The Enchanting ProcessEdit

In order to enchant, you will need an Enchantment Table , several Experience Points, and the item you wish to enchant. You might also like to have 15 Bookshelves.

First you need to set up your Enchanting area. You do this by placing the Enchantment Table and placing a square of bookcases around it. In order for the Enchantment Table to work properly, you must place the bookcases 1 block away from all sides of the Enchantment Table. Once this is done you can open the Enchantment Table by right clicking it and then place your item in it. When you place the item you want to enchant into the table, you will receive 3 enchanting options with varying levels. If you have 30 levels of Experience or more then you choose any one of those levels.

There is no way to know exactly what you will get when you enchant. If you choose a lower level you will not recieve a really valuble enchantment and if you choose a higher level, it is not guarenteed that you will get a great enchantment but it is more likely.
