How to PROPERLY Enchant With Anvil in Minecraft 1.21 | Avoid "Too Expensive" | Sword, Pickaxe, Bow..

[@TheAetherGamer]

For infinity bows, it is really best to try to use the enchantment table for the most part. That way you maximize the number of times you can repair the bow

[@saganvanni-phillips5059]

Why not just fish up a new bow?

[@Star100-b9k]

Bro

[@Mshangao]

Just farm a lot of exp and enchant double chest of bows, then add books and easy

[@relax_4u]

​@@saganvanni-phillips5059 this probably cheaper bro actually...

[@Albastar_OP]

Stop your "gued byeeeee" So CRINGY 😊😊

[@DGR7302]

This mechanic can get so complicated, glad to see someone explain it simply and not get into so many numbers. Other people make it sound so complex but this just proves it isn’t as bad as they make it seem lol.

[@Fuzzycatfur]

Honestly, just removing this "feature" would be a HUGE positive bullet point in ANY given update, even The Mild Update would've had more positive reception is annoying "features" like "Too Expensive" were done away with.

[@TheAetherGamer]

Yea i agree its super annoying

[@exiledkenkaneki701]

It's really not that deep... Like you said it's expensive, why not do it this way to conserve xp literally and add customization to your books.. It's makes more sense

[@trumediamix1]

So, instead of (A+B+C+D+E) + F = "F" ... You're basically ((A+B) + (C+D) + (E+F)) to get "F" all the same, but without a risk of chipping the anvil..! I can't help but wonder how come I never thought up of this, tbh! This is genius, imo!

[@TheAetherGamer]

Thanks

[@coc235]

How would it prevent the anvil from chipping though? You will need to use the same number of times.

[@trumediamix1]

@@coc235 I typically don't open the Minecraft Wiki unless I absolutely need it (mostly because I prefer learning on my own whenever applicable). From what I know about how Anvils work, so far; the reason you'd want to apply this is to allow yourself to, theoretically speaking, DIY the best possible tools and armor, regardless of what your Enchantment Table's RNG gives you. In other words: *_"ENCHANT SMARTER, NOT HARDER!"_*

[@trumediamix1]

@@coc235 _(Forgot to mention in my initial reply-comment, however...)_ Yes, your Anvil is still at risk of chipping due to small costs adding up over time, but we never made Anvils that would last forever in the first place - so - to the Void with it! Lmao.

All the little complexities and subtleties can seem like a lot. But they also are the kind of thing that set players apart and compound the value of teaming up. I love that I’ve been playing Minecraft on and off for 6-7 years now and I van still learn new things.

I've been playing Minecraft for many years and bc we dupe on anarchy servers, I never learned this trick of combining books. Thanks! Much appreciated!! ❤❤❤

[@rhen999]

brilliant idea, i never think about to combine another enchantment book with the other before

[@JovialSkunk]

We added the 'Too Expensive! Fix' to our SMP server. It just fixed the Too Expensive! bug and allows you to continue enchanting even if it costs more than 39. So so much better.

[@rafgik]

I’ve experienced the “too expensive” multiple times while playing survival mode, thanks for this vid now I know what I must do.

[@super_incapable]

i’ve been advocating for “too expensive” to be removed since it happened to me the first time in 1.8 and when i creative mode tested it there’s no level cap! in my current survival world i have a gold farm that can get me to level 100 in like 30 minutes of afk, so very clearly it is NOT too expensive and many hardcore players have hundreds of levels in their worlds as well. it’s just an outdated mechanic at this point and it’s very tedious to deal with

[@DarkReaper2597]

I kinda knew this ... but this tutorial helped clear up some things I was curious about while enchanting. thanks btw

[@PlumbCarton5607]

Imho doing the enchant table first then add (or replace) enchantments via books is better, less expensive but more annoying if you get bad luck.

I heard the level of the enchantment matters so you gotta have to balance the level of enchantments to both the book and the item.

[@Hayden-fu1xf]

Hello, this is a great video but I have a question. I am new to Minecraft and don’t really know how to get enchanted books so can you please tell me how to get them.

[@TheAetherGamer]

You can get them from trading with librarian villagers, they will sell you enchanted books. If you want to find out more about villagers I have a villager trading guide for beginners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGTTgoxro6-djpo

[@Hayden-fu1xf]

@@TheAetherGamer ok thanks for the gelp

[@Valerius123]

It's not complicated. You want to keep the number of combinations to the lowest per item. Say we have 5 enchantment books named A, B, C, D, E and we want to put them on the weapon W (A + B) = Q (1 combination) (C + D) = R (1 combination) (Q + E) = X (2 combinations) (W + R) = Y (2 combinations) (Y + X) = Z (3 combinations) Z is would be your new fully enchanted weapon. You only got up to a combo count of 3. If you just simply put the 5 enchantments straight onto the weapon you'd have hit a combo count of 5 dramatically increasing the experience point cost. There are some optimizations that can be done beyond this but if you follow this general rule of thumb you'll be completely good and can fully enchant swords etc no problem.

[@TheAetherGamer]

This is a method a lot of people recommend, but I've tried it and you spend more xp than you need. It's much better to combine books and have 2 enchantments per book, then just add all of those books to your weapon. Simpler to explain for viewers as well.

[@Valerius123]

@@TheAetherGamer Yeah. That's more or less what I tried to say but what I tried (and apparently failed) to do is show in a general sense why.

[@juleo1000]

This method is better for bow with infinity so you can fix it more times later

[@killamackay]

You show combining all the available enchantments for an item over multiple books, but said just before to enchantment what you can on the item 1st. So which is it? Use the table 1st (to get half for example) and books for the rest. Or just use books

[@infiel_irvo5148]

Thanks for the great video!

[@TheAetherGamer]

np :D

[@eelsonwheels8187]

Also you should never combine two Protection 3 for example, that's gonna cost much more XP at the end. In this case get a Protection 4 from the get-go!

[@FryingMike]

Nice

[@Blayzzikan3]

I need help, the anvils won’t even let me put 2 enchantments on one item, neither is the enchantment table even though I have lapris and a bunch of experience I’m on bedrock

[@reluuu1785]

*What’s the best way of repairing a tool?* For example, I’ve got a pickaxe with enchantments that are really valuable to me, and I used to repair it using an anvil. I was basically placing the pickaxe and iron ingots to repair it. But it became really really expensive to repair. What should I do in this case, because I don’t want to lose the pickaxe… Should I just craft another anvil? In this specific case I would spend too much iron, lol.

[@TheAetherGamer]

My best advice would be to add the mending enchantment. With it the pickaxe repairs itself when you collect xp, so you'll never have to repair it manually again. Crafting another anvil won't help, and if you've already repaired the pickaxe multiple times, 1 or 2 more repairs will probably lead to too expensive

[@sweettea735]

1. You could enchant your gear normally with the table, but this can increase the chances of enchantments you don’t like 2. When using an anvil, combine books (normal enchants + special enchants) this will make it cheaper to put them all on one piece of gear 3. Don’t have more than 2 enchants on a book That’s pretty much it summarised.

If I'm on a server, and I put all the enchants for 1 item onto 1 book, will it be 'too expensive' for another player to put the book on an item?

[@TheAetherGamer]

Yes

[@arqamkhan19]

I always Used it like this

[@saladmashups1310]

How do you combine strong level enchantments that take up only 1 level? I’ve enchanted books but they rarely get something like Power V in level 1, which implies I need to keep combining the weaker enchant levels together to get one level of an enchantment I want, *and making the whole thing expensive.* Edit:seems the solution is to get Librarian Villagers, who can give high level enchantments on their own. Trap an unemployed villager and place a lectern next to it to convert it, and keep breaking and re-placing it until you get the enchantment you want. Then purchase the book to use as the guide describes.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

NO- First thing is to unlock the best TRADES using villager trading, and get all your best book enchants from TRADES, never spend levels on random ass enchantment station! IDK why MC even still has enchantment tables when trading is so broken. I literally have not had one in my last three server worlds. I practically had diamond wears before iron tools!

[@TheAetherGamer]

I agree but I just gave the enchantment table as some advice to avoid too expensive, as through trading you still have to use the anvil to add enchantments

[@sentheaS]

I use villager rebalance because I find the normal system boring. I use the enchantment table first always and it’s worked pretty great for me.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

@@TheAetherGamer I guess it is a matter of steps for goals in game- one, basic breeder iron farm, use iron to unlock blacksmith trades, use them to generate emeralds to unlock everything else in two days. Not as large an investment as you think. Once there nothing else is needed for enchanting.

[@antoinederoose499]

I find it boring to play like that, so I only do the trading hall in post game after defeating the dragon. I play « normally » before that, by exploring, mining, building my first house,, without huge farms and trading halls.

[@dennisthemenace3695]

Does combining low level books to make a high level one also increase its anvil level debt? because I had a whole bunch of low level sharpness books and made one level 5 book. But when I put it on my sword everything else became too expensive. So is it worthless to combine books?

Yea i would recommend just getting sharpness 5 itself from villagers, combining books to make the max book has more anvil uses
