Enchantment Table Recipe

All you need is four obsidian, a book, and two diamonds to craft an enchantment table in Minecraft.

Diamonds are only found underground because they’re rare ores. Make sure to check on 5-12 layers for blue light ore. Search until you find a tough grey block, then the above side counts up to 5-12 blocks. You can mine the diamonds with iron or netherite pickaxe.

Use the staircase to avoid pits; never try to dig down straight.
For the enchantment table, you will need two diamonds with one pickaxe diamond to dig obsidian.
To avoid lava, stay at layers 11 and 12.

2. Create Obsidian

When flowing water smacks into lava, a dark kind of black hole appears that is called obsidian. Make it by yourself using buckets out of 3 irons. With the help of one bucket, take lava and pour it into the four-block hole. Now you have to pour the water from a level above enough to fit onto the lava, which makes the lava obsidian.

3. Mine Four Obsidian

Use a netherite pickaxe or diamond to mine obsidian blocks that will drop crafting material.

You can’t choose the result as it is mainly based on your experience level, the enchanting item, and the enchantment seed. Options can be a fudge by reducing the number of bookshelves attached to the table. However, it will not impact possibilities.
