You need 15 bookshelves placed around the enchanting table to reach the maximum enchantment level of 30 in Minecraft. These bookshelves must be positioned exactly one block away from the enchanting table, arranged in a 5x5 square with the table at the center and a one-block gap around it, leaving the corners empty or open for access
. Key details for the setup:
- Bookshelves should be placed 1 block away horizontally from the enchanting table.
- They can be on the same level as the table or one block higher.
- A total of 15 bookshelves is the required number; adding more than 15 does not increase the maximum enchantment level.
- The 15 bookshelves can be arranged in various configurations within the 5x5 area around the table, including stacking some bookshelves two blocks high
This setup unlocks the highest enchantment tiers available from the table, allowing you to enchant items at level 30.
Summary:
- Number of bookshelves: 15
- Placement: One block away from the enchanting table, in a 5x5 square with a 1-block gap
- Height: Same level or one block above the enchanting table
- Effect: Unlocks max enchantment level 30
This is the standard and most efficient way to maximize your enchanting table's potential in Minecraft
