The Enchantment Table is used to enchant certain items using Experience Points. Items that can be enchanted include: Swords, Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, Bows, and Armor. Enchantment tables alone typically have upgrades ranging from two to seven experience levels. If within a certain range, the book on the table will open and flip through a several pages. If you move while within this proximity, the book will turn to face you directly.

You can increase the chance of getting a better enchantment by placing bookshelves around the table. Only Bookshelves that are two blocks away will add enchantments. When placed correctly, an animation of floating symbols moving into the book entity will occur. The text is written in the Standard Galactic Alphabet. The ideal position of Bookshelves is a square of 30 placed in a 5x5-block outline, with the Enchantment Table at the center, 15 Bookshelves on the bottom, and 15 on top.
