby solve the dispute. Where do you think this conversation should be started so as to get the most helpful input, especially of the admins? [[User:Cleverlynamed1|Cleverlynamed1]] 22:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
:::::::::The main gist of this wiki is: document vanilla minecraft. Providing a specific seed is a bit beyond that. Also, you've been discussing with one admin (dino) and the other admin (this page), also agreed with dino. --[[User:JonTheMon|JonTheMon]] 22:20, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 
 
::::::::::But that begs the question, "What is "Vanilla Minecraft?" It is imperative to have a very detailed philosophy of what can be integrated into the wiki that even our respected Admins are subject to. This is to promote unity in the different Admins, as well as more easily display the will of the Admins for the direction of this wiki.

The Enchantment Table is a block.[1] Notch has stated that Enchanting will work in three stages and the effects will be based on the spell you choose, but a random loot element will be included as well.[2][3] Each spell will cost the player experience levels but in turn allow the player to enchant armor and swords so that they will be more powerful and last longer. Enchanted items will have more of a glossy look.

The Table will enchant swords, shovels, pickaxes, and axes of wood, stone, iron, gold, and diamond, as well as all armor. The hoe, shears, bow, fishing rod and flint and steel cannot be enchanted.

If the table is surrounded by Bookshelves, with one block of air inbetween, various particles shaped like the glyphs from the enchantment interface float from the bookshelves into the book part of the table only when the player is nearby. According to Jeb, having Bookshelves near an enchantment table will increase the potency of enchantments.[4]

In 1.9 Pre-Release 3 through 5 the Enchantment Table can be destroyed with a single punch, but only drops as a block if it is harvested with a Pickaxe.

History

Notch first tweeted about the Enchantment Table on September 30th 2011.[5][6]

Enchantments

Main article: Enchanting

Enchantment names are randomly constructed from a long list of words. Three to five words are chosen from the list and appended to each other, creating the enchantment name. Any name can be chosen for any item. Note that the names are not actually saved with the item, they are only displayed in the Enchantment Table interface, albeit with the Standard Galactic Alphabet.

Some of the possible enchantments are Bane Of Arthropods, Smite, and Fire Aspect. All enchantments have a level associated with them, from I to V. The code supports displaying levels up to X, and for some enchantments will continue to boost the power of the enchantment indefinitely if the level is increased with an external editor. This has been confirmed to work on both single player and multiplayer.

Enchantments as shown in the table have an associated level, but this is actually the cost, in terms of skill points or levels, to apply this enchantment. The actual enchantment given is randomly selected based on the cost, where a higher cost equates to more powerful enchantments.

A normal table can only enchant up to a cost of 5, but surrounding the table with bookshelves will increase the power up to a maximum of 50 (as of 1.9pre4).

Weapons with enchantments may have particle effects when they are used to attack, depending on the enchantment.

Trivia

  • Notch commented on Reddit "Oh, it's more magical than that! It automatically opens up and turns towards players who get close to it. When nobody is around, the book is closed and spins slowly."[7]
  • Notch comments on other book animations. "Yes, the pages flip randomly every now and then."[8]
  • On October 1st 2011, Notch tweeted an image of the enchantment screen, with enchantments written in the Standard Galactic Alphabet.[9] The first enchantment translates onto "Well Played Internets You Are Good", the second translated into "These Names Will Be Random And Confusing", and the third translates to "Each Spell Costs Experience Levels". The Standard Galactic Alphabet or SGA was originally created by Tom Hall for use in the Commander Keen series of computer games.[10]
  • Although the bottom texture would at first glance appear to be the obsidian texture, it is in fact slightly different.
  • Clicking on an item in the enchantment slot, with an identical item or a dirt block allows you to quickly cycle through available spells without the item being removed from the enchantment slot. This keeps you from having to click twice.

Bugs

  • Enchantments are disabled in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 3's SMP. If a player attempts to enchant an item, it will appear enchanted for the client, but will update with the unenchanted status once the player logs out and then back in again.
  • If you shift click an item into the enchanting table the game will crash. (In both creative and survival modes)
  • The enchantment Table Block breaks with a single punch with an empty hand. This is most likely not intended since it is made of obsidian.
  • Breaking the enchantment Table Block by hand seems to destroy it permanently, losing the diamonds and obsidian needed to make it.
  • When playing on a Beta 1.9 pre-release 3 server, if an enchantment table is broken and replaced with another Tile Entity block, the enchantment table's book will continue to be rendered on the client, and activating it will crash the client.
  • When holding an enchanted item above the book graphic in the enchantment GUI, the item's glow bleeds out into the book graphic.
  • By using a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment, it is possible to harvest and bring ice into the Nether and melt it for water. (unknown whether intended or not)
  • In Beta 1.9 Pre-release 4 if you destroy a chest that contains any enchanted items, the items become unenchanted. This bug was fixed in Beta 1.9 Pre-release 5.[11]
