Set up functioning bookshelves
Table: 4 obsidian, 2 diamond and book. Shelf: 6 boards and 3 books. 15 shelves will require 45 books; together with the table book it is 138 paper and 46 leather. Reference: Minecraft: bookshelf.
Place the table in the center of the 5×5 square, with the shelves on the outer frame at table level. Leave one block between the table and shelves with air. On the frame 16 places: use 15, and leave the sixteenth as the input. Ordinary carved shelves cannot be replaced.
Check the offer before spending levels
Open the table with the unenchanted item and lapis lazuli. The bottom sentence should require 30 levels. If less, check the number of shelves, spacing, and solid blocks in between. Our stand leaves air and eliminates controversial decor combinations. In Java 1.20+, replaceable blocks no longer block the connection as before: do not consider any carpet or torch to be the cause of the failure.
The visible charm is only part of the possible result. Removing and returning the same thing does not change the sentence; Cheaply enchanting another item refreshes the options. Mending does not appear on the table; you will need another source for it.
If the anvil rejects the operation, check the reasons: The anvil says “Too Expensive”: what you can fix.
Plan the enchantments before using the anvil
For a pickaxe, choose Fortune or Silk Touch; both don't work together. Efficiency, Unbreaking and Mending are compatible with each option. Select ready-made high-level books: a long chain of joins increases the processing history.
Compare the price of both book orientations, check the final hint and only then take the result. grindstone removes normal enchantments, but does not save them to books; don't use it on a working rare set just for the sake of a new offer.
The repair procedure with new experience is described separately: Mending in Minecraft: repair equipment with experience.
