How to Check Where to Obtain Specific Enchantments

Not every enchantment can be rolled at an enchanting table, and modded enchantments often hide behind specific loot or trade pools. Instead of guessing how to farm a rare book, you can use the quick-read icons on the EMI Enchants page to see exactly where an enchantment comes from.

Reading the Five Source Icons

1. Open your inventory and locate the target enchanted book in the EMI menu.

2. Click the book to open its EMI Enchants lookup screen.

3. Look for the five quick-read icons displayed on the page. Each icon tells you whether the enchantment is associated with a specific source or category:

• Enchanting Tables: Shows whether you can roll the enchantment directly at a table using experience and lapis lazuli.
• Villager Trades: Indicates whether Librarian villagers can offer the enchanted book in their trade pools.
• Loot Chests: Confirms whether the book generates inside world loot chests.
• Treasure Finds: Marks treasure enchantments that cannot be obtained through normal table rolls.
• Curses: Flags cursed enchantments so you do not accidentally apply a negative effect to your gear.

Planning Your Farming Route

Before spending levels rerolling an enchanting table or cycling villager trades, check these five icons first. If the table icon indicates the perk does not generate there, you immediately know to focus on villager trading or chest exploration instead.
