Enchantments

Unstable Enchanting

Some enchantments can be combined beyond their normal level limits by merging books. When you do this, the resulting book becomes unstable. Unstable books are powerful, but they cannot be applied to equipment until they are polished.

To polish an unstable enchanted book, you need Enchantment Polish. Determine how many levels the book is over its normal maximum, and combine the unstable book with an equal amount of Enchantment Polish in an anvil. This produces a polished enchanted book that can be applied to equipment.

Obtaining Enchantment Polish

First acquire Enchantment Polish Base, then brew it together with the following materials:

• 4 stacks of bottles o' enchanting
• 1 stack of redstone dust
• 1 stack of lapis lazuli
• 16 diamonds

Brewing has a 1/9 chance to yield Enchantment Polish and an 8/9 chance to produce Botched Enchantment Polish. Only Enchantment Polish can be used for polishing books. Cleric villagers accept botched polish and will provide a partial refund.
