paulsoaresjr – Minecraft Tutorials – E39 Enchanting Basics (Survive and Thrive II)

Hello welcome to my minecraft tutorial this is episode number 39 in my how to survive and thrive series and in today’s episode we are going to do some enchanting yes finally tower of power is about ninety seven point eight percent complete but that’s good enough to move in we’re

Going to craft an enchantment table put it up here in a little library in the second floor and then we can start doing some magic enchanting of our armor weapons and tools let’s get started now I have collected everything we’re going to need for this exercise so if you’re

Following along you should have the stuff in your inventory if you’ve downloaded this map if not you’re going to need four pieces of obsidian you will need at least two diamonds we’re going to need some paper and some wood so I’ve collected a bunch of sugarcane and just

Going to convert that down right now into paper to make we’re gonna use that for bookshelves actually we’re only going to need one book for the actual enchantment table but we’re going to put bookshelves around it to to kind of empower it with with great magical mystical energies all right well let’s

First make the enchantment table so the four pieces of obsidian will be arranged like that in the crafting table oh wait we need a book first all right let’s not do that let’s make the book first and we’re going to need some paper for that I’m just gonna convert a whole bunch of

This down right now let’s say more more more more MORE that out of two all right good so now we’re going to make some books and to make books as we have done this in the past I’m pretty sure come on play fair all right there we go

That ought to do let’s get back to that enchantment table so for City and arrange like so two diamonds on the side and a little bouquet on top but that’s an enchantment table and you do have to you have to do that sound effect right

There mm and then you can take it out put it in your hand and we don’t do anything with that yet though let’s just stick that here in the inventory we are also going to make some things to enchant so well first let’s make the bookshelves let’s make why don’t we make

Let’s make four bookshelves do I have enough probably not no let’s make three bookshelves and call it a day I’m gonna need one more stinking book so why don’t we just do that quickly here huh no I did so many but that’s okay just in case one gets queued up or

Something from those all right so there we go that’s a bookshelf for bookshelves should do now let’s we’re gonna need to craft we’re gonna need crafted new crafted items in order to to get the most out of our enchantments I don’t want to use I don’t want to enchant

Things that are kind of degraded here obviously my armors been beat up it’s seen better days so I will enchant the diamond pickaxe that’s still in pretty good shape I don’t want to use my diamond dump for that but what I will make is a new diamond sword this is

Going to be my enchanted sword rather than wasting Chapman on iron which just doesn’t have the same durability obviously put you there we’re going to enchant that and we will enchant that I’m not going to enchant you I won’t chant those I do want to make a new bow

I’m going to use one enchantment on a bow and I’ll explain how the enchantments work here in a minute but I want a brand new bow for the so you can go there we will enchant that bow and chant and chant and chant and let’s make a new breastplate I grabbed

All my iron that I had in the house down that cozy cottage I’m gonna make a whole new set of iron armor actually to go with my my enchanted breastplate I think I will enchant the breastplate okay so now we can take this stuff off and put

On the new pants the new booties the new helmet and we will enchant that so we’re gonna keep that off for the time being and all this rusty cruddy stuff can go here for now don’t need to carry that around with me okay I think we’re good

The diamonds can go in here from now okay let’s let’s let’s head upstairs and make sure I have everything we need yeah yeah let’s go second floor it is by the way I’ve made some modifications here to the Tower of Power and I wanted to do that off camera because it was the

Very time consuming and I’ve kind of run out of so I’ve run out of brick here because there was a few more things I wanted to do but I did make this using netherrack it’s kind of interesting and I put a fence here because my couch just

Kept falling off I’m gonna block that off actually I just need more brick I have to go back to the nether okey-dokey and I’m gonna make these iron bars I don’t think I’ve shown how to make iron bars yet so I’m gonna leave that for another day so this will be my library

And what we’re gonna do is just put the we’re gonna put the enchantment table down right here now we’re gonna place it down facing this way I’m gonna be able to see it out this window hopefully oh it’s raining came inside just in time and that’s pretty much it you place it

Down right click there it is and this little book opens up when you’re near it it’s magical book okay magic doesn’t matter how you face it it’ll follow you about but that’s how you place it down now to use this guy you just right click and this

Is what you see we’ve got this little slot here is where we will put things we wish to enchant and you just drop it in there and then these three slots here will populate with these weird letters these are runes and oddly enough these runes are from what is called the

Standard galactic alphabet SGA and apparently that’s from an old game called Commander Keen this is all on the wiki by the way and you can translate these you can map these these symbols to real letters and you’ll get words so there I think it’s something between up

To five words will be shown it’s all randomly selected they don’t really mean anything but they’re all just jumbled together it doesn’t really make any difference the letters here what you really want to be concerned with is the number in green before we do any enchanting let’s talk about that a

Little bit if you recall from an earlier episode I have I think we talked about experience levels so every time you kill something if you look right above where my slot is down there the green 24 essentially that’s where you’re that’s your experience level as you kill stuff

Little green bar beneath that will fill so you get a number of those little green balls that you pick up and that adds to your experience level so now what we do here when we enchant is we spend those experience levels on enchanting things so when we now when I

Click on one of these it’s going to enchant my bow and it’s going to reduce my my 24 here my experience level by that number so this is really the cost of this particular of these particular enchantments so there’s a couple of schools of thought here we could either

Try to get the highest highest enchantment we want we can possibly get on one item to save them all up you just accumulated levels and then we get a really powerful enchantment because what happens here is the higher the cost the higher the power or power of the enchantment it’s typically

A Roman numeral added to the actual enchantment type and I’ll show you this in a minute here I just want to explain the basics the power can be anywhere from level 1 to level 5 and the more expensive your enchantment is the more powerful it will be as well in turn now

A regular old just one enchantment table on the floor all by itself is only going to ever go up to level 5 here cost of five five so you can just pick these items up and drop them back down if you don’t like what you see if you want to

Try to get higher enchantments right now with this level with the enchantment table buy on the ground by itself it’ll never be higher than five but there is a way to increase the power of the enchantments and that is with bookshelves so what we can do is put

Bookshelves on the side of this thing I will pull us put one right here and right here and you can essentially surround it Hess that has to be a space between the enchantment table and the bookshelf and as you can see this little ruins popping off here floating into the

Enchantment table its absorbing the knowledge from these books allegedly so it is actually now empowering this enchantment table these bookshelves so now when I go back here I drop this and we should get higher level enchantments so now we have an eighth whereas before we could only get a maximum of up to

Five so these two bookshelves are empowering and offering higher level and chapman’s the more bookshelves you put around more powerful your enchantments will become yeah that was bad okay well I didn’t mean to put it there and when you break down a bookshelf you get books

Back you don’t get the Shelf but that’s okay so three again it has to be a space and you can go up to so the maximum is like 30 bookshelves I think all right so let’s try this but I’m not gonna it doesn’t matter for me because right now

I only have 24 levels to spend and I’m gonna divvy that up among four different items so what I’m going to do I could do four at six level six or but I think what I want to do is try to get a higher power enchantment than

I’m gonna do I think I may put a seven or eight on my sword all right let’s let’s just do this right now let’s do the diamond let’s do the bow first this one’s gonna be low I’m just gonna do a five on this one so all

You have to do to enchant that item is click on one of these and I’m gonna click on five and as you can see here it now gets a little glow to it oh and then you can put it in your hand here and

It’s power one so my bow now has a power one power the enchantment power is extra damage so when I fire this at creatures it’s going to do a little bit of extra damage that’s not the one I wanted it’s nice but the one you really want for this is

Called infinity I think or infinite something but it shoots in fitting in in infinite arrows say that a thousand times fast so it never runs out of ammo it’s like you’re in creative mode just keep firing away that’s the that’s the one I really want to get eventually so

Now the power one means this is the lowest-level enchantment I can get there’s also a power to a power three and I’m not sure if it goes to power five not all of the enchantments actually go all the way to five and again you’ll have to go to the wiki I’ll

Put a link in the description of the video to the wiki page that will show you all of the different enchantments what can be enchanted how high they go what they do etc I’m not going to cover all that now this is really just for basic enchanting so there we have a bow

Now I have my enchanted bow that’s nice power one it’s better than nothing and I’m now going to do I’m going to put let’s do a five on this guy – well no no five on this one let’s see so what I do there at five that’ll be ten and then

I’ll do a seven and a seven yeah let’s do that so let’s do a five on my iron chestplate the only things you can actually enchant our weapons three different tools these tools right here you can’t do you can’t enchant your hoe you can and and cannot enchant your shears shovel

Axe and pickaxe and obviously weapons and any type of armor all right I’m gonna do a five on my chest plate oh nice projectile protection level two so that’s a little bit stronger this one will protect me from projectile so arrows not sure if that helps against explosions explosions is probably a

Different type of damage you’ll have to look that up in the wiki but when arrows are when Skelly shoot at me this will absorb more damage than normal armor and it’s multiplied it’s that the two there means it’ll actually absorb more than the one so that’s not too Chevy alright that’s pretty cool

Let’s try that’s ten so now I have a fourteen left I’m going to do let’s do a seven here for my diamond pickaxe yeah very nice this one got to hold up I really need to put doors in my Tower of Power don’t I okay somebody out there

Let’s just do this for the time being okay alright I’ll turn up at doors for next time this one got to two enchantments efficiency one in unbreaking that oh man I couldn’t ask for better at that level as you can see here I’ve got seven left so for seven to get two enchantments

Like that it’s pretty darn sweet so efficiency one unbreaking one efficiency means this is going to work faster now I’ll be able to mine I believe it’s about 10% faster maybe a little more I’m not sure I think it starts at 10% and then it goes up from there and then

Unbreaking means that every time I use this you know normally when you mine something it’ll degrade every single time a certain amount with unbreaking there is a chance that this will not degrade when it’s being used so not only is this diamond and it’s gonna last a heck of a

Lot longer than anything else it’s also unbreaking now sweet okay now for the beginning I’m gonna get a seven here and I spent all of my experience and as you can see if I can’t afford it it will be it’ll be depressed or pressed in rather so that way I can’t choose it

Oh my gosh are you kidding me you dirty dog I’m gonna go use my power of my bow of power here where did he shoot me from shoot me from the hole I left on my stairs I’m shopping from there all right enough of you hold on buddy I will kill

You momentarily all right there’s the seven and let’s do it again these are all random it doesn’t really matter what the letters are you can certainly go ahead and decipher them if you wish but it doesn’t make any difference bane of arthropods that’s I was hoping

For a smite or even just uh I think it’s called sharpness which damages everything this is nice it’ll really this is going to be extra damage against spiders and silverfish la-de-da not too crazy about that but you got to take together the bat I suppose so we have

Projectile production to here and we have be enough arthropods power one and I’m very excited about that one though so I’m gonna start using my diamond pick more often I just need to use it all right let’s go try my new bow of power here on this skeleton

Closes II though you might have to just hit him with my there the sword of smiting ah I guess I should hit him does extra damage against Undead that would have been nice too but just stand there I’m gonna think about that two shots all right point-blank nice job

Sam so that’s the basics of enchanting again I will put a link in the description if you want to read more about what you can enchant and how much it costs and how you can get these higher when you put it enough of these around these bookshelves I think the

Maximum champion goes up to something like 50 and you can only enchant things one time and if you repair something enchanted it will lose the enchantment so don’t do that and that’s pretty much it now when I strike something with my sword I demonstrate on my doggy come on yes out thank you

You’ll get some little blue sparkles little blue sparkles let’s go kill somebody which means it is imbued with magical energies come here you come on over here I have projects out protection huh huh so unfortunately we didn’t get to see it there but trust me it does

Which means that you’re striking it with magical energies and that is enchanting people I hope you enjoyed I’m going to cut out now and head back to the nether and finish up this tower it’s driving me crazy I’m sure I’m not the only one all right

Yeah I’m back up to level one we so yeah I’m gonna go and just gonna go slaughter a bunch of things down on the nether get some more experience we’ll come back and do some more enchanting in the next episode I’m not sure what we’re gonna do potentially we’ll start doing some

Brewing some basic brewing I’m not really sure but in the comments what you guys want to see brewing or more adventure wouldn’t mind going back to the nether and gonna have to go to the nether to collect some more things we still need nether we needed wart

Now the wart there’s one of the ingredients for potion making and we’ll take it from there alright hope you enjoyed and if you did I would really appreciate a thumbs up it definitely helps my channel and I can’t thank you enough for that so I will see you next

Time bye bye hi I’m back sorry I forgot to mention one little thing here just a tip in the event you let’s say you only have a few levels to spend but you have a lot of bookshelves around which means that every time you put something in

Here you’re going to be offered most likely very high level high cost enchantments so the way to shut these guys off is just put a torch in front of the bookshelves like that and it basically just turns them off so they’re not streaming their knowledge into the enchantment table and then you’ll just

Get your basic enchantments like that see right now it’s only up to one to five because right now the enchantment table does not see these bookshelves essentially so there’s a little tidbit for you and once again I hope you enjoy and we’ll see you next time bye bye
