Major Upgrade Coming to Minecraft’s Enchantment System
In the world of Minecraft, players have the ability to enhance their gear—including weapons, armor, and tools—through a feature known as enchantments. These special upgrades can be applied using two primary methods: enchanting tables and enchanted books. Each method presents its own unique way of bestowing enchantments, but both share a common flaw that has persisted since the game’s inception.
The enchantment system, although functional, remains largely unchanged, leading to frustration among players attempting to find specific enchantments. This calls into question whether the current system is effective and highlights the need for Mojang to consider potential improvements.
Reasons for a Significant Overhaul of Minecraft’s Enchantment System
The Random Nature of the Enchantment Table
The enchanting table’s randomness often leads to unwanted results (Image via Mojang Studios)When players first craft an enchanting table, it serves as a gateway to imbuing their gear with basic enhancements. By combining their equipment with lapis lazuli, players can access a selection of enchantments. However, the outcome is dictated by a random number generator (RNG), which selects potential enchantments arbitrarily. While the XP level and the quantity of lapis lazuli determine how many enchantments can be applied, the specific enchantments themselves remain completely unpredictable.
This randomness can be beneficial early on, as many enchantments provide helpful buffs that contribute to survival. However, seasoned players often bypass the enchantment table in favor of seeking enchanted books from librarian villagers. Unfortunately, even this alternative can be time-consuming.
The Challenges of Trading with Librarian Villagers

These villagers provide their first enchanted book trade, making them highly desirable. However, a player’s chance of obtaining the specific enchantment they want can be slim.
To manipulate the trade list, players often resort to a method discovered by the community: breaking and replacing the lectern, which serves as the librarian’s job site block. This technique causes the librarian to lose their job and then re-employs them, altering their available trades. While this method allows players to potentially access the desired enchantments, it remains a cumbersome and random process.
By refining the enchantment system, Mojang could simplify the grind for specific resources, thus allowing players to pursue precise enchantments without relying on the unpredictable RNG mechanics.
