Collecting Enchanted Books to Read Standard Vanilla Lore

Why You Need Enchanted Books Instead of Gear

Enchantment Lore Mod comes preloaded with lore entries and detailed descriptions for all standard Minecraft enchantments. However, because the mod works by letting you open Enchanted Books like Written Books, you cannot read lore directly from enchanted weapons, tools, or armor. To read the backstory and mechanics of a specific vanilla enchantment, you first need to acquire it in book form.

Ways to Gather Vanilla Enchanted Books

Use any standard survival method to build a collection of readable Enchanted Books:

• Enchanting Table: Place a regular Book into an Enchanting Table alongside Lapis Lazuli and spend experience levels to generate an Enchanted Book directly.
• Librarian Villagers: Place a Lectern near an unemployed villager to create a Librarian, then trade Emeralds and plain Books for Enchanted Books. Note that treasure enchantments like Mending or Frost Walker cannot come from an Enchanting Table and are easiest to get here.
• Fishing and Exploration: Fish with a Fishing Rod for a chance at treasure catches, or search loot chests in Stronghold libraries, Dungeons, Desert Temples, and Ancient Cities.

Store your collected Enchanted Books in a Chiseled Bookshelf or chest to keep a permanent, readable library of enchantment lore in your base before applying duplicates to your gear.
