How to Check Enchantment Conflicts Before Using an Anvil

Certain enchantments cannot exist together on the same item. Checking conflicts ahead of time keeps you from gathering enchanted books that cannot be combined on a single weapon or armor piece.

Viewing the Exclusions List

1. Open your game inventory to access the EMI interface.

2. Locate the enchantment you plan to apply—such as Sharpness, Smite, or Protection—and click on it.

3. Look at the row of buttons along the bottom of the enchantment interface and select the Exclusions tab.

The Exclusions screen displays a complete list of every enchantment that conflicts with the one you currently have selected.

Planning Compatible Gear Combinations

Whenever you are combining multiple enchanted books onto high-tier gear, check each book's Exclusions tab first:

  • Click your primary enchantment in EMI and switch to Exclusions to see what it blocks.
  • If another enchantment you wanted appears in that conflict list, you will need to choose one for your current item or craft a separate piece of gear for the incompatible enchantment.
  • Switch back to the Valid Items button at the bottom of the screen and right click your gear piece if you want to look for non-conflicting alternatives to fill out the item.
