How to Read Enchantment Descriptions and Curse Warnings in EMI

Vanilla Minecraft only shows an enchantment's name and level on books and gear, leaving out what the effect actually does. EMI Enchanting adds readable descriptions and rule summaries right inside your inventory.

Looking Up Enchantment Effects

1. Open your inventory so the EMI viewer appears.

2. Find the enchanted book you want to learn about—such as Luck of the Sea, Punch, or Knockback—in the EMI panel.

3. Click on the enchantment to open its information screen.

Here you can read the full enchantment description presented in the standard format, explaining how the enchantment behaves in gameplay. Alongside the description, the basic summary info tells you its maximum level, whether villagers can trade it, and whether it is classified as a curse.

Navigating All Enchantment Tabs

Every enchantment screen uses a row of buttons at the bottom of the interface so you can inspect all rules in one place:

• Summary and Description: Check what the enchantment does, its maximum level, villager trade status, and curse warning.
• Valid Items: See every piece of equipment that can receive the enchantment, and right click listed items to view their full compatible enchantment pools.
• Exclusions: Review mutually exclusive enchantments that cannot be paired with the selected one.
