Can You Reroll Enchantments in Minecraft?

What enchantments do in Minecraft

Yes, you can reroll enchantments in Minecraft. Enchant an item to change the Enchanting Table’s offers, then use a Grindstone to remove unwanted enchantments. The next offers will be different.

Enchantments add special powers to weapons, tools, armor, and some other items. Examples include Sharpness for a sword, Efficiency for a pickaxe, and Protection for armor. The offers are randomized, so you cannot pick any enchantment you want from the table.

The reroll method costs experience and Lapis Lazuli. It can also leave you with an enchantment you do not want, so use a low-cost item when testing. Rerolls are not a promise of a specific result.

How to enchant an item

First, craft or find an Enchanting Table and place it where you can reach it. You need Lapis Lazuli and enough experience levels to select an offer. Put the item in the left slot and lapis in the other slot.

The table shows up to three randomized options. Each option lists a level requirement and a hint about the enchantment. The hint does not always reveal every enchantment the item will receive. The strongest offer needs 3 Lapis Lazuli and 3 levels.

• Keep extra Lapis Lazuli in your inventory for repeated attempts.
• Check the level cost before selecting an offer.
• Use an item that can take the enchantments you want.

Once you choose an offer, the item receives one or more enchantments. The table’s offers then change. This change is the key to rerolling.

How the reroll process works

To reroll, enchant an item and then remove its enchantments with a Grindstone. Put the cleared item back in the Enchanting Table. You will see a new set of offers.

A simple test uses a wooden tool or another low-value item. Pick the cheapest offer, which usually costs 1 lapis and 1 level. Then clear the item and check the table again. This spends fewer resources than choosing the top offer each time.

1. Place the item and Lapis Lazuli in the Enchanting Table.
2. Choose an offer to change the table’s options.
3. Remove unwanted enchantments with a Grindstone.
4. Return the item to the table and review the new offers.

You do not need to keep the test item. Any eligible item can change the offers, but a cheap tool makes repeated tries less costly. You still need experience and lapis for each enchantment.

Remove unwanted enchantments with a Grindstone

A Grindstone removes most enchantments from an item. It also returns some experience, based on the enchantments removed. Curses are an exception: the Grindstone does not remove them.

Craft one with 2 sticks, 2 planks, and 1 stone slab. Place the Grindstone, then put the enchanted item into either input slot. Take the cleared item from the output slot.

Be careful when using it on valuable gear. The Grindstone removes all removable enchantments at once, not just the one you dislike. If you want to keep useful enchantments, store the item or consider whether an Anvil suits your plan better.

Tips for better enchantment options

Bookshelves raise the enchantment levels available at the table. Place them around the table with one empty block of space between each shelf and the table. Up to 15 bookshelves can unlock the highest-level offers, which require level 30.

Keep the gap clear. Torches, carpets, and other blocks in the space can stop shelves from boosting the table. If your offers remain weak, count the shelves and check that nothing blocks the space.

• Use 15 bookshelves for access to the strongest table offers.
• Save levels before seeking a high-level enchantment.
• Use low-cost offers to refresh options when your levels are scarce.
• Check the item type, since some enchantments only fit certain gear.

Even with a full bookshelf setup, the exact enchantments remain random. If the table keeps offering poor choices, refresh it with a cheap item rather than spending a high level on gear you value.

Use an Anvil to build better gear

An Anvil does not reroll the Enchanting Table’s offers. Instead, it lets you combine compatible items or apply an enchanted book to gear. This can help you build a stronger item from useful enchantments gathered over time.

Put the item and book, or two compatible items, into the Anvil’s input slots. Review the result and experience cost before taking it. The cost can rise as an item has more prior Anvil work, so plan combinations with care.

Use rerolls to seek fresh table offers, a Grindstone to clear unwanted enchantments, and an Anvil to combine useful ones. These tools serve different jobs. Matching the method to your goal helps you spend fewer levels and less lapis.

Frequently asked questions

Can you reroll enchantments in Minecraft? Yes. Enchant an item, clear its enchantments with a Grindstone, then check the table again for new offers.
