Frequently Asked Questions

How many enchantments are in Minecraft 1.21.4?

Vanilla 1.21.4 has around 40+ enchantments, including new additions like Density, Breach, and Wind Burst introduced with the Mace in 1.21. Each is indexed on MinecraftBible with max level and cost formula.

What's the max enchantment level and how much XP does it cost?

Most enchantments cap at level 3 or 5; a few like Efficiency reach level 5. XP cost per level scales linearly and MinecraftBible shows the exact min and max cost formula per enchantment so you can plan enchanting-table setups.

Which enchantments are treasure-only?

Frost Walker, Mending, Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Curse of Vanishing / Curse of Binding are treasure-only — obtainable from loot chests, fishing, or villager trades rather than the enchanting table. Each is flagged on its detail page.

Can I combine any two enchantments?

No. Sharpness conflicts with Smite and Bane of Arthropods; Fortune conflicts with Silk Touch; Multishot conflicts with Piercing. Every enchantment page lists its exclusive conflicts so you can plan compatible builds.

How do I get the best gear setup?

For armor: Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending, plus role-specific enchants (Feather Falling, Aqua Affinity). For weapons: Sharpness V, Unbreaking, Mending, Sweeping Edge III (sword) or Power V (bow). See individual gear item pages for full recommended builds.
