How to Check Villager Tradeability and Max Enchantment Levels

Before spending emeralds rerolling villager trades or combining books on an anvil, you can verify an enchantment's exact rules directly from your inventory.

Opening the Enchantment Summary

1. Open your inventory screen so the EMI panel is visible on the side.

2. Browse or search the EMI item list for the enchantment you want to check, such as Mending, Fortune, or Soul Speed.

3. Click on the enchantment in EMI to open its detailed information screen.

4. If you are viewing another page, use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the window to return to the basic summary info screen.

Checking Tradeability and Level Caps

Once on the summary screen, look over the displayed stats to plan your progression:

• Villager Tradeability: Check whether villagers can actually offer the enchantment in trades. Knowing this upfront prevents you from breaking and replacing lecterns for enchantments that cannot be traded.
• Maximum Level: Confirm the highest level the enchantment can reach so you know how many lower-tier books you need to combine on an anvil, and when an enchantment only has a single level.
• Curse Status: Verify right away whether an unfamiliar enchantment acts as a curse before you permanently bind it to valuable gear.
