Minecraft enchantments are some of the most powerful buffs you have access to. Silk touch allows the collection of normally unobtainable items, fortune makes resources and materials much more abundant, looting causes hostile mobs to drop more items, and mending repairs items by consuming XP. Knowing how to access these powerful effects is vital to survival, even for veteran players.
Detailed below is every method in the game for obtaining enchantments or enchanted books, along with which enchantments each method gives access to. This will tell you exactly what to do to hunt for the effects you're looking for.
All the ways to obtain Minecraft enchantments
The enchanting table
Chart New Territories with the ultimate Minecraft Seed Generator!
A Minecraft enchanting setup is by far the most common way to procure enchantments. These tables take experience and lapis lazuli and convert them into any of the game's non-treasure enchantments. There are only seven enchantments that are considered treasure enchantments, listed below.

- Curse of Binding
- Curse of Vanishing
- Frost Walker
- Mending
- Soul Speed
- Swift Sneak
- Wind Burst
Villager trading
Minecraft villager trading is inarguably one of the most powerful systems in the game. It gives players access to nearly unlimited amounts of powerful items, resources, and enchanted books. There are only three enchantments in the entire game — soul speed, swift sneak, and wind burst — that remain unobtainable through villager trading, which is what makes it so powerful.
Piglin bartering
Piglin bartering is one of the two ways to gain access to the soul speed Minecraft enchantment. The soul speed enchantment allows players to move faster across soul sand and soil. At the maximum level, soul speed III, the enchantment boosts movement speed on these blocks by 61.5%.
To barter with piglins, all players need to do is throw gold ingots on the ground near them. They will then see the gold on the ground, pick it up, and give players an item in return. This item has a 1.09% chance of being a soul speed-enchanted book and a 1.74% chance of being a set of iron boots with the enchantment on them.
Chest loot
Level 30 enchanted books
By far the best enchanted books to find as structure loot are level 30 enchanted books. These books use the same probabilities as a level 30 enchant, can apply any enchantments other than wind burst, swift sneak, and soul speed, and do not have a reduced chance at multiple enchantments. There are only two structures in the game with a chance of containing these books, found below.
Regular enchanted books
Regular enchanted books are by far the most common to find as structure chest loot. These books have a chance to contain any enchantments, except for soul speed, wind burst, and swift sneak, at any level. A full list of structures where players can find these books and the chance of locating one can be found below.
Soul speed books
As mentioned previously, the soul speed enchantment can be obtained in two ways. While piglin bartering is the first, chest loot is the second. Dangerous Minecraft bastions rarely found in the Nether have an 11.2% chance of containing an enchanted book with a random level of soul speed.
Trial chamber loot
Minecraft's new trial chambers are amazing sources of powerful enchanted books. Regular vaults have a chance to drop two different books. The first is enchanted with a random level of mending, riptide, loyalty, channeling, or impaling. The second enchanted book can have the sharpness, bane of arthropods, efficiency, fortune, silk touch, or feather-falling effects.
That's not all, however, as ominous Minecraft vaults can also drop enchanted books. The first of these books can have knockback, punch, smite, looting, or multishot. The other two books contain the new mace enchantments. One of them will have a random level of breach or density, and the other will contain a random level of wind burst. This is the only way to get the wind burst enchantment.
Fishing treasure
Another popular way to get enchanted books is through fishing. Powerful Minecraft fishing rods can drag up treasure items with relatively high frequency. These books can have any enchantments on them other than swift sneak, soul speed, and wind burst. Other than that restriction, they work like a normal 30 enchantment from the table, but with no reduced chance for multiple effects.
Mob drops
Interestingly, Bedrock players have an exclusive way to gather enchanted books. Vindicators and pillagers killed in Minecraft raids have a small chance to drop a random level 30 enchanted book. Similar to treasure books, this can include treasure enchantments.
