How to Apply Bow Enchantments to a Crossbow

Unlocking Bow Enchants for Crossbows

Crossbow Enchants allows bow-exclusive enchantments to be applied directly to crossbows. This expands your crossbow's combat capabilities beyond the standard vanilla enchantment pool.

To prepare, gather:

• A standard or already enchanted crossbow
• An enchanted book containing a bow-exclusive enchantment
• An anvil and enough experience levels to cover the repair cost

Forging on the Anvil

1. Open your anvil's menu.

2. Put your crossbow in the left-hand input slot.

3. Put the bow-exclusive enchanted book into the center slot.

4. Check the enchantment preview and level cost in the anvil interface.

5. Click the resulting crossbow in the right-hand slot to finalize the transfer and deduct the required experience.

You can continue to combine additional bow enchantments or standard crossbow enchantments onto the same weapon using the anvil. This lets you tailor your crossbow to specific combat scenarios without being restricted to the default crossbow-only options.
