# Enchanted Books

[Enchanted books](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchanted_Book) are sold by librarians and can be used at an [enchanting table](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchanting_table) to enchant various items such as armor, tools, and weapons. Each enchanted book has one of the enchantments listed below. Some enchantments also have an enchantment level, indicated as a [roman numeral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals), with higher levels corresponding to more powerful effects for the enchantment.

### Efficiency

[Efficiency](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Efficiency) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that increases the player's [mining](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Breaking) speed. [Tools](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tool) of any material except stone or diamond can receive up to Efficiency V. Stone and diamond tools can receive up to level IV.

### Thorns

[Thorns](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Thorns) is an [armor](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Armor) [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that causes attackers to be damaged when they deal damage to the wearer of the armor. Thorns III cannot be directly obtained using an [enchanting table](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchanting_table), but it can be obtained by using an anvil to combine two Thorns II enchantments, by [trading](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Trading#Librarian) with villagers, or by finding an item enchanted with it from a loot chest.

### Unbreaking

[Unbreaking](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Unbreaking) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that gives a chance for an item to avoid [durability](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Durability) reduction when it is used, effectively increasing the item's durability. Items can be enchanted up to Unbreaking III.

### Frost Walker

[Frost Walker](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Frost_Walker) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) to [boots](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Boots) that creates [frosted ice](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Frosted_ice) blocks when walking over water, and causes the wearer to be immune to damage from certain blocks such as [campfires](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Campfire) and [magma blocks](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Magma_block). Boots can be enchanted up to Frost Walker II.

### Mending

[Mending](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mending) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that restores [durability](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Durability) of an item using [experience](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Experience). This occurs when you collect experience. If your experience level does not increase when you collect experience orbs it is most likely because you are wearing armor or wielding a weapon with this enchantment.

### Curse of Binding

[Curse of Binding](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Curse_of_Binding) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that prevents the removal of a cursed [item](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Item) from its armor slot.

### Curse of Vanishing

[Curse of Vanishing](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Curse_of_Vanishing) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) for items that causes the item to disappear upon death.

### Soul Speed

[Soul Speed](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_Speed) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that can be applied on [boots](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Boots) and allows the player to walk more quickly on [soul sand](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_sand) and [soul soil](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Soul_soil). Boots can be enchanted up to Soul Speed III.

### Swift Sneak

[Swift Sneak](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Swift_Sneak) is a non-renewable [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) that can be applied to [leggings](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Leggings) and allows the player to walk more quickly while [sneaking](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Sneaking). Leggings can be enchanted up to Swift Sneak III.

### Wind Burst

[Wind Burst](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wind_Burst) is an [enchantment](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Enchantment) exclusively for the [mace](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mace) that creates a powerful upward [knockback](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Knockback) effect upon executing a [smash attack](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Smash_attack), essentially acting as a more powerful [wind charge](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wind_charge). Unlike wind charges, Wind Burst does not negate fall damage. It is the only mace-exclusive enchantment that cannot be obtained through an enchanting table or villager.
