To achieve the highest level of enchantments (level 30) on an enchanting table in Minecraft, you need to place 15 bookshelves around the table. These bookshelves must be arranged with exactly one block of air between them and the enchanting table, typically in a 5x5 square layout with the enchanting table in the center. The bookshelves should be placed at the same height or one block higher than the enchanting table, and no blocks should be between the bookshelves and the table to ensure the enchantments work properly
. Some key details about the setup:
- The bookshelves must be placed exactly 1 block away from the enchanting table.
- The arrangement usually involves placing bookshelves on three sides of the table, leaving corners empty or open for access.
- Although you can place up to 24 bookshelves around the table, only 15 are needed to unlock the maximum enchantment level 30. Adding more than 15 does not increase the enchantment level cap but may influence enchantment variety slightly
In summary, 15 bookshelves correctly positioned around the enchanting table are required for max-level enchantments.
