• Enchantment tables in Minecraft are made by combining diamonds, obsidian, lapis lazuli, and a book.
• Enchantment tables give your gear magical buffs, such as increased durability.
• Enchanted weapons and armor are some of the best gear in all of Minecraft.

For as simple as Minecraft seems when you first start — punch a tree, craft, repeat — you'll eventually reach a point when things get more complicated, and more fantastical.

Think magic portals, deadly dragons, glowing pyramids, and more.

You even have the power to use magic yourself through the enchantment table item (also known as the "enchanting" table). The enchantment table can enhance your weapons, armor, and other gear with magical upgrades.

For instance, some spells make your tools work faster and last longer, while others will protect you.

Here's what you'll need to make an enchantment table, and how to get the most out of it.
